What about Bob?

In between picks at Radio City Music Hall (which is owned by Cablevision, which owns Newsday), songs are played to keep the folks entertained. One song in particular is still playing inside my head.

Perhaps if they replay Beyonce's "Single Ladies" multiple times during a three-day draft, it will move things along.

I offer two versions of the song here, courtesy of YouTube. The first is from the streets of London, where there is talk (premature, at this point) of a Super Bowl being played. The second is not. In fact, I happened upon the second one shortly after meeting our own Islander505 in Tempe last year before Giants-Cardinals.

The gentleman in the video was in stark contrast to the gathering of triathletes at the hotel that 505, Rock Star and I shared a beverage at. The athletes didn't seem to mind parading around in tight-fitting outerwear similar to the outfit worn by the gentleman in the second video.

Enjoy.

Game 7 tonight.

Rangers-Capitals.

Devils-Hurricanes.

Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News reports that the NFL is considering a plan to hold the first round of the NFL draft in prime time on a Thursday night, perhaps as soon as 2010.

Rounds 2-3 would be held on Friday evening, and then rounds 4-7 would be held on Saturday.

Wow.

When I first started covering pro football (1985), the draft was held on a Saturday in late April each year in a ballroom at the Marriott Marquis in New York. There were 12 rounds.

I draw two conclusions from this: 1. I am old. 2. There is a lot more interest in the draft nowadays.
