NFL Draft to be held... on water
 

And players are going to use... boats? WTF is this shit?

Also, I know the perfect boat for all the Broncos draft picks to use. The SS Poseidon!

They were planning to do this a couple of years ago, but had to change plans due to concerns that Garrett Bolles would drown trying to walk to the stage.

Mahomes wouldn't need a boat to get across the water.

Why not?

ROFL

Because he can walk on water.

This is a dumb idea the 1st round is slow as shit now as it is. If they aren't wearing personal flotation devices I am calling the water patrol. Those kids are nervous enough lets put them on water to get motion sickness. Hell some I bet have never even been on a boat.

How?

Your religion doesn't believe in a messiah, right?

Ten bucks says some smartass clown dresses up like a pirate on draft day as he rides the boat over to the stage.

This is a dumb idea.

It’s just the red carpet guys. The actual stage part isn’t on the water. Thank goodness, as the 1st round already takes forever.

Make it interesting and put sharks in the water.

Berman: "The Browns 1st round pick makes his way to the stage. He had a great junior year at... Oh no, the sharks are on the attack."

Kiper: "It looks like those sharks have surrounded his boat."

Berman: "NOBODY CIRCLES THE BOAT LIKE THE LAS VEGAS SHARKS!"

Kiper: "Oh no! It looks like they just ripped his leg clean off! This is going to seriously hurt the Browns draft grade."

Booger: "Mel, I agree. Having his legs ripped off is probably going to make it harder for him to rush the passer next season."

I still don't get it, and I'm the one who posted the freakin thread. Where does the red carpet lead? Why would you travel by boat to something whose very purpose is to have you walk a path? Do you follow the red carpet to dry land or something?

that's just the read carpet to interview draftees and their families

hahah this is such an awesome idea. I hope they do it.

I think the main draft stage will be in Caesars though.

That's not how I've heard it described.

That's how we roll in Vegas baby!!

NFL officially jumps the shark.

The main stage is at the caesars forum right next to the linq

I wonder if each team will get to customize their boat? The Vikings’ pick could make for interesting TV.

Touche o:-)

Dumbest damn thing I’ve seen in a looong time

The actual draft stage is across the street in front of Ceasars Palace.

Same with the Bucs...

I'm interested in how it'll turn out. I'll watch for sure. Vegas knows how to make an impression.

I would have thought Bolles would have no problem holding on to a flotation aid, holding is the one thing he does well.

this draft is going to take ****ing forever.

It's going to take forever to go get guys, stop the boat, let them on, and then go to the stage, and stop, and let them off.

This is dumb.

*well, I mean I guess the next team's on the clock immediately, so whatever.

But it's still dumb.

Um you realize that most of them can't swim right?

Did this article come from The Onion?

LAME

four feet deep . Make them walk thru water in their suits.

The same company owns Caesars, Bellagio, Linq, Bally’s, Flamingo, etc; which happens to be where this will be held.

Holy smokes.

oh! Then I definitely wanna see someone fall off the stage.

This is even more stupid than the Pro Bowl rules.

That guy had a kinda low key scary walk to the stage irl. I thought he was going to drop his newborn.

Did the Bucs have a sex boat scandal too?

Darwin Thompson would have drowned.

they should have just shot them out of a cannon and into a big net.

Well, I have the most to bitch about since its gonna cause havoc in my city. They are closing the strip down for 3 days and hopefully I'll be able to avoid that mess.
Having said that, the visuals are going to be amazing, especially The Fountains at Bellagio.

The entire strip or just that part of it?

R A C I S T

LMAO

I bet some can

Mahomes can probably doggy paddle or back float or something

That was the original plan at CIRCUS CIRCUS before it was moved to The Bellagio

Breaking News: All draft picks will have to wear a life preserver while ferrying to and from the stage. Each boat will be equipped with throw rings in case of a man overboard event. Safety First.

II Tim 3:2
"In the last days for men shall be lovers of their own selves,"

Turning this into a Pageantry.:shake:

Instead of having them put on a hat of the team that picked them, they should just wear a rubber ducky waist preserver of that team;)

Gronk/Kelce would have done that no doubt. :LOL::LOL:

When someone pushes Roger Goodell into the water the draft will suddenly be watchable again

Men have always been lovers of their own selves. Matter of fact, some men even love themselves multiple times per day.

Because he is that ****ing bad ass, that's how, bitch!

Even water parts ways for Patrick Mother ****ing Mahomes!

With the draft in Las Vegas, they should let teams go double or nothing on their picks. Before they make their pick, they have the option of spinning a roulette wheel. If it lands on red they can pick two players, and if it lands on black they lose their pick. If it lands on green they get to kick off from the 40 in their first four games.

Take this with a Grain of salt.

You comparing this to slaves is an insult to slaves.

Unbelievable

Yeah they’re both the same.

The island actually seems like a good idea now. But likely they’ll all be wearing full HazMat gear.

You’re acting like they are gonna be out at sea or on a lake...

The gay day thread is making more sence now
