Poll: How Will You Watch the Draft - ESPN or NFL Network?

[feldspar]

Which channel do you prefer to watch the draft on?

Just curious.

Tell me why...

[THATHURMANATOR]

Not at all.

I will be playing hockey.

Glad to not be wasting my time watching that bore fest.

[jimmifli]

I think I'll just watch this clip on a loop.

[Night Train]

NFL Network

[trapezeus]

whatever the bar selects.

[swiper]

I'll flip. I'll spend most time on the one that's least annoying.

[The Jokeman]

I tend to watch NFL Network and DVR ESPN but might flip after the Bills pick to see what the ESPN folk said about the Bills' selections. I think ESPN has some good guys but lost my affection for Berman a few years ago as his "cabbie schtick" grew old.

[GingerP]

I'll watch primarily NFL Network, but flip to ESPN occasionally. I'd be OK with ESPN if not for Berman. I'm not sure why he does this event anymore, he is terrible. He talks way too much and rarely has anything to say. He lost his fastball years ago and just rambles now. I can't watch the guy, he is absolutely terrible.

[Ed]

I think I prefer NFL network more at this point, but usually flip back and forth. I'm out of town for work this week though, so I'm stuck with just ESPN.

[bleve]

If the first round draft was on a Friday, I'd have the same excuse.

Good luck!

[YardRat]

NFLN...Rich Eisen is a hoot.

[coastal]

Is twitter still going to know before the rest if us who don't do that ****?

[Lefty2985]

Nfl network. I hate espn personally.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Haha

I am kind of glad because if I didn't have hockey I would waste my whole night watching it of course!

[mrbojanglezs]

I like Mayock and Charles Davis so NFL

[superbills]

Whichever site isn't in commercial for the Bills' pick! :up:

[DraftBoy]

Apparently both NFLN and ESPN have committed to not tipping first round picks.

No telling what the guys at Fox (Jay Glazer), CBS (La Canfora), or Yahoo are going to do.

Charles Davis is so great.

[Historian]

I avoid whichever network has Kiper on it.

[Lone Stranger]

My preference is Mayock & Co but I'll be using the remote.

[Fixxxer]

NFL network on the internet.

[TacklingDummy]

I'll flip around from watching other shows on TV to when the Bills pick and after that I don't watch at all. After the 1st round pick the draft it pretty much boring.

The nice thing about being a Bills fan the draft is pretty much over after the 11th pick to waste the night watching.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Mayock >>> Kiper

I do enjoy Gruden though

[stuckincincy]

Nailed it in one!

Like Ralphie said, "A crummy commercial...son of a bit*h!"

[Forward_Lateral]

Both probably. I like NFL network's coverage better, but i also like listening to Gruden and Berman

[MJones83]

Mostly NFLN but I'll flip back and forth. I'm not a fan of Kiper but I really don't like Todd McShay.

Charles Davis is so great.

That makes me happy. They destroy the point of watching the draft when they do that. If there was no suspense and surpise, the draft would be garbage to watch. Thank you I was gonna ask if anyone knew if one or the other was going to hint the pick. When they show the prospects on the phone it ruins it completely.

[CoolBreeze]

NFL network will be my main channel. But I'd be lying if I said ESPN wouldn't find it's way on my TV. I enjoy Berman and Gruden but I despise McShay and Kiper

it's like watching the oscars and having one of the auditors walk up to the best actor to let them know they won. it would be more fun if a team had the pick, they showed the 2 or 3 options the teams are supposedly looking at, talk over the highlight package for those players and then just show the commish going up to say who the winner is. Then they show you the behind the scenes footage after that team has picked.

[MTBillsFan]

I don't have cable...so it looks like twitter for me.

Agreed, that's a good idea. I think last year they did well not tipping the pick. It wasn't long before that they were awful you'd know who the pick was 3 minutes before the actual announcment.

I think both ESPN and NFLN are live streaming their draft coverage.

I think there is a lot they could do to help make the coverage better. The issue is the wide range of fans you have. I'd love a more drilled down technical draft show that broke down tape and showed the strengths and weaknesses but you'd alienate 90% of the audience with that kind of a show.

[Dr. Who]

Though I appreciate Berman is a Bills fan of some sort, I find him difficult to listen to. In general, ESPN annoys me, but my basic cable doesn't have NFL Network, so I'm watching Kiper and Co.
