A draft in here

The NFL is to be commended for shortening its ridiculous 15 minute first round selections to 10 minutes each. As an East Coast guy, though, moving the draft start to 3:00 pm seems like an overreaction to those chai-loving football hating west coasters who still won't give a rip if the no longer LA but St. Louis Rams take Colt Brennan in the first round at 9 am or noon their time. Even more nonsensically, the "league" was so concerned about the time difference that they shifted Saturday start time, but left the Sunday start time -10 am - the same. What, left coasters will be more likely to tune it to rounds 3-7 at 7 am than noon? And those rounds are where championship teams are made.
