Let me help with something, since you are clearly confused:
news (noun) \ˈnüz, ˈnyüz\
1. a report of a recent event; intelligence; information.
2. the presentation of a report on recent or new events in a newspaper or other periodical or on radio or television.
I could continue, but let’s just stick with those two simple definitions. With those in mind, I’d like to know: how does the NFL Draft fit into either of those definitions? It has not happened, it is not informative, it is not a “recent or new event”. Moreover, I think I counted three playoff basketball games, three playoff hockey games, and sixteen regular season baseball games.
So why the hell are you spending large swaths of time on Sportscenter for weeks on end on something that doesn’t remotely qualify as news (and isn’t really all that important in the grand scheme of things)? Take a freaking break: Saturday will be here soon enough and then you can report on, you know, a news event: the actual draft. If I see one more mock draft, I will be taking the family vacation to Connecticut this year to asplode your studios.
Yours,
Peter
P.S. In case you think I’m just biased against the NFL, it was even worse when you had that tool, Steve Phillips, doing mock press conferences for each of the MLB teams. Really, just stop it.
