TENINCH Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'll see the Avengers movie a few weeks after it's opened and there are less people in that theater. NFL Draft is like Christmas for football fans. Outside of making the playoffs there isn't a bigger day in the NFL for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'll be in Phoenix next week. Wearing my Thielen jersey. No way am I missing out on being at a sports bar when AZ selects Kyler Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have 9:25pm tickets to Endgame so I'm hoping the Vikings pick before I leave for the theater at 9:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that puts it around 10 PM, so I should be back by then, possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of announcing the picks is pretty bad. "Pick is in" is on the screen way to long IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the "Pick is in" gets worse and worse in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be later than that if they stick to the 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-day thing is completely unnecessary. Hell, I wish it'd go back to being on Tuesday-Wednesday like it was prior to the late 80s...it would give me an excuse to take vacation days from work. I vaguely remember skipping class on Tuesday to see the Vikings select DJ Dozier and Hank Thomas, wondering who those guys were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken the Friday off after the 1st round for a couple years, if it is nice enough out I usually try and get a round of golf in with another buddy and we talk about the draft.

Remember, the movie is 3 hours & 1 minute and that's not including previews and end credit scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they certainly like it...I just think the whole 3-day draft extravaganza is completely unnecessary...but, it's certainly better than spending an entire night watching people talk about the schedule.

Me too! Watching the draft neither informs or entertains me in slightest. As for the movie...I think I'll wait until it's On Demand or on Netflix. Although, I did go see The Black Panther in the theatre with my son and I enjoyed that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc_vikingfan Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm picking Avengers. Been excited for it since Infinity war conclusion and spoilers will be rampant after Thursday. Pick the 6:30 show with the movie being 3hrs and add 20 minutes for trailers. Afterwards, I will be here joining the battle betwen "this pick was the worst ever" or "I love this pick he's a steal"! I can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
