NFL Draft 2012 Live Stream: Broadcasting Draft Online Is Brilliant Move for NFL

Unless you're like me and you plan to huddle by the television with multiple computers set to Twitter and other NFL rumor sites during tonight's NFL draft, you probably have a life. You might even have somewhere else you need to be or some sort of responsibility to deal with this evening.

But if you're like me and the NFL draft is one of your favorite events of the year, you don't want to miss a single pick if you don't have to.

Luckily for you, you don't need to miss anything. You can stream the draft on your computer via NFL.com—a fantastic move by the league that ensures fans don't need to miss a thing during tonight's sure-to-be hectic first round.

This gives me options. Now, if I want, I can still catch Parks and Recreation and Community while simultaneously watching the draft online. Or maybe I'll catch some baseball or Stanley Cup action while the draft streams on my computer.

And hey, if the wife or girlfriend—or anyone else in the household—wants to watch something on the television, football fans need not fight. Sacrifice the television, you addicts, and gather 'round your computers.

See, the NFL is keeping households united on Thursday night—they're doing this country a great service.

And hey, if you aren't into the whole Chris Berman and Mel Kiper Jr. thing on ESPN, there's no need to be enslaved to the Worldwide Leader's coverage.

You have options, folks.

So gather your chicken wings and laptops alike, and get ready for some NFL draft action. May you all have a wonderful football holiday.

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