If you've noticed, there haven't been many weblog posts by anyone in the community this weekend. Some may attribute that to end-of-the-semester workloads or a decline in the popularity of weblogs in general, but I know better. The slow period was because everyone's eyes were off the internet and glued to ESPN's round-the-clock broadcast of the NFL Draft.

Some ESPN pundits call the draft the "second biggest weekend of the season" (the first, of course, being the Super Bowl). I would be inclined to agree, as nothing in sports gets me more jacked up than hearing those magical words, "With the 181st pick in the draft, the Tampa Bay Buccanneers select Nate Lawrie from Yale University", and then watching 15 minutes of hastily-spliced-together montage footage of the player playing college, high school, and Pop Warner football while random people praise him for his "upside", "intangibles", and "character" as we all wait breathlessly for pick number 182.

But in case you happened to miss this year's NFL draft and (god willing) last week's televised WNBA draft, never fear, for we're only a month or two away from the NBA draft. How many first rounders will have names you can't pronounce? How many will have suits that actually look stylish or at least fit them? How many draftees are young enough to be your son? Stay tuned to ESPN for all-day coverage, followed by weeks of analysis.
