Would you pay to attend the combine? The NFL wants to know (shocking...)

[MadScientist]

If they succeed in charging for this, next will be a new first day of the combine. They will paint the shield on the field and the paying fans will get the privilege of watching the paint dry. Complete with commentators babbling about which color will dry first. Can't be much duller than the combine.

What I want to know is whether or not the ticket cost will include the Wonderlic test, or if they plan to charge separately for the privilege of watching players take the test.

Fritz and Patler,
It was simply a joke that apparently failed miserably. I tried doing a joke about the olden days and used Patler as a foil given he is a bit on the older side for the posters here.

No worries. I've bombed more jokes than an Islamic comic in the Catskills.

I thought she meant IUD but she actually said IED!

Hello, is this thing still on?

Were the drafts held in New York back then? My fondest memories of the draft were Jets fans booing and groaning about their picks!

Not sure when they moved to New York, though they used to be somewhere other than MSG.

Its used to be broadcast on a Tuesday I think and start at 7:00 AM Central. Pete Rozelle up front, Berman with Paul Zimmerman, Mel Kiper and Howard Balzer on the broadcast.

That was real draft watching! Watched it in the college dorms and all the folks who used to watch their stories at lunch would be stymied by the end of the 1st round. It wasn't long after that it moved to Saturday, which was ideal.

I KEEEELLL You!

Back to the thread....Zig, would you and your gender pay to watch these strapping young men? Maybe there are some measurements you and your gender would like to see. Maybe you could even do some color commentary and analysis.

I would not pay to watch these strapping young men (at least not pay to watch them run 40 and cone drills...ahem, where were we?) And if you want my color commentary and analysis, then I think the salary should be slightly more than Joe Buck...just saying.
