Scouting combine
The NFL Scouting combine in Indianapolis begins Thursday and runs through Feb. 28.
NFL Network has exclusive live coverage with live shows Thursday and Friday at 11 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Weekend coverage will include live shows at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Monday's live shows are at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
There is one live show next Tuesday at 8 a.m. and a wrap-up show on Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 5 p.m.
Shows will be repeated for all you worker-bees like me. ....
Here's hoping the NFL 24/7 network (that also gives us cheerleader skills contests -- ugh!) replays the bulk of the combine coverage in the days leading to April's draft. I don't recall NFLN using that resource very well last year.
I also recall too many non-productive interviews, lame commentator babble and not enough footage of the action. Watching guys throw and run 40s and participate in football-related skills is of tremendous interest to the general (OK, obsessed -- but who else is really watching this stuff?) viewer.
Check back for more throughout the combine.
