NFL Draft Gets Highest Ratings EVER For Any Year

2014 NFL Draft: 1st round draws highest ratings ever - SBNation.com

I saw a thread last night complaining about why the NFL Draft has to take over ESPN over the NBA Playoffs, and how that was blasphemous for LeBron to be bumped to ESPN 2. LMAO at those fools thinking that anyone cared to see playoff basketball last night. The NBA with it's playoff games last night of Nets-Heat & Blazers Spurs combined didn't get HALF the rating the NFL Draft got last night. LeBron and his Miami Heat scored a pathetic 2.7 rating, while the NFL Draft received an 8.6 rating during that same time.

One more time, the NFL outdrew the NBA by nearly 4 times the audience last night. LMAO at anyone here finding it unbelievable that the NBA was relegated to ESPN 2 last night.

telling, the 2nd round has been total garbage. i dont think it would have changed the numbers much, but this round has been such a letdown compared to the 1st

the draft should have been in primetime years ago, NFL eatin good. next year with Hundley, Winston and Mariota? would out-rate any NBA game for that hour, guaranteed

the obvious reason is Johnny Football.

They said 5% of all tweets last night mentioned Manziel. That's crazy.

People tuned in to see where he was going, then when he didnt go, they watche to see his reactions, and then to see finally when he did go.

They got them type of numbers to have some college boys walk across a stage.

two weeks more hype plus the story they built out of johnny - let's be reality, the media made him bigger than he should be. i'm sure most the viewers who don't watch CFB watched b/c every sports outlet made this madtv lookin nikka into teebow 2.0.

it also doesn't help that both the series going on last night are clear lopsided beatdowns, had that been the GS/LAC series from last week or MEM/OKC, they would've had competition

People wanted to see if the Jags would draft a punter in the1st round. They were close
