On the third day of the NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tried to liven up the broadcast with a little theatrics. Unfortunately, things did not pan out exactly as many fans were hoping.
A few days into the draft can be a bit boring to watch, even for diehard football fanatics. When it was announced that the Buccaneers would announce this year's fourth-round draft pick using a parrot named Zsa Zsa, fans were left a little confused as to how this would logistically work, but also kind of excited for this strange idea.
Well, Tampa Bay announced their fourth round draft pick on Saturday and viewers were still left a little confused and quite frankly, disappointed. While draft picks were announced, Zsa Zsa (a Catalina Macaw parrot) sat silently on the shoulder of a pirate, who was surrounded by a plethora of other pirates in a pirate ship. The parrot perched while the pirate under the bird announced Tampa Bay's draft pick of Jordan Whitehead from Pittsburgh. Okay, the bird wasn't completely silent: it squawked once, ensuing a bit of laughter from the pirates, but fans were left very upset and naturally took to Twitter to express their rage.
