brilliant. if something's working just fine badell's "needs breaking" sense goes all a-tingley and he must do SOMETHING!
Another reason for my wife to hate me.
Thanks an effin lot, Rog!
I guess the commissioner feels that Mothers aren't important.
Who knew that Roger was trying to define the truth for all of us? What a great man! A man with his vision will demonstrate how Mother's Day and Father's Day are scams for the telecom, flower, and necktie industries (and coincidentally not his). This is his defining moment of principle! Or maybe since NASCAR doesn't run on Mother's day weekend he is grabbing that last $0.56 on the table.
Mothers are overrated.
Works for me, the old draft days always conflicted with the Laughlin River Run. Now I don't have to decide if I would rather watch the draft or watch inebriated, scantily clad biker women.
That's not a decision, that's a lifestyle choice 
Thought I heard there was a Radio City Music Hall scheduling conflict.
If so, Rog needed to move it somewhere else...another location in NYC, or God forbid, to Chicago or LA.

The scheduling conflict is a ruse, the real reason is the same reason the NFL does everything. $$$. Moving their prime time extravaganza into May ratings sweeps = more cash for the networks
For example: The NFL is currently laying out plans for the 2018 Super Bowl, quite certain they knew about Easter of 2013 years ago... so no sale on that little fib. Even Peter King called them out on it in his MMQB
The networks get what the networks want and the NFL owners are only too happy to oblige. The football guys are pushing back, but money talks the loudest

How many things does this idiot need to change? I can't stand him. What is wrong with having it in April like it has been forever? It seems to me that everything the NFL was before he got there, isn't good enough for him. He is trying to make it HIS league even though he is pissing off the players and fans who make this league. F-him!

Obviously, the commish thinks that when all those NY area fanboys emerge from all their mom's basements to slog over to Radio City next year they should, you know, bring mom along for once.
This seems completely unnecessary, but I suppose giving Ted and his staff 3 extra weeks won't be the worst thing in the world.
Never realized so many guys celebrated Mothers Day Thursday thru Sunday....

It was just something to look forward to. Now we have to wait another three weeks. It is now right in the middle of fishing season for me and it looks like I won't be seeing much of the draft anymore.
Viewership in Minnesota likely to go down as the Mother's Day weekend is the walleye fishing opener. When the state changed the opener to Mother's Day it received a lot of criticism, and now the NFL only adds to it. Obviously, moms get no respect. Flower shops will probably do well as guys send love/miss-you messages from afar.

And considering the draft will be over on Saturday...

I think you are onto something. We should just move all special days to mother's day - celebrate it all at once. Then the rest of the summer will be quiet(er). And if all that stuff occurs on one date, I will still choose the NFL draft.

While all of that is true, I take a trip to NY every year.
Moving it to Mom's day weekend really sucks for me
Can't Goodell find a venue in Europe that's available for the same April dates?

Don't sell yourself short, BK.
You're quite the 'mother'!
Damn straight.
It also pisses me off that the US Open final round is on father's day. Also, what's up with NFL games always scheduled on Thanksgiving? So angry!!!
