Which draft coverage are we watching tonight?

[Dustin]

ESPN or NFLN? I'm going to go which everyone the majority of people on here are watching.

[gacker65]

NFLN

[twfish]

Nfln

[wig]

Give me Rich Eisen

[wig]

Side bar - I am hoping that a mod makes it very clear at the beginning this year that spoilers are not allowed.  Last year that was certainly not the case.

[Boiler_Colt]

I like the visual presentation of ESPN better, but I cant stand Kiper. Probably going to at least start on NFLN.

[Moncrief]

Mike, Rich, and the crew at NFL Network.  I dislike Kiper and the stupid jingle they play before every pick.

Or people could just be adults if it's spoiled. There are children that handle the truth about Santa better than some people handled the "spoiler." That spoiler = everyone's life was always exactly the same.

[21isSuperman]

NFL Network, though I will be flipping back and forth between the draft and game one of Pens vs. Capitals

There isn't really much we can do about it besides ask.  We can tell people not to spoil the pick through Twitter or whatever, but we can't stop them from posting it on here.  And it's not like we can retroactively delete the post because the pick is spoiled once the person hits submit.  But I will make a draft thread, similar to our game threads, and make an announcement for it in that thread

THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

 

It completely ruint last year with the spoilers from twitter

 

I suggest locking everything 10 minutes leading up to the pick

Unfortunately, that's not feasible.  All we can do is ask people not to spoil the pick before the TV announcement and hope for the best.

The child is the person that decides to be a * for no reason whatsoever.  If people want spoilers, they know where to get them.  Most people enjoy the broadcast without them.

Obviously if someone wants to spoil something nothing can be done.  But if it's stated that they aren't allowed can you not ban them for 24 hours or something?

[MTC]

I've been watching NFL Network for years. Hasn't changed. 

[BlueShoe]

I usually flip back and forth. 

 

I will watch ESPN more this year though, because Polian is supposed to be a large focal point.

I vote this.  Funny the first one to have an issue with us complaining was probably the very one doing it

Same with the chat. I'm going to make an announcement to keep the chat spoiler-free until the pick is announced live, however people will tend to leak it early and there's nothing we can do about it.

Technically no because he or she isn't breaking a site rule. 

[COLTS449]

I always go with NFL Network personally.

[JRnINDY]

NFLN

[Gavin]

NFL Network. I don't think I can stand listening to Kiper for 3 and a half hours. Of course the first time Mayock mentions "Thick thighs and bubble butts" I might just change my mind but Ill flip back and forth maybe a bit (Between networks, Not thick thighs and bubble butts)

As @MTC said, they aren't breaking any rules. It may be somewhat annoying, but they haven't done anything to warrant a suspension.

Best way to go about it is go to the forum after you see each pick is made already so nothing is spoiled

Whomever starts the draft thread should just post ****NO SPOILERS**** in the title. Someone will most likely spoil something, but that's just the nature of the internet.

Seeing as how you were the only person I recall doing so, I would think it would be pretty easy.

Wasn't being anything other than me, I was asked to spoil, so I did. I can be an (insert whatever you'd like to call me here), but I don't need to prove anything on the internet.

You're right, I did spoil it after half a dozen or more told me to. I don't have an issue with you complaining, I just think if a draft spoiler is the worst thing about your day then you were pretty lucky all things considered.

Or you could simply use the, wait for it, spoiler function.

I don't plan on it, nor do I plan on being on here during the draft. I almost quit posting after that because instead of dm-ing me with your complaints, people spoke in code about my "actions". I'm not spoiling a thing this year, but if someone does you will live and so will everyone else.

Look I'm stepping away from this conversation, not because you've proven anything, or because I fear the forthcoming wrath of a group of people I'll most likely never meet irl, but  because it's derailing the actual topic of the post and there's a better than good chance that these comments are going to get deleted by mods anyway.

[DougDew]

ESPN.  Both networks are annoying in their own way.

 

As far as spoiler:  I don't understand the motivation to knowingly post the pick on here  before the TV has announced it.

 

Gotta wonder if they giggle when they do it...

No, since I'm 30 I'm a little past the giggling at someone thinking I'm a jerk on the internet phase. 1998 was a long time ago.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the draft, but who you got winning that series?

I was just making a general comment. 

 

My bad, I didn't know you were already planning on being a spoiler today.

[Colts_Fan12]

Well I got to work so I will just check on here on break and lunch

read above, I'm not. I was the witch on trial last year, so ahem forgive me for owning up to my actions (albeit silly in the grand scheme) and feeling the need to comment when I feel as though I've been called out. That's kind of me, I speak up when I feel I've been spoken to.

Doing something to intentionally ruin the experience for others is still childish...Especially just because you were asked. Harmless of course but still immature. Would you stick your tongue to an electric fence to just because you were asked?. Look Im not calling you a child but that's something some teenager would do or someone that's not quite reached maturity at least.

 

Just my opinion, I'm staying away from the draft until each pick is made. Don't take what I said as a personal shot to you because it wasn't but just my opinion

Meh I've known you on here long enough to not be offended or take it personal. Here's the thing, spoilers don't bother me, they never have, It can certainly take away from the experience to a degree, but you still have the experience.

 

I wouldn't do anything I was asked to if I didn't want to. Had I read anywhere that people were adamantly against me spoiling it, I would have never done it. I don't get my kicks from being that guy on the internet or IRL. If i ruined it, then sorry (I guess) wasn't my intention to upset anyone or to ruin someones day.

 

Not directed at you Gavin, but reiterating the point that I'm not spoiling anything tonight. Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

[Defjamz26]

I don't care too much about Spoilers outside the first 2 rounds. But it's easy to avoid. If you're doing the live chat room just don't look at the chat until after the pick is announced. That's what I'll be doing.

Capitals! I'm a huge Ovechkin fan and I really wanna see him win a ring before he retires. I think they're the most complete team. To this day, I curse McPhee for trading Filip Forsberg. But I think they have what it takes to go all the way this year. Although, the Pens are hot right now, so it'll be a good series. Who do you have?
