WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, DRAFT DAY or GAME DAY ?

[Schmitbuck]

Interesting question. I think game day is the obvious answer for most fans in general. But as someone whose 'formative fan years' was during the Shula, Coslet, LeBeau eras, because the Bengals never invested in free agents, the draft felt much more important. Heck, they were usually out of the playoffs by week 8 most years so the draft was all we had to look forward to.

I used to catch a lot of he!! in college from my roommates because I'd spend hours "playing" Madden on the PS2. And by playing, I mean I would spend all my time focusing on free agency & the draft and would simulate the season. :)
