I hope you enjoyed today’s liveblog of the NFL draft with the Ladies… and other assorted characters. What? You didn’t join us? What is wrong with you?
Well, you can make up for that mistake by spending tomorrow with us. We will once again liveblog the rest of the draft - the day without the agonizing pictures of Chad Henne and Brian Brohm, no Roger Goodell, and a reduced Boomer presence.

Sunday’s liveblog kicks off at 9:30 Eastern. Join us!
