Are you watching mostly NFL Network or ESPN Draft coverage during Draft? - preference

[guyofthetiger]

I will be watching 100 percent ESPN. I don't get NFL Network because I just have basic cable. Anyway, I find ESPN's coverage okay.

I always liked Berman.

I like the more wild or erratic personalities in general.

Guys like Terry Bradshaw, Dion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson and Jon Gruden have personalities that liven up the show. They aren't afraid to speak their minds and will mess with some of the other more buttoned up analysts.

I remember some of the old timer Sports analysts like Howard Cosell who would say whatever was on his mind and start some big debates or get himself into trouble.

Also some may remember "Jimmy the Greek" who would predict the outcome of games and get into debates at times.

I like the unpredictable guys with personality.

I like Berman too; love his voice and he always has a great attitude, I feel.

Can definitely understand how and why people dislike him though, lol.

BTW, forgot to mention in my earlier post; we don't even get ESPN in Canada, so I couldn't watch it even if I wanted to lol.

I just want the information and analysis. I don’t need the dog and pony show.

But I understand why people. Like it

NFL channel's draft broadcast will be on FOX for the first time, so you should be able to watch it.

Actually this is the first year that the entire draft will be on broadcast channels, FOX (NFL channel) tonight and tomorrow night and ABC (ESPN) on Saturday.

Day 1 and 2 are on Sky over here so I imagine they’ll take the Fox/NFL Network pictures.

Managed to cancel all my meetings for tomorrow so the early morning finish shouldn’t be too much of a killer.

At work right now and the day is going in Super SLOW Motion due to Draft anticipation.

I have not seen any politics on ESPN.

I know Will Cain was a political commentator on The Blaze before he came to ESPN, but I don't think I have heard him talk politics on ESPN.

I think they learned their lesson with the Rush Limbaugh debacle.

Josina Anderson would not agree.

Also Chink in the Armour guy would like his job back.

And the Asian play by play guy named Lee would like to call the Virginia basketball game without fear he isn’t lumped in as a Confederate flag toting guy.

Not sure what any of this is about.  I don't think any of it was on the air.

But this is not the time or place to get into politics.  We can discuss it after the draft.

Well, since we finished up today and I'm not stuck in a motel room on the road, I'll be watching NFL network from the comfort of my own home.

Actually it was on the air. But fair enough. Nothing to discuss though, you can YouTube all this stuff.

Excellent!

I’ve been watching Mel Kiper do the draft since I was 8 (1987) and I’ll continue until Kiper retires. The last few years I would spend some time on NFLN to avoid listening to Gruden, but Deon is just as bad.

NFL Network. I find their announcers to be the least annoying.

Wingo be damned. ESPN coverage is better right now
