The former Colorado quarterback, son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was selected by the Cleveland Browns at 144th overall Saturday in the fifth round of the NFL draft.

Clearly, NFL franchises were unconvinced of that, and Sanders went undrafted through the first two days of selections.

It has got to drive competing leagues crazy that something so mundane as the NFL talking about its slate of games attracts more attention than, say, the NBA playoffs.

The Rams select running back Jarquez Hunter in the NFL draft with the 117th pick, sending two picks to the Colts to move up in the fourth round.

Obviously, only a minuscule fraction of those possibilities get a deep dive, but the NFL has 5,000 computers running 24/7 around the world to find the optimal configuration of 272 games, 18 weeks, five game days — everything but Tuesday and Wednesday — and 10 media partners — or 11, if YouTube jumps into the mix.
