<![CDATA[Care For A Little More Suspense?]]>"The NFL really wants to keep the suspense alive during the draft this season.
 
On the heels of the announcement that there will no longer be camera shots of players on the phone with teams in the green room just before they are picked and hints that analysts on the networks covering the event will not report picks before they are announced comes word that the league is reminding teams to keep the wraps on things. Darren Rovell of CNBC reports that the league recently reminded teams to withhold announcements of their picks via any medium before they are officially made on the stage at Radio City Music Hall."

After all, this is a "TV Show", and if you give away the suspense of the announcement you are taking away from the drama of your entertainment product.

I mean, in the old days...I am talking 60s and 70s, the draft took place in private and the selections were announced all at one time.

If they want to sell beer, cars, deodorant and male enhancement products they need to keep the suspense of the show intact.
