The NFL Draft and Mid-Term Elections
I am soooooo sick of all the media attention about the NFL draft and the mid-term elections. In both cases the media can't seem to think about much else. It is definitely a case of networks, newspapers and magazines having too little to do, or competely losing sight of the big picture of events. Prognosticating is certainly fun, to a certain extent. I like to think about the future and try to figure out what might happen, it is fun, sort of. However it is more than a little bit like staring at your navel....a waste of time.
I have heard way too much information about draft picks. Everyday a new analysis comes out about Vince Young. He didn't take enough snaps under center during his college career...so he drops 3 slots. Matt Leinhart ran a pro-style offense, up 2 slots. 15 articles each week repeating the same stupid stuff. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, I love that name, moves up as the others drop, so does Mario Williams. Now today Vince is picking up steam and up to #3 in SI's mock draft. (SI) STOP already.
And then there is the endless banter about the mid-term elections. Every day we hear more about the impending collapse of the Republican majority. Who is going to lose, what Dems will win. And what about the Senate, can the Dems take that too? Who is vulnerable? Where are the tight races. This has been going on for months. The party nominations haven't even been finalized. In addition, many races aren't decided until the last couple of weeks, or days. Talking about this once in a while is fine, but not all the time. It is like focusing completely on the NFL draft, or spending all your time thinking about next year's Super Bowl. Get a life....watch the game and shut up for a while.
