Mel Kiper Jr. had an astonishing reaction to trends during the NFL design

1. In the traina thoughts on Monday I defended Mel Kiper Jr.s NFL Draft performance. The fans were outraged that Kiper spent the entire design with scolding massive drops about Shedur Sander to choose No. 144. My readers were outraged that I defended Kiper against the outrage.

So how, Kiper's reaction to the trend during the day, Friday and Saturday?

Well, he didn't know that he was trendy.

To The Adam Schefter -PodcastSchefter asked Kiper if “the noise” and “criticism” disturbed him.

“I didn't even know about Adam,” said Kiper. “[ESPN vice president of production] Seth Markman comes in and says: “Mel, you are tended on Twitter.” I don't know what you said. I have to believe that it wasn't nice. I didn't read any of them. But I was told that I was about the writer Sander. “

What I love about this revelation of Kiper is that it highlights something that we all regularly forget: there are two different worlds out there. There is the world of social media and then there is the real world.

While Kiper was constantly talking about Sanders, he was the fact that he all prompted to be completely recorded on social media.

2. “This could be the worst game I've ever seen.” That was Ernie Johnson von TNT, who is not for hyperbole in the halftime of the Cleveland Cavaliers -Miami Heat game on Monday, where Cleveland led 72-33.

3. ESPN/ABC enjoys strong reviews for the opening round of the NBA playoffs. In 11 games in the two networks, ESPN/ABC is an average of 4.4 million viewers, by 13% compared to last season.

The Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday – Minnesota Timberwolves play attracted 7.3 million viewers to increase 32% compared to the comparable window of last year.

Unfortunately, ESPN/ABC looks like they are no longer relying on the Lakers to get strong reviews.

4. It is TMZ, so who knows what is true and what is not, but I personally believe that every single word of this very damn report about Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson's behavior during his interview last weekend CBS Sunday morning. Seeing all of this with Belichick is only surreal.

In the meantime, the 24-year-old places out here to publish nonsensical emails from Belichick, which simply make him appear completely untouched.

5. Philadelphia On Monday, Eagles Cornerback CJ Gardner-Johnson gave the most assignable explanation for the fact that he had not participated in the White House in the visit of his team.

“Yo, why wasn't I in the White House,” said Gardner-Johnson live on Instagram and replied to someone in chat. “Because I got fat.”

“If one of them asked that I got fat in the cot. … this is the real reason. I didn't want to go to the White House because I didn't put on this tight suit and my F-ing up here and S -……..

Unfortunately I know this feeling so well.
