The preseason is a hot mess of throw up. I realize that's been washed over more than a pair of stone-washed jeans in Saved by the Bell. But tonight's game....ugh, I'm not sure there are words to describe what a colossal waste of time tonight is.

Jerry had better show up at the stadium in a ski mask and black jump suit because this hillbilly is robbing people blind on national television. He's Jeffrey Skilling without the ankle bracelet.

In effect, Dallas' laundry is playing Houston's laundry. This will be a battle of future American Gladiator applicants colliding in front of 15,000 people that bought tickets for $10 from people that paid full regular season price.

And, yes, I'm one of those people forced to pay full price for these monopoly-money tickets. Does my bitterness show?

I watch it for free on TV, so no bitterness here.

Instead, I'm looking forward to seeing how the guys fighting for a roster spot perform.

I want to see if Lucky Whitehead can handle the return position, so we don't have to expose Beasley unnecessarily.

I want to see progress from Weems, Collins and Gibson, so our line has options if someone gets hurt.

I want to see how the depth forms along the defensive line, whether Brinkley is worth keeping at LB and if our young DBs are ready for the playing time they'll receive.

There are things to watch in this game beyond just who wins those last few roster spots. Some of the future of the Cowboys will be on display as well and I'm eager to see who shines.

Sounds like a typical 4th preseason game to me.

We're starting to see some teams charging less for preseason or at least throwing the idea around. It's only a matter of time before all the teams do it. I'm sure JJ will be one of the last hold outs at full price preseason tickets though.

Who is playing QB to start, did Weeden get cleared? I hate it for the bubble WR that can't show anything cause our QBs are so putrid and can't throw a decent pass.

Real classy. Last time I checked nobody was forcing you to watch or anyone else to. Just like nobody is forcing people to buy tickets. You don't like it? Watch the college game.

So you don't want Weeden playing?

Or he will be the first to significantally slash prices (if he sees it as a good business move)

Regardless, I hate preseason as much as anyone but today is just about seeing some fringe players fight for a roster spot. We have about 8 roster spots not entirely settled.

You won't be able to tell any of that because the guys they're playing against are about to get cut.

This is basically an organized walk through.

Actually, two dumb Texans fans (I'm assuming) bought my upstairs tickets. I can only sell them for face value on the exchange.

The club seats...no chance I can sell those. I donated them to Jerry's foundation.

Eight? I think maybe 2.

I think that a combination of cutting preseason ticket prices and not forcing season ticket holders into buying them would probably see some increase in attendance. Up here in Green Bay, pre-season is about the only affordable way a non-season ticket holder can get in a game at Lambeau, but you still need to go thru the trouble of buying your tickets thru the season ticket holders or what ever ticket broker they sold their tickets to. It would be nice for the average Joe to be able to buy the preseason tickets directly from the Packers ahead of time or walk-up.

If you can afford to buy season tickets, your problems make my problems look like a hillbilly in a ski mask!!!

My guess is they reduce the preseason games by half, then work it into the regular season prices. I'm cynical like that.

My complaint is, I don't have a choice to buy them or not as a season-ticket holder.

I was just trying to rile you a little more...I'm in Missouri so I couldn't get there anyways.:)
BTW, kudos for your charitable work!
