@Oaktavia:

Dude I'm so ready! Most folks don't watch or seem to care about preseason but I'm all for it!!! RAVENS BABY!

Also F Tom Brady he deflates footballs to win superbowls

Honestly (and I know you jest), the first couple where they were filming walkthroughs and just won on Vinatieri's foot would have been very different games without that cheating–I think the walkthrough filming easily accounts for a TD+PAT advantage if not greater.

Brees should have advanced past the Rams (NFL absolutely rigged the easiest PI call in history cos the league wanted the Rams in--before they were ready, I might add) and I think the Saints would have won.

First two are asterisks, third a hunch. Still one of the greats, but a very lucky one of the greats who cheated.

Yes, my wife is Southern, of course she loves football

I used to be a really,really big fan of Pro Wrestling,and some times I think the NFL refs are guys who couldn’t get jobs in Pro Wrestling. If there was ever any doubt in my mind the invisible Saints PI call sealed it. I don’t know how people bet on this game.

My wife is not as gung ho as I but she likes to watch our games.  It’s hard to get her to watch the other games.  I too love pre season but I’m glad it moved from 4 to 3.  That fourth game was usually garbage.

[Jett129]

Sometimes I think that the Garbage fourth pre-season game now translates to a Garbage First regular season game.Just my opinion. They could have 10 preseason games and the Jets/Giants would still suck!

[Matt]

Cheer up man… I read the other day that RGIII is ready to roll. 

[Jett129]

You made me laugh. Good one!

[Matt]

Every smile counts when you’re a Jets fan.

[Jett129]

You know what JETS stands for…Just End The Season,or if you want to make sure you don’t get Covid,wear a Jets Jersey and you won’t catch anything!

[Oaktavia]

I was pleasantly surprised to learn last night that Ravens preseason kicks off tonight. A game against the Titans no less. Frig those guys!

[Dmart]

Titan up!

Originally Oilers fan.

[Matt]

Best of luck to you @Dmart

I am missing the old battles between Eddie and Ray. Such a great rivalry.
Unfortunately won’t be able to watch the game.

[Matt]

Booo!  It’s an annual ritual for me.  I get excited about the first preseason game.  I force myself to watch the rest.  Then I get excited all over again for the real season opener.

Nice shirt @Matt I realized last night that I don't have any Ravens t-shirts. Kind of surprised myself…I wanted to wear my new Jackson jersey today but it is still awfully hot in MD. Come to think of it, it stays too warm for a jersey for the first few games...I'm going to see if I can find a nice one.

Lamar’s clothing line is cool, Era 8.  Check those out.  Support a small business.
