Good, now the nfl armpit will have another chance to see what real football players look like.
Sad that no one else wants them so they crawl to that ---- hole.
What? no J-E-T-S fans to whine out loud when they hear their pick????
Goodell is just hoping to get some decent pizza.
Aware of this. We're happy. Already looked at flights
Looking forward to replacing Jets fans with Packer & Bear fans. Much better.

May have to drive to Chi-Town to catch the festivities.
ObjectiveBearFan should be excited about all the potential new clientele that will be in the city for the weekend.
Shoeless, please photoshop the number 6 in front of the five.
Definitely planning to go. Boris, any insight on when you can buy tickets/price? Is it a fun experience, or is it just hearing names read off a card after a while?
1) tickets are free. But you have to stand in line.
2) 1st day & 2nd day are most sought after to get in.
3) 3rd day. Very easy to get in. Names read off a card but I personally need to be there from start to finish (round 4-7) to retain my "diehard status".
I have VIP tickets mailed to me every year due to my diehard status so I won't need to stand in line. If they start charging for tickets, I doubt people will show up or very few will. TBH it can be quite boring unless you're truly into the scouting aspect of the draft.
On day 3 we get into the VIP party where we get free food & soda. That's kind of nice. You might be able to pay to get into that, not sure.
Less than 130 of us have diehard status on the planet & I expect to lose a few more in 2015 because about half the diehards (or more) were from NY.
Let me know if you're going

I think it's not as prestigious being held in Chicago.....New York, love it or not, IS where it should be held. JMHO. 
But agree, HATE the J E T S fans also.
Agree Goldie. Wasn't happy with the move out of NY but ok with Chicago. Was really hoping for Green Bay to host.
Will be fantastic not seeing any Jets fans there.

B-E-A-R-S, Bears, Bears, Bears.
They'll make you forget about how much you miss the Jets fans.
The more things change the more they remain the same.
Not a chance. I have ooodles more respect for Bear fans, especially after Sunday. 99% of them were very cool in the face of another loss to green bay.

I don't know any J-E-T-S fans, but I know dozens of bear fans and they're all pretty much like...
(except BND of course)
rainBoris is naive to the real bare fan sample size those that grew up in the midwest know.
They are going to do it again.
Chi. Mayor Rahm Emanuel/NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell have a news conference today. Draft returning to Chicago
