Draft Picks are treated as currency in the NFL, so you can, if you wish, trade picks to move up or down the draft order. You can also use them to trade for other teams players, but it's fairly simple still. If I want Tom Brady, I have to give up my first round pick for the next 3 years. The Patriots can bank those picks, and wherever it's my pick in those years, the Pats just make the pick for themselves.

People who post pictures of their babies every week and adding #1weekold, #2weeksold etc.

Latest was #5weeksold.

I know they're excited, but really..
To quote Sergeant Gerry Boyle:

I don't want to see it. Babies all look the same. The only time a baby doesn't look like every other baby is when it's a really ugly baby. So unless you're about to show me a photo of a really ugly baby then I don't want to see it.

Liverpool's defence and defensive organisation.
As well as what AZ said, that really annoys me.
The NFL Draft. I haven't a clue how it works.

The NFL Draft is simplicity itself. What's complicated about that? The team with the worst record the previous year gets the first pick in each round, and the team that won the previous superbowl gets the last pick each round.

Brilliant system
Soccer should adopt something similar

European soccer? Not physically possible. Major League Soccer might be able to manage it.

Ah, I see.
Thanks for that.

People still referring to Adobe Analytics as "Omniture." It hasn't been called Omniture for years. Christ!

People being annoyed about things I didn't even know were things.

Is it just me or does Marian Finucane heavily breathe and wheeze into the microphone like a 60-a-day smoker when her guests are speaking?

Hardy

She does  and she is. But  she's permanent and pensionable so no matter how bad it gets she's there until retirement.

There was a lad there before, Cathal McGoilla maybe? He was brutal. I had to turn over. I hate that.

Nearly everything on Facebook, especially wishing dead relatives a happy birthday.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
