Any automatic text notifications for draft? (1 Viewer)

[laxiepoo]

So we're heading out golfing, drinking, and to the padres game saturday. I'm looking for somewhere that'll send automated text messages with every pick. Haven't found anything on NFL.com yet, but maybe sportsline has something.

Any ideas? (Other than Stay Home, get an iPhone, be a real draft fan, etc =)

Once you register, look for My Alerts, then at the top-right under Special Events is NFL Draft. Bingo!

THanks! Enjoy!

wow this is really customizable

you can pick by nfl team or college team or certain rounds and then you can limit that to only between certain times of the day

excellent

Just got my first alert: The Miami Dolphins select Jake Long, OT, Michigan, 0th Rd, 2nd Pick (2 OVR)

I don't think he was worth a 0th round pick. 1st maybe...

You mean people don't sit and watch the whole thing?

My wife wanted to take me out to dinner to celebrate an achievement at work:How about tonight? No, I want to clean the house and then relax. Let's do it tomorrow night.You kidding? Tomorrow is the NFL draft!!

I have been using the ESPN alerts for a number of sports for a couple months......... it's been pretty good so far.

Most of the time it is up to speed ..... sometimes it does lag though.

I expect it to work well for the draft ... since it is a slow moving process.

Found this on their site when I went to cancel the alerts...

ESPN is experiencing technical difficulties that are delaying message delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
