Read in this morning's LA Times that nearly TWICE as many people watched coverage of the NFL draft than watched the NHL playoff coverage last weekend (804,000 viewers vs 442,000 viewers).
I can't believe how dull NFL draft coverage is, and wondered why anyone would want to attend or go watch all day in a bar, as I know people do. I sometimes follow along getting news updates (esp for first round), but basically prefer to see the results when it is all over, since watching the draft as it occurs is not much different than watching paint dry.
If the NHL can't outdraw the fucking NFL draft, then I think as punishment Bettman should be forced to watch the entirety of the NFL draft so perhaps he can get a clue. As it stands in this society, anyone who enjoys or watches hockey is deemed a loser or an idiot, even tho, as someone who is fairly obsessed with all sports, nothing beats playoff hockey. Certainly not meaningless baseball in April, or the boring NFL draft.
I'm surprised that he hasn't been killed already. The man is a jackass, and has no right being the commissioner of the NHL when, judging by his body shape, the man has never played a sport in his life. Let's face it though, he clearly has a small man complex. He just wants to get back at all of the jocks (Jim Balsillie) who picked him last in P.E. class. He is ruining the league, and should be forced to quit. Unfortunately, he holds all the cards, and is basically the tyrant of hockey.
