Jim, explain how you prepare to cover the Bengals' draft. Making the trip to Philly? Flying United Airlines? Staying in Cincy? How much do you study up on the players beforehand? Where do you get your information? Who helps you? Etc.
As an outsider looking in, it seems to me certain times of the year would be busier for you than others. Is that true? And how does draft time stack up to other times during the year? Have you heard any reaction from teams or players about the NFL pushing the draft back a little deeper into April? They like the extra time to prepare? They don't like it because they want to start working with the rookies sooner?
I like draft time so I would imagine this is a pretty cool time of the year for you. Or maybe not, because it pulls you away from family commitments like birthdays or whatever. What's it like for you?
