The NFL Draft is a fun event to watch, but it's also long and arduous. You've got to be a real football nerd to enjoy it. Accordingly, it's always appreciated when teams do something unusual to spice it up.

The latest interesting idea: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will use a parrot to announce their picks in this year's draft. That's right—a parrot. Her name is Zsa Zsa. Don't ask us how to pronounce that. The bird will deliver the picks to an announcer at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.

Naturally, fans had three different reactions: either, This is stupidThis is awesome, or Of course the Bucs would do this.

The draft will kick off Thursday at 8 p.m. EST, with coverage on FOX, ESPN, and NFL Network.
