IMO, the starters are ready to play right now. The exhibition game this week means that starters
will get the most playing time to date.
The final exhibition game means those starters do not get any playing time at all. Wasted time if you ask me.
Greedy owners charging full price for this meaningless games. ITS A CRIME!
Those "greedy" owners don't put a fucking gun to one fan in the stadiums and make em' go to the Preseason games, moron..
Also, I believe most teams/owners throw in the pre season games to fans who bought their seats for the whole season.
you may be wrong
saw a great special HBO did this week about the NFLPA and the Owners
talked about how the Owners are very greedy. each owner was given 250 million dollars via the TV contract
before any tickets or merch was sold.
i'm not advocating that NFL players should make more money or given "longer" guaranteed contracts. no chance.
if you give an NFL player a 8 year/guaranteed deal, who's to say he's going to play hard for the length of his contract.
NFL teams/owners don't have the luxury that MLB or the NBA has when it comes to players contracts.
NFL is a brutal league where nothing is guaranteed and a player could get released anytime of the day.
but i think the exhibition season is a major cash grab for the owners. charging full price to see these games
and some teams are playing 5 exhibition games. the players only need 2 games max to prep for the season.
the rest of the game scheduled are only leading to injuries to star players.
