    Simmons doesn't like the Boston pick at all:

    Why aren't you guys watching the Vertical? Shouldn't the complaint be with ESPN tape delaying the picks?

    What does "watching the Vertical" mean. Are they streaming? I assumed they are just tweets because he gets word when sterling does. Is Sterling really on tape delay.

    anyhoot: no biggie. Just thought the NFL draft threads established a policy for spoilering early tweets.
