Both networks have pledged not to show images of players on the phone in the green room at Radio City Music Hall . In addition to that, both networks tell SI.com that they will tell staffers not to report pick-by-pick selections on their Twitter feeds prior to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announcing the picks on the podium.

Completely ruined it for me seeing them do that. I bitched non stop.

Takes away from the moment of the announcement. Why do they even do the phone call to begin with?

And not a single link was given that day.

Stop completely copying and pasting shite from elsewhere and please provide links.

Didn't Jay Glazer already say he DGAF. He will be tweeting picks when he gets them. So let the butt hurt flow.

So stay off twitter.



OP, just clean it up and maybe bold or underline the good stuff.

Doesn't work for ESPN or NFLNetwork, so he can do what he wants.

We get a little bit of a heads up as producers — a very short heads up — but we have never, ever, ever, I promise you, told the pick to any of our talent,” he said.


Both networks are frickin' lying.

I almost threw my beer at NFLN's Jason Lacanfora for saying who the picks were 30 seconds before every Goodell announcement.

And espn (every year since I can remember) has shown the table of every green room guy picked, just before Goodell called his name.

But I do hope both networks do mean that shite will no longer be done.

Would rather this as well. But there's no way to contain Twitter

Great news. Should be a lot more fun. I could give a shite about twitter.

Taking vacation from thur-tue so my first night will be back in St Aug watching the draft on the balcony with my dad and son(although obviously won't care.) Good times.

I know. It will hopefully be even more suspenseful when we pick..That's if we pick someone that was actually Invited.

Not a good, but a GREAT idea. Will make the draft much more enjoyable.

I don't know who you are as poster, so I assume you don't know that this guy has blatantly come on here daily and posted thread topics, word for word, from other forums, and regularly posted articles or parts of them without links.

People have commented on it and its gotten a bit annoying. Normally I don't care its just happened repeatedly. So, frick off.

I don't twitter so I don't care. I just want to tune into NFLN...watch the show and not be spoiled. It really killed my interest the past 2-3 years. I DGAF...I like the anticipation.

Same reason I won't be tuning in here...some jackass will post whatever is tweeted. You know it's coming so get ready to be spoiled if you post during the draft.
