The NFL is cutting the time between picks in the first and second rounds of the NFL draft. I love this idea. I am kind of surprised that they are doing this since the draft is such a ratings behemoth and the NFL isn’t one to normally turn down ad revenues by making sanctioned events shorter. The first round of the draft shouldn’t be four hours long as it has been in recent years and I will be interested to see if this change sticks.

ABC is picking up Pushing Daisies for a full season. My hope is that they would pick it up under the condition that they drop the terrible, soul-sucking voiceover that makes me want to kill myself when I watch the show (which I love, by the way) but I’ll take a full season regardless. I am not sure about the long-term future of the show. The premise is limiting and if the show serves two full seasons, I think that’s a great life for it.
