April 22: Streaming the Draft

Tonight is Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft. I'm spending the opening picks at the dance studio while my daughter attends her Thursday evening class. Fortunately, today's technology can bridge the gap of miles between two locations across different states. What I mean is, thanks to a laptop, wireless Internet and NFL.com, I can watch the draft live while my daughter dances away down the hall. I've never watched a professional sports draft from a computer before (although I have participated in several fantasy sports drafts via computer). Heck, I don't even usually watch the NFL draft, but I'm kind of inspired this year by the Lions' new regime and some of the bold moves they've made thus far via free agency. Besides, how often can you watch your hometown team draft a guy with the first name Ndamukong?
