One Thing No One Is Talking About Regarding Last Night's Game

A lot of talking points are going around after last night's game. But the one thing that no one is talking about is how irresponsible it is for the NFL to let fans view preseason games. Yes, it's live football. But it's not football intended for fan consumption. Fans don't know how to process what they are seeing. Look at the results of last night's game. The NFL has worked this unassuming message board into an absolute friendzy. We have panic posting being labeled as, "I'm not panicking." We're fantasizing about 2024 draft pics being cut. And over in Chicago? My goodness, what a fever they've been whipped into over in the windy city after Caleb Williams stepped up into that beautiful pocket play after play while Landon Jackson tried his best to not move like a figurine on a slot-hockey machine, and Caleb floated perfect grapefruit after perfect grapefruit over the head of UDFA Walk-On Player Joe Andreesen. It's unfair and downright cruel to those fans to dangle that carrot in front of their eyes. And all because the NFL had to flip on a few cameras and Fox Sports was like, "yeah, we'll show your little football practice because no one is watching baseball anymore." The NFL has gone too far. They say they care about the fans but it's things like this that show they don't give a damn about us. Because if the NFL truly cared about its fans, they wouldn't expose us to preseason football and then leave us on our own to interpret it. Shame on you, NFL. Televising preseason football is irresponsible. 

File under: Satire. 

I'm sure they had $$$Millions of reason why they wanted to air pre season games not to mention the money generated by the fans that actually bought tickets to go see it live . 

 

This is a every year thing since before you were born so take it with a grain of salt and the old saying life in general isn't fair and get over it ... Because they will still be playing pre season games long after were gone and fans will be reacting to every move .

Missing out on 5 hours of pure nut scratching, seed spitting, occasional action! 

 

They called about having our son play All-Stars when he was about 9-10. They promised him second base and lead off hitter. I told them I would ask and his response was “do I have to? Half the guys are standing around, and the other half are just SITTING.” From the mouths of babes. He went on to play everything else.

Gee, I thought it was the up swelling of positive energy,

As long as ticket sale are included in season tickets,, it's not going anywhere.   Right now too with 9/8 regular season home game schedule the extra home game for the conference that year with only 8 balances things out

Guys. Satire. Don’t quote me with your serious responses as to why preseason isn’t going away. Thanks.

Last night's bills/Bears game probably had better ratings than the ufl championship game. Pre season is gonna pre season

The true NFL crime is the preseason ticket prices, and making season tickets holders pay it.

Hey leave baseball out of this.  Plenty of people are watching it and the next 35 days in the run to the end of the season is going to be awesome.  There are as many or more great young players in mlb than the nfl.   There was only one baseball game on last night and it too was pretty great with the mariners and mets playing in williamsport.

 

if you are not watching mlb you are missing out.

Zzzzzzzzzzz!   😴
