So it was a quiet but fun night for us beat writers down in the belly of Twin Cities Orthopedic Performance Center. Us beat writers enjoyed the new digs while bemoaning the fact that none of the TV’s in our room had a working sound system (we had four on the draft, one on the Celtics/Bucs game and one on the hockey games).
Then, after hours of reading Twitter and spoiling picks for each other, the Vikings were finally on the clock and Commissioner Goodell read out Minnesota’s newest draft pick.
That sent us into a frenzy of typing that was only broken by someone with the Vikings letting us know Rick and Zim would be arriving soon.
