I had a ticket to the combine and had to turn it down... (1 Viewer)

to take my kids to their school carnival. FML

I love my kids and do a ton with them. This is just poor timing.

That is all.

What would you give to get to go to the combine? What would you want to see there in person?

Honestly it's the type of event that I think is more enjoyable and useful to watch at home on TV or on the computer, so I wouldn't feel too bad. You won't miss anything, you can pause and rewind, etc. You have a better vantage point for the agility/movement drills, the gauntlet, etc. (Which are pretty much the only drills that I think are necessary to actually watch to get a feel for a player amongst his peers in a controlled environment--the track events, the numbers are the important part and don't really need to be watched).

If you're there in person, you're basically at a track and field event filled with amateurs, seems like it would be boring. Unless you have a chance to interact with players/coaches and that's up your alley, I have no idea, I assume they keep the fans in attendance on the other side of the fence, so to speak.

Seeing these freakish athletes putting up crazy measurables from 20 feet away could be cool, maybe I'm wrong. Just seems like for the stuff we're interested in as football fans and fantasy/dynasty owners, being there would just prevent you from having a great vantage point to see what you really want to see.

I'd rather go to the carnival.

FML, seriously dude? Enjoy the time w/ your kids. In the immortal words of Allen Iversion, we're not even talking about the game. We're talking about practice.

Spending time with the kids >> watching men run around in underwear

watching men run around in yoga pants from sept-feb isn't any better.

I've come to find out a little more about what they do. It's catered breakfast and lunch and you get to mingle with the Colts players in attendance. I'd love to be there as it's a perspective not many get. I've already set the DVR for what is televised.

I'll have fun with my kids like I always do. (they don't lack time from their dad)

Maybe next year!
