    the NFL draft is wretched excess to the extreme.

    I was watching the first few picks and the Saints were up.  That hack Mel Kuiper is speaking “I see Seder Sanders as a good fit here, the Saints can use him blah blah blah”

    The New Orleans Saints with the 9th pick of the draft select Kelvin Banks OT from Texas.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!

    I get that the NFL is the most popular sport in America…..but does ESPN really have to talk about it 365 days of the year? yeah, the draft is coming up….to my mind, there’s about five uncertainties worth talking about and it doesn’t have to be discussed day after day after day.

    All about content and filling space on social media.
    Baseball has multiple games a day.  They can fill the whole day with what players are doing and playing well.  It’s a shame they don’t pay attention to other sports more…

    looks like shadeur’s logo is a giant money sign. he may be an OK kid but, to me, it’s not a good look.

    His father used to draw that in the dirt when he was batting.  I believe Cartlon Fisk chased his ass up the base path because of that.

    Deion was a perfectly mediocre baseball player. Replacement Player at best. It felt gimmicky to me that he played two sports. He was certainly not Bo Jackson.

    A phenomenal CB though, you have to give him that.

    Yes. Better BB player than MJ, tho.

    Brian Jordan was a very good two sport player. Not as good as Bo but better than Sanders.  He was smart to eventually focus on baseball.

    Not fully football related but Danny Ainge is the only person to ever be Parade All-American in Football, Basketball and Baseball.  Also played in both the major leagues and NBA.  Probably the most underrated athlete of all time.
