Yeah this was the best news of the night. A lot of draft “experts” have been pushing to replace Skattebo with Love. Gee, I wonder why?Cardinals take this year's "generational talent" RB, great news for Skattebo!
In the USMC early 80s we had a SSGT Poly from Hawaii and that was the last place he wanted to be stationed. When we asked he said bluntly his idiot relatives and "friends" would drag him back into the stupidity and there would go his pension and benniesSalt Lake City and So Cal both have Poly gangbangers.
I didn't watch any of the draft on tv, so I missed the crowd shots that you reference. I was able to find this image today that shows what I assume is the "Draft Theatre Viewing" area near Heinz Field. I couldn't however find any shots of Point State Park during the draft, just more stuff from the day with DWFs milling about. I'm sure this 320,000 is a huge lie, however I'm wondering if it was a little more than what is shown here? Are there alot of DWFs who decide to pack into downtown area bars, instead of crowding like cattle into this big "parking lot" where its probably harder to get their booze and deep fried food? I would imagine they are counted somehow to come up with this mythical number that the NFL propagandists can now parade about.Scrolling down some of the replies to that X post it appears just a couple didn't mindlessly accept the announced figure. When the crowd was shown from a distance many times last night and you could see the football stadium and even the baseball stadium nearby it was obvious how much smaller than that the crowd was. I'd say about 15,000 or roughly enough to fill about a fourth to a fifth of Heinz Field, yet we're supposed to believe that small area held enough to fill it five times over.


Goodell immediately announced as the draft started, "There are over 300,000 here." To get an accurate figure, there would have to be tickets sold and collected as a data point.
As far as the nearby areas, there's always a lot of people in what's called the North Shore, and there's also a large casino just beyond Heinz Field (it's latest corporate name is Acrisure Stadium). It's a popular food and entertainment area and the NFL would have no way of knowing how many people in those establishments last night were regulars or were NFL DWFs who decided to hang out there instead of going to the venue. And why would out of towners go to the expense of traveling to Pittsburgh only to not watch the draft in person? Given the congestion getting into and out of the draft venue, a lot of Pittsburghers undoubtedly stayed away altogether given the traffic headaches and very tight security precautions. The downtown area, which is actually compact and on the small side, was basically shut down to vehicle traffic. Attendees from the suburbs had to either take buses or Uber/Lyft and I doubt many Uber and Lyft drivers wanted to mess with getting in and out of the area. If anything there was probably a lot fewer people in the surrounding entertainment area than usual.
The only people I talked to who said they were going were a few young people. It's not an event someone middle aged and older would be interested in unless they were truly a hard-core DWF.
One of the few non-braindead responses to the tweet Leonardfan posted above is this one, and even that one is generous regarding the likely actual crowd size (and the response immediately below it is pure bs, talking about people watching in the football stadium and milling around the riverbank; I didn't see anyone in Heinz Field when they showed it):
The NFL Draft is a microcosm of two common phenomena. The first is to always periodically promote anything and everything as "new and improved." Having set a precedent years ago of totally ******** crowd totals, Goodell can hardly announce at next year's event, "The NFL thanks the 15,000 fans here to watch this great annual event." As long as the league continues to fill up venues that hold 15,000 or so, the announced crowd of 300,000 or 400,000 has to at least stay the same and more likely keep creeping up as DWFs gulp it up as easily as they believe everything else.Don, you are a wealth of knowledge!
I just can't help but laugh that people believe that the entire populations of cities like Orlando or Cincinnati or Pittsburgh itself basically can fit into 2 or 3 areas that would each fit maybe a medium sized concert or small festival. LOL.
Second and third round mock

2026 NFL Draft, Day 2 mock: Denzel Boston leads off Round 2; Cardinals stop Jermod McCoy's slide
With Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, Lance Zierlein projects how Rounds 2 and 3 will play out. Who comes off the board first on Friday night? Which team stops Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy's slide? Check out the full Day 2 projection, 33 to 100.www.nfl.com
Looks like it could be a poor night early
2 whites projected in round 2 - Jacob Rodriguez LB Texas Tech and Jake Golday LB Cincinnati
10 whites projected round 3
Which would give us 19 from 100 just below 20 percent....very consistent
Awesome post! Has the makings of a really interesting substack article.The NFL Draft is a microcosm of two common phenomena.

Very little is actually genuinely "new" and "improving" in this rotting empire. Movies and TV shows just rehash the same old scripts and discredited agendas over and over with "new and improved" CGI and ever fewer White men, while products are shrunk in size while costing more and advertisements exclaim that they're better than before.
Something else I've noticed for a long time is how film footage from the past is usually grainy or otherwise obviously "looks old," even footage as recent as from a decade or so ago. But some, such as the re-showing of Super Bowl III for example, is still as sharp as the day it aired. Are you telling me there still isn't any way to archive film footage that keeps its original quality or something close to it? The subliminal message seems to be, this is old looking and thus inferior to what we have today.
About the only thing that's actually "new and improved" is the technology being used to corral us and enslave us.
The other phenomenon on display is the Big Lie technique, which can often be a Small Lie. Americans are so naive that they never think twice when they're told there's 320,000 people gathered in a small confined area when right next door is a football stadium that can hold many times the amount of people being shown.
It's no different when it comes to sports, where we've been informed every year for decades that today's athletes are "bigger, stronger and faster" than previous ones. If that's true, by now we should have football players running 2.0 40 times, effortlessly performing 100 bench presses at the Combine, and leaping over tall buildings in a single bound.
Yet I don't doubt that Vince Lombardi's mostly White Packers from the 1960s could more than hold their own against teams in today's DEI driven NFL.
There's a reason why more and more people refer to the U.S. as the Empire of Lies.
I'll be writing one about the Draft, probably on Monday and will definitely include that post in it among other material from this thread.Awesome post! Has the makings of a really interesting substack article.
Good pick for them.Dolphins take Jacob Rodriguez, an "honorary White man" type.
