Mmm...I had completely forgotten about that. Which I guess is your point.While obviously this is serious and should be dealt with appropriately, the build up to the report vs what came out reminds me of the DK thing a few years ago by deadspin.

This feels more like a wait-for-the-other-shoe-will-drop situation to me. Like, this is only the first of a series of stories.So it sounds like all of the sensational stuff was either complete speculation, or at the very least not considered proven by WaPo. The story that's out isn't great, but it doesn't move the needle like "Gruden/Snyder cocaine sex parties" for me. Pretty garden-variety shitty sexual harassment stuff.

When I was a kid there were like 6 preseason games.
Preseason is stupid. These guys play through Mites, Pee Wees, JV, Varsity, and college ball never playing a preseason. Then all of a sudden, they become professionals with the best and most accomplished coaches and talent evaluators in the sport, and they can't tell who can play without four throwaway 'games'? I'm all for the odd intersquad scrimmage with another team during camp for some dissimilar training, but that's about it.

i think there's value in a couple preseason games for the fringe roster/UDFA types to see what you've really got. For starters and guys clearly on the team? Clearly not so much as evidenced by the limited time they play during preseason now.

It's money, same reason why Spring Training is two months long.

Part of what bugs me so much about it is the farce of paying $x for the privilege of seeing perhaps 50 people play their last football game. Meanwhile, the $100 million HOF quarterback takes six snaps and calls it a day. It just bugs me.
