Post Draft Hangover
Post Draft Hangover -Get Ready for Pickle City Thursday
Maybe Beyonce thinks that if you have nothing but Jay Z and a bunch of lemons, you make Lemonade, but here in Pickle City, you try to make the most out of a draft where the former GM left you nothing but cucumbers and the current GM traded draft picks for two guys who promptly retired.
It was that kind of mess for the 2016 CFL draft which TSN deigned to show for an hour Tuesday night but then suffered the embarrassment of being scooped by a guy in Hamilton who posted the picks long before the CFL commissioner announced them.
Of course TSN had more important things to cover like covering what haircut Austin Matthews will be getting after the World Hockey Championships so the CFL should consider itself lucky to have an hour.
TSN should be doing a better job of covering the CFL, and the CFL could be doing a better job of marketing its product. Instead of having open phone lines where a lucky reporter can post draft picks before they are being announced, why not hold the draft in Western Canada where we give a damn about our football and dedicate maybe one of the five channels TSN has to showing the whole draft?
