Seahawks set another NFL record!

[Jerhawk]

On the ESPN/ABC broadcast of the NFL draft this year, they went to commercial break during all eight of our picks, setting an NFL record!! Congratulations!

Typical ESPN. No one there gives a **** about us.

We are Homer watching the TV and Bart is ABC/ESPN when they cut to commercial.

To the networks and the NFL commissioner: That's a pretty blatant disdain of the Seahawks. Why don't you just contract us out of the league if we're so unworthy?

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

That’s sorta nuts

The Hawks can use this , one of two ways . Hope for sympathy for being dissed ; or play the badass and kick the chit out of everybody on the schedule this season .

Non legacy status...

There's no way it's not on purpose. They do it every year. Must have some 49er fans in production

I damn well love it! Us against all of them! If you can't get behind that and relish it, then you have something wrong with you!

I try not to get bothered by this kind of stuff any more…but I did feel like it was pretty blatant this time around.

This is the kind of stuff that annoys me when people try to make the argument, "Come on, stop it. No one is out to screw the Seahawks."

Well, the best player in the NBA, Nikola Jokic, was famously drafted during a Taco Bell commercial so nobody saw it. We can only hope that some of these guys just go on to similarly dominate the league.

Is this actually true or is it thought to be true because some random posted it on twitter?

It's legit true. Even though they televised the announcement of our 1st and 3rd round picks, they went to commercial break while we were on the clock during all 8 picks.

It's fixed!

I don't care much if it's a commercial when we are on the clock. I want to see the announcement. When a team is on the clock, they're mostly talking about the last selection.

This happens every year. I thought they went to commercial at Cleveland just before Seattle in 6th, but when they came back, both teams had picked.

I agree with nanomoz's post below your post I quoted.

 

[Seahawker]

It's by design. Seems it's always been that way, like Pete Prisco schedules the commercials.

Understood. Fingers crossed these draft picks pan out. Go Hawks!

Doesn’t matter. If we want it to be true we just repeat it enough - objective reality is for sissies
