    Amen brother!

    The draft simply shows that there are literally hordes of people that are literally addicted to the NFL. I'm talking true, like getting the shakes from going 24 hours without an update to what their team ate for lunch, addiction.

    This is one of the reasons I want the NFL to fail on an epic scale.

          More of a reason to watch the EPL instead of SC in the morning.

          One wonders if Fox, CBS, or NBC will take a chance on a SC like show again. Lotta talent to try. Just costs more money than doing another action show.

            What are the ratings for the NFL Draft vs. SC Playoffs?

              I actually doubt it, since the major sports now have their own networks, and the major networks have their own priorities. For example, I wouldn't expect Fox to do much with hockey highlights at the national level, nor would I expect NBC to do much with MLB.

                Which is kind of a bummer for the generalists out there. I'm not willing to choose a specific sport to only watch their highlights.

                  Probably not going to see TV like this again. Most people can just go to any number of options on the web to see highlights of any game/match they want to see. No need to sit through 35 minutes of show to see Sox/Tigers highlights from last night.

                  Also remember that NBC tried this with The 'Lights back in 2013 and no one tuned in.

                    Which is a shame, I really liked that show. Great for watching while on a treadmill at the gym.

                    But you hit the nail on the head for why even that great idea won't work anymore.

                      Yeah, but on the other hand, if I want to see highlights from around the league, ....

                      Well, in that case I'd probably be more likely to tune into a 15-minute show that just covered baseball highlights.

                        We're the last generation(currently ~28-35 years old) that used TV as our main source for this info. Kids born after that use the web. MLB has a list of scores/highlights on their front page. Just a few clicks get you there.

                        This is no different than our parents looking in the paper vs us watching the 8am SportsCenter.

                            Thing is it seems to be a regression in pleasing the senses in that at least SC showed highlights which I like to see. Before that your newspaper did not and I certainly don't look to checking out highlights when on my phone (although I will from a laptop).
