but having it on in the background is great.

its so great you put it on the background...or its so awful you cant really watch it?

Lolz. Preseason football is by and large, awful to watch. I'll suffer through the 2nd half of an Eagles game only be ause I'm interested in seeing whether or not a bunch of 7th round picks and udfa's can come play better than some other teams 3rd stringers.

But when it comes to a non Eagles preseason game, count me out once the starters leave the field.  Even with the starters in it's still boring and vanilla but I'll still watch. But once the starters hit the sideline, I'm probably changing the channel. Or leave it on as background noise while I find something else to do.

So do you suffer and watch or probably change the channel?

peoples argument for preseason football is always well its just nice to have football back...forget the fact that that isnt exactly a ringing endoresement i never understood it because the minute preseason football starts it just makes me want to see regular season football that much more not make he happy that preseason has started

its unwatchable garbage and both the owner of the eagles and the comissioner of the league has said as much over the last month...if it was so great they would be adding two preseason games not taking them away

Usually both. But sometimes neither.

Preseason football is just like a conversation with IGY. You know you'll see some really stupid shtein, but it beats spending time with your family.

You like to prop yourself up as the biggest sports fan in the worlds (or at least top five)

The top 5 worlds? That's a lot of farging sports. That's including "Ixdong-mach-two" on planet "Stratos .4-bar" You know how many people watch that alone...during the offseason?

I'll watch the starters and maybe keep it on in the background after that. If you're looking for an argument that preseason football is awesome, you won't find it here. What I'm saying is that after the offseason, it's nice to have football, and the promise of actual games, on TV. It's certainly not must-watch material.

[Zanshin]

I know. Same answer applies. I'm an Eagles fan, but I'm also a football fan.

[Diomedes]

[Zanshin]

You like Crosby?

[Diomedes]

I like Lisa Bonet.  Close enough?

[ice grillin you]

I'm also a football fan.

pretty sure we all are

[Zanshin]

Not really. Some people are interested in football only insomuch that the Eagles are involved.
