Ridiculous is as ridiculous does.Silly or ridiculous?

The year 2021 seems to have gone faster than usual.August seems a lot closer than it used to this time of year. Slow it down please
I was thinking about texas stadium, and it was a joke, the worst stadium ever built.Against a bunch of other bubble players, what do they learn? How well a player does against another player destined for Home Depot?
I do agree that the coaches have a plan on what they're using them for but they all know what they're seeing isn't real.
I am still not over being forced to buy two pretend games at full price in August in Texas Stadium when I had season tickets. That last year I couldn't give them away and my wife wouldn't go to game until October. The old TS was among the worst places I ever watched a football game in Aug/Sept, it was stifling. I hoped they start serving beans so at least some farts would create some wind. And a day game to open the season when the sun hits was what I picture home games in Hell are like.
yeah but you would have to change it to thisYeah, sure would. You could wear it every year while Jerry is here.
It could be challenging because the entire Houston team will be sore from their first game… Lord knows that team won’t be letting any players get massages.So the "dress rehearsal" is against arguably the worst team in the league? Let the hype train begin....
NFL Preseason….the most overrated, low quality, boring games in team sports. The ONLY reason we still have them is because the owners want to keep them for these reasons:
In reality, preseason games are unnecessary and have been for many years. Here are some reasons why we should get rid of them:
- They can charge suckers full price to mostly watch guys that will never amount to anything in the NFL.
- Builds fan hype for the upcoming season.
- Coaches say they (not all) like having the extra time to make roster decisions.
Preseason games are a business decision not a football decision. A lot of fans love them because we are all starved for football now. But I don’t really take much of what happens between OTAs and the first real game in Sept that serious.
- Veteran Players hate them because of the injury risks in games that are literally meaningless. PS games used to be in place partly as a way to help players get back in football shape. Not necessary today.
- Coaches never reveal much of anything about their offensive or defensive schemes in these meaningless games.
- Roster decisions can be made by coaches without these half speed contests. College football does it all the time. They don’t have ps games.
Most of that stuff is hype until the real bullets start flying in real games.

Jip I certainly agree with you about the WNBA and MLB. I would rather watch a tortoise race than either of those. But that doesn’t mean I like NFL ps games either, LOL.Not as boring as the wnba, or watching the two worst teams in baseball play in early September after both are eliminated...just saying....there are quite a few other sports situations that are actually much more boring.
Now...I know how much you hate the preseason so you might not want to publicly admit it...but I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you would rather watch the cowboys vs the steelers in a preseason game than the Pittsburgh pirates vs the NY Mets in an early September "slugfest"
Preseason sucks but still many worse sporting events...

Two of my sons played high school basketball and as a supportive dad, I went to all their games- even the preseason “practice games” and AAU off season games. But I would be lying if I said I liked those contests. They were not only boring, they were usually just a showcase for individual players, not any kind of team thing. That’s kind of how I feel about ps games.

The road to 6 starts on August 5th.
Man that'd be a sweet t-shirt too.
“I Wentz to Philly… and all I got was this stupid shirt and zero playoff wins”?Not feeling it. The T-shirt slogan I mean. Maybe if it had something about Wentz on there.
