It is the sporting event of the month. The NFL draft began this past virtual morning due to the crisis caused by the Covid-19, and it was everything the fans expected it to be.

From their homes, mansions, and ships, the league's franchise owners and coaches screened the young stars who completed the first round. All through videoconference with the organization of the competition, which was connecting one by one with the addresses of the team leaders.

So far, it might seem simple. "Good afternoon, we selected ..." would be an easy connection, with no altercations or circumstances to point out. Well no, it wasn't quite like that.

The night began, of course, with the American anthem. From home, yes.

The first player chosen was Joe Burrow , quarterback at Louisiana State University (LSU) and winner of the Heisman Trophy for best player of the year. The young man is now a member of the Cincinnati Bengals . The most predictable selection. Roger Goodell announced it from his living room, without shrillness, and the young man received the news on the sofa at home with his parents. Everything is correct here.

From the first selection, surrealism, and not precisely in the houses of the young people, most surrounded by their relatives, but in that of the owners.

Jerry Jones, a billionaire and Dallas Cowboys owner, decided to spend the night of the draft in one of the salons of his giant yacht , valued at $ 250 million.

The Arizona Cardinals showed us the ' War Room ' of their coach, Kliff Kingsbury. Envy of mansion, we are not going to deceive ourselves.

When you win a Super Bowl you can afford absolutely everything , so we can come to understand the Hawaiian shirt of Andy Reid , coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, current champions. There was neither super mansion (at least in sight), nor great shrillness.

Nor did Bill Belichick , the eternal coach of the New England Patriots, immersed in a very important draft for the franchise after the exits of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, did not want to show off.

Now let's go to one of the important moments of the night: What the hell was going on at the home of Titans coach Mike Vrabel? His three children surround him, one of them dressed in some kind of costume ... And in the background, through a mirror, at the end of the video you see someone sitting in what we hope is not a toilet ...

There was also time for tributes, such as that of Doug Marrone, coach of the Jaguars, to the health personnel who fight against the epidemic; for the family, such as Jason Licht, manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaners; and for pets, like Gruden, coach of the Raiders.

And finally, the dance that everyone and nobody wanted to see: Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, and Jerry Jeudy , receiver selected by the Denver Broncos.
