Great thanks, Dr. Coffey!
I must've missed this one. How did these two worlds intersect? Has to be a story there.
Spot on.
The first round of the NFL Draft averaged 12.1 million viewers. That's more viewers than... • All 2023 World Series Games • All 2023 Stanley Cup Finals Game • 4/5 2023 NBA Finals Games • Every 2023 college football regular season game but one Absolutely incredible.
I've spent most of my life here in Detroit, and - looking at this picture - I've never been more proud to say I live in this town. 275,000 people on the first night. A new record for the NFL Draft. Wow.

A day later, the many tributes to Bob Cole leave me with one thought. In this business, you can be the best and there are always some who think you’re the worst. I never, but never heard anyone say “I don’t like listening to Bob Cole”.
Detroit set the all-time record for largest attendance for round one of the NFL draft. Detroit got the chance to have the world's eyes on them and this is how they showed up. 🤍
Nice work.
When you consider that some 400,000 people are converging on Detroit for three days to watch middle-aged men talk on the phone then say a person's name, to loud cheers and boos, you have to marvel at what the NFL has created.
Me, too.
Liked this more than I probably should have.

Now that the Coyotes are moving to Utah, may I suggest they be called the Utah Reggae? I say we just name every pro sports team in Utah after a genre of music literally no one in the state has ever listened to. Lean into it.
Just a guy with 39 successful combat flight missions on his resume about to dig in with a guy who was a machine gunner at Omaha Beach on D-Day behind the plate. Two goddamn men.

As sports gambling has exploded, thanks partly to online sites sponsoring just about everything, expect a lot more of this to happen in all sports, college and pro.

Classic.
And this is what it felt like after those stunning first-round losses to Toronto and San Jose in the early '90s. So hard to try to interview athletes as they sat by their stalls in tears.

@Johnubacon Likely involves Doris Kearns Goodwin, John Dean and handwritten letter from Eisenhower to Gerald Ford, Christmas 1963
The perfect description of Bob Cole, with a message for all of us.
I met Bob Cole on May 13, 2014. Game 7, Rangers-Penguins. I introduced myself after the skate, said how often I’d watched him on CBC from Michigan. I was starstruck, to be honest, and asked the most reflexive question that came to mind. “What do you think will happen tonight?”…

Excited for my next chapter!
Keeping it local!! Michael Hall Jr. is staying home! 📰» brow.nz/add621
@Johnubacon Even more amazing was they had multiple ads for the schedule reveal program next month. Probably drawn out over an hour. At least the draft it's fun watching players and their families be happy.
A day later, the many tributes to Bob Cole leave me with one thought. In this business, you can be the best and there are always some who think you’re the worst. I never, but never heard anyone say “I don’t like listening to Bob Cole”.
@Johnubacon I will also add, this is as much about the Lions as it is the NFL in general. Maybe even a tie between coming down there to celebrate what the city of Detroit has accomplished and what the Lions have accomplished. 90% of everyone down there was in Lions gear.
@Johnubacon I’m sure it’s largely the NFL that brought people in, but as a MI die hard, I was there for the college players.
@Johnubacon To me the NFL draft has turned intk the NFL fan convention. NFL fans from all over the country attend these drafts to be around one another and have a good time.
@BigJohn0089 @Johnubacon I saw a video of fans from various teams mingling and sharing fist bumps and high fives to each other. It was fun to watch!
@Johnubacon Ya, had the conversation tonight. I liken going to the draft to going to spring games (it’s *practice* for goodness sake, and I’m an ex player). But there is no denying that the NFL has turned it into a huge event, so kudos to their marketing.
@Johnubacon Note: A record-setting 275K the first day. The crowd will far exceed 400K over 3 days. Story by @paulegan4 freep.com/story/sports/n… via @freep @freepsports @NFL #DraftDay
Indeed, but honestly give me a 10am start on a week day with Beano in the balcony with @nyjets fans. 🤷♂️🤦♂️yeah I’m showing my age.
When you consider that some 400,000 people are converging on Detroit for three days to watch middle-aged men talk on the phone then say a person's name, to loud cheers and boos, you have to marvel at what the NFL has created.
