I got done about pick 19, so I thought I would stick around til our pick, the TV was on ESPN, I let out a load big "yeah". I drove home to rewatch it on NFLN and was very pissed, nothing!! "Bengals get their center with Billy Price out of OSU, good pick" Ok next pick.... Total bullshit!!
It sucked, to be sure. But to be fair, I don't remember much of a package for Ragnow with the Lions either. Center isn't the easiest position to have highlight film on, nor do most casual viewers care. Plus, taking all previous bodies of work into account, I'm willing to give NFLN a pass on this one. They typically give us more airtime than ESPN, and when they do they're rarely as snarky and dismissive as ESPN has historically been. Just because ESPN out did NFLN last night doesn't erase 20+ years of their overly critical, usually proven wrong several years later, crappy commentary and piss-poor coverage. ESPN is the blind squirrel that found a nut, just because they did it once doesn't mean it'll happen again.
