SALEM — Sports happened last night and it was beautiful. For the first time since March 12th one of the four major sports leagues had a live event and it just so happened to be one of my favorites, the NFL Draft.
People like me who love the draft are commonly referred to as “draft weirdos” and Thursday-Saturday is our time to shine. I’ve been studying the draft boards and doing mock drafts like my name is Mel Kiper Jr.
Quick shameless plug: find my mock drafts Here (#1), Here (#2), Here (#3), Here (#4), and Here (#5).
Even though it took far too long, night one of the draft served as a getaway for a lot of people. For the first time in forever we got to sit down, watch a sporting event and critizine extremely rich men for doing what they’re paid to do. That’s the whole thing about sports fandom, we’re there to put other people down in the most socially acceptable way possible, through sports.
Some people will fight me on that but here’s an exercise for all you sports fans. Tell me three things you love about the front office of your favorite sports team, now tell me five things you hate about them. I guarantee the five were easier to come up with. Even Patriots fans rampaged my twitter timeline because Bill Belichick Bill Belichick’d and traded out of the first round. Those are the same people who curse him for not being able to draft wide receivers, a pretty big need for the team right now. I digress. It’s just how we’re wired folks.
So as week six came to an end we got a little but of action in the form of the NFL Draft. The draft runs through Saturday, then on Sunday we get episodes 3 and 4 of “The Last Dance” 30-for-30 on ESPN. Enjoy this weekend sports fans, this is as good as it gets for a while.

See, there I go again, a sports fan, being negative for absolutely no reason.
