April in this area of the country has a lot more to offer than the NFL draft.

Seriously, why would someone be pissed about the new draft setup? If you're a diehard NFL draft guy, you get 3 days of it. If you're a casual NFL draft fan, you can still watch the first few rounds on Thursday and Friday, then have your weekend free.

As a one time experiment, I agree. It would sell out, just like they do now, and the international TV audience would increase (at least one time) by leaps and bounds and be a better marketing move than all years of the NFL Europe put together.

The one issue would be game time, and I don't discount that as an issue.

Now, this I can agree with.

it's the same thing...on the Monday after the draft you'll still have 32 teams with 7 new players and people like Mel Kiper and John Clayton giving every team a grade that doesn't mean shite.

I agree. I like the draft both ways. I guess just some people love to complain.

I'm all about bitching at Goodell, just not over the draft. In fact, he's probably generating a good amount of revenue by airing this in prime time through commercial dollars that he couldn't get on a Saturday at noon. He's made a lot of questionable-at-best decisions; I just don't think the draft is one of them.

VERY cool...as in freezing. Throw in the usual rain and it's miserable weather. I doubt they'll award London unless there's a dome being built for the 2012 games.

Who really cares about Regular season games in London? As fra as the Super Bowl at least you wouldn't have a home filed advantage. Can't see it happening.

also, nobody cares about the Pro Bowl anyway and we all know it. Goddell is marketing the NFL like he is supposed to.

I know they are screwing with the draft but I need to see how it will be laid out. Maybe I'll go this year finally.
