@zebibyte@j@nfl The refs union have got the NFL by the balls. It's a tossup whether you get a good or shit ref and after a certain number of years, it's hard to sack them
@nfl Quick reminder to everyone: Draft grades right after the draft are blind shots in the dark and are just made because they have to fill their quota of time/articles
@gbhnews This tree is at least one foot across and so tall it doesn't even fit in the frame. For reference, the tree in the foreground is much closer and 7 feet tall. I would have moved to get it out of shot but the tree on the opposite side has poison ivy growing on it :(

Hey yโall โฆ we drafted a Canadian into the #NYG squad. Theo Johnson from Welland Ontario, he & coach Daboll are from Ontario (Windsor). ๐จ๐ฆ #NYGiants#Giants#nfldraft#NFLDraft2024@nfl
Welland is close to Buffalo NY & Windsor is close to Detroit MI, just to give ya an indication.
@zebibyte@nfl A few blocks away from where the draft is being held, there's a tunnel that takes you under the river into Windsor. It's 1000-1500 feet (300-430m) across the river between the two cities
@stux One of those huge trucks has a purpose (hauling big/heavy things and towing big heavy things), however so many more people buy them than need them because they're compensating for something.
So many of them get produced in the US because the emissions standards are more lenient for heavier vehicles than lighter ones
@nfl
Don't be surprised if teams trade up or trade out using day 3 picks. The quality of this year's day 3 picks are supposedly absolutely terrible #NFL#NFLDraft
@j@nfl "We've saturated the US market, Canada, Ireland, and Australia have their own entrenched variants of football, Japan and South Korea are obsessed with baseball, New Zealand is obsessed with rugby, so it's time to exploit the rest of the world." #NFL#NFLDraft
Lol ...Kid Rock could have been part of this but his brain-wormed ass had to get mad at a Bud Light can. Now he's probably watching the #nfldraft from whatever hardware store parking lot he's playing tonight
@emmreef@nfl And he's not actually from Detroit anyway. He's from Romeo, Michigan in Macomb County, the county north of Wayne County where Detroit is located
@al_x_mq@j@nfl And they jacked up the audio for the first 8 minutes so only the brief interview had sound. At least it was the pre-draft countdown and not the actual draft
There's no sound from 5:42 until 12:43 except for a pre-recorded interview from 8:00 to 12:00 which sucks because that's where they're describing the big board.
I still have no idea what red vs black text means on the players but upside down means the guy has character issues. The middle is broken down by position, ordered by predicted pick order with a big gap between those who are slated to go in the first vs second round. On the right is best available regardless of position. On the left is all the teams and their name is placed next to the team once they're picked.
