How is he going to be the number two pick in the draft?
The other one that worried me was
Tyson, the wide receiver, who's stud but injury prone.
And I talked on Tuesday about the different types of wide receivers.
The injury prone stud has broken a lot of hearts over the years and sometimes made some teams happy.
You just never know.
He goes to the Saints, a team that plays in the Superdome.
And...
has a pretty legendary situation with the saints and the pelicans and they cheap out on uh training staff medical staff stuff and it just feels like a good luck all the way around i don't know if i would have taken this guy if i'm the saints um but i guess chris alave has somebody to play cards with when he's in the trainer's room the biggest thing i noticed from the draft other than i don't really understand espn's strategy of having the college guys on
ABC, and then whatever that Mike Greenberg thing was on ESPN, but not just using the NFL Live people, which is a really good show.
I just maybe would have used those people.
But Goodell's hugs.
This has been weird the entire time he's been doing it, and there's been a million comments and a million videos, and I'm not breaking any new ground here.
The hugs have gotten longer.
I think he's tried to figure out how he can, I'd love for somebody to break this down, the hugs from 10, 12 years ago to the hugs in 2026, because I think he's holding on longer.
I think he's trying to make them more meaningful and they're starting to take on the vibes of somebody who's reuniting with their son who just did a five year tour in Vietnam in the early seventies and came home.
And they never thought they'd see their son again.
And they see them and they're just hugging for 10, 12 seconds.
And that's how long these hugs are taking now.
And I just don't understand that.
