Thread: Do you like watching Preseason games?

If the timing's right then probably, but I ain't sitting up 'til 5am and booking a day off work like I would for SNF/MNF football

Love them, rarely do I miss listening, if not watching the Broncos preseason games.

There is something interesting about watching what is behind the first string and looking for that diamond in the rough. At least for me, it keeps it more interesting than the meaningless outcome.

maybe an analogy for why I love it is in order, let's say you are a man on a deserted island for a few years, and then you are rescued, the first female you see would look pretty good, no matter how haggish.

anything beats watching baseball.

I would much rather watch a good baseball game than a preseason football game.

I don't mind watching other teams as long as I don't have anything going on but I like watching football regardless whether 1st team or 3rd team is playing because I do love the game.

Aug. 16th Broncos vs Cowboys is on NFLN LIVE, so is the Broncos vs Cardinals game. Also, all games will be re-aired on NFLN at some time.

Here's the COMPELTE schedule for ALL of the pre-season games showing on NFLN and when they show.

I thought this one was game 3 get them tuned up for the start of the regular season and then rest them in game 4 let the nicks and bruises heal up.

Something about watching hackney and ramsey play instead of Jay.

Sure some of the games you get to see the 3rd and 4th stringers but unless the world beaks the chances of them seeing meaningful time during a real game are slim and NADA..

Plus they are playing against the other teams scrubs, so you get very little meaningful out of it.. other than it is almost football, it is a total waste of time..

Unless you're at the game or playing, but watching it on tv is .

You just have to have an appreciation for the sport. I used to find it boring too but after spending a year with my HS baseball team keeping the stats for them and just learning more about the game, I can't get enough of it! Heck I watch the Jon Lester no-hitter on my computer over live sporting events sometimes!

Oh yeah. Other than the once a week NASCAR race(which i hardly ever watch anymore) and a occasional golf tourney, there's really nothing else sports wise i like to watch.

The regular season is so short and the off season is sooo long. The pre-season is my quick fix to hold me over till week 1, and not a minute to soon.

SB MVPs are born in the pre-season.

Pre-season games are a lot better than nothing! I watch them - as many as I can.

True, even though it's two teams I couldn't care less about, I'm pretty stoked for the Hall of Fame game tonight just to get a little taste of football.

Luckily my mom loves football so it's not a problem in our house. I can only hope I'm as lucky when I get married!

Same here! Mine as well saw the schedule on the frig and made the statement, "That craps here already"! I was nice and didn't say anything!
