NFL preseason bites the dust.

If they can't play preseason games, makes you wonder how they think they'll be able to play a 17-week regular season.

I had a 17-week recently and it was fantastic. Preseason should pretty much bite the dust permanently. Two games at most are needed to see the rookies and others trying to make the team can do. The moment I saw Michael Vick break his leg in one I figured there was no reason at all for vets to play in them.

That’s gonna take some hard bargaining from the NFLPA. Those owners love getting full price tickets for two meaningless games.

I agree. A 4-game preseason is way too much. But I don't see the NFLPA agreeing to an 18-game season, or the owners giving up 2 games. At least it's better than it used to be. They used to play a 6-game preseason.

Do they really make that much for those games though? I have no idea. I would assume two regular season games sans Covid nets a lot more than four preseason games.

Ticket prices are the same as for regular season games, and NFL preseason games draw more TV ratings than just about any other sports regular season games do.

65,000 tickets x $100 plus concessions per game. And the $100 per ticket is low end.

And the preseason tickets are included in the season ticket packages, so if you want decent tickets to the 8 regular season games, you’ve got to buy them.

The league is dead to me. Would love to see it fold!
