OT - Draft Night Traditions?

Gold Chain · Post #1 » by **Gold Chain** » Tue Jun 9, 2009 2:32 pm

Wondering what people on here do for draft night?

For the last three years, I have a few friends over ( 4 in all, 2 Rap fans, 1 Knicks, 1 Piston fan) for the draft and we smoke out and talk a lot of trash.

Anyone else have any draft night traditions?

I argue with my wife over the fact that the random small college player the Knicks just picked in the 2nd round is more interesting than a Food Network Challenge.

Wow... we have the same life. Although my wife is now pregnant and much sleepier than she normally is. I bet she falls asleep well before the 2nd round this year.

Can't forget to say that this is one time of the year where Stephen A. Smith is entertaining. Calling out dudes on the PA while they approach their life's work? So cold and so fun to watch.

Also, has anyone here ever attended the draft in NY?

I know you have to line up super early that day to get in, but I am curious as to what the whole experience would be?

I usually sit down with few cold ones and watch the draft on my big screen, after our pick is made I generally go hop in my vehicle digusted with what i just seen, drive to the nearest dive bar and end my night hanging over a toilet filled with human crap.

Clearly inappropriate image. This is a warning.

shots after the words "upside" or "potential"
we usually pass out by pick 7

Don't forget the most recent addition to the draft day dialect - "motor"

set up my snacks. get the right butt groove on the cushion. then sit silently still for the next 2.5 hours while the draft commences. afterwards, i go to my room and cry myself to sleep because the only things i have to look forward to are these type of events.

I'm an archaeologists, and I excavate in the Middle East during the summers, so, I have not seen the last five drafts live. However, I check out the results the next day as soon as I can get to an internet café.

In 2004, I was actually on my way to the airport to catch a flight to the ME, and I had my brother feeding me updates on my cell. When the Raps finally made their pick, my bro called and told me they drafted some unknown Brazilian guy, and that the analysts were going crazy about how bad of a pick he was. It was a depressing flight...

The most surprising draft for me was when they took Charlie Villanueva and Joey Graham. I wasn't expecting another big guy to get drafted, and I wanted Danny Granger with the second pick. Either way, it was exciting having two first round picks. Since then, the drafts have sucked. We all knew Bargnani was getting picked.

This will be the first year since 2003 that I get to watch the draft live, as I don't head out until June 28. Woot!

Maybe not for ESPN< but some NEw York radio show or something will hire him and he will create soundbites that will make noise the next day. Stephen A made a career off mouthing off at the draft and he will find a way again.
