NFL Draft 2012 Live Stream: Real Fans Have No Excuse for Missing Draft

So you call yourself a hardcore NFL fan, huh? You've got your own versions of mock drafts, you know how much Stephen Hill weighs to an ounce and you've prepared multiple contingency plans for your favorite team depending on how the board shapes up.

But something has come up. Your girlfriend won't budge on Thursday movie night, and you're already on thin ice because you've been neglecting here while you study the team needs for the entirety of the NFL. You have to work a late shift. You've been seriously injured and are in the hospital.

Normally, these would be barriers that could prevent you from watching the draft.

But no more.

Technology allows you to surpass such barriers now, and as a fan, you have no excuse for missing the draft.

Wanna stream the draft while the old lady watches a movie, while you're stuck in the office or while Jan the old lady who needs a hip replacement chats you up about her granddaughter Clarisa from the other hospital bed in your room?

Just go over to NFL.com and breathe easy, you draft junkie. You're covered in the mobile department, too.

I don't know what it is about the NFL draft, but it's one of my favorite sporting events of the year, and nobody is even playing anything. I love trying to predict what teams will do, who will be a good fit for each squad, what players will be a bust and which sleepers will blow up.

In a strange sense, the NFL draft is almost how I begin preparing for the beginning of the next season. By the time the draft hits, I have a pretty good understanding of each team's roster and what their expectations should be heading into the season.

The draft is like a crash course in NFL knowledge. It's awesome.

And I don't plan on missing it, even if the real world demands I do something else during those times. Thank goodness for smart phones, and thank goodness for live streams.

Now go give your girlfriend some attention, you draft nerd. 

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets always hit the spot, like Philip Humber.
