So these past few years ESPN and the NFL network have had this annoying tendency during the draft to show the players talking on their phones to teams before they actually get called. So for example, when the jets picked Sanchez, before the official pick was announced they showed Mark Sanchez talking on his phone and smiling. It ruined the suspense of the pick for everyone watching, and Goodell apparently told the networks to knock it off. This of course isn’t going to stop twitter. hell, chances are high the players themselves will tweet before they get called. It was a nice effort by the League, but in today’s connected world I’m not sure it’s going to help much. We’ll see tomorrow.
