The NFL makes no money from me watching Preseason games (seeing as there is no way to legally watch Preseason games in the UK) and so i'll gladly be watching them.

The funny part is I missed nothing. No real games have been missed yet (The HOF game is not "real.") Telling me for weeks how close it was kinda ticked me off. If instead of making $1,000, They only make $999 then that may be diddly, but not keeping the dollar, as a certain "esteemed" person suggests, is worse.

Heck, it even aligns me with the guys who ticked me off.

I hate to say it, but coverage of pre-season games is always bad and you won't miss anything important.

Using Solder as an example but not reflecting on him as a player: One of two things happens.

A) He dominates. Then one wonders if he is facing guys that will work for UPS in a month.

B) He gets Hoyer (or whomever) killed. (Well, hyperbole-y speaking.) Then one wonders if that defender in the backfield is his man, or did the guard screw up. If you can tell, was it a missed assignment or was he just overpowered.

That is assuming they cut to play on the field instead of Brady on the sidelines talking to Welker.

July 22nd has past, looks like no pre-season for you.

I, on the otherhand will scurry to my TV for any game.

Boycotting the preseason is like a Fat dude fasting and skipping breakfast one morning.
