Who has a more impressive not-taking-a-bathroom-break streak: Scott Hanson or Mel Kiper?

Live television can be wild and chaotic, and for certain shows, a bathroom break isn’t easy to come by.

I bring this up because Mel Kiper revealed this week that in the 35 years he’s covered the NFL Draft for ESPN, he has NOT ONCE gone to use the facilities during the first round!!

Think about that for a second: If there are 10 minutes between picks, plus all those times the broadcast has to sync up with the pick being made, as well as the minutes before and after … that’s a long time to wait, around four hours.

That’s some serious commitment:

How does that compare to NFL Network’s Scott Hanson, who gets asked all the time about when he gets a bathroom break during the seven hours he’s on NFL RedZone and had a FOUR YEAR STREAK going before it ended in 2017.

The question is: Which one is more impressive? I’ve got Hanson in this one, but I leave it up to you.
