Is there anything more boring than NFL Pre-Season.

That would be network daytime TV, and network nighttime TV.

Once a week, except for bye-week, I am laid up with guacamole and a Corona.

The NFL to me is basically worthless.
The only time in the season that I may watch any NFL game, .... might be on Thanksgiving Day at my relatives house, and it better be the Detroit Lions game. Other than that .....Forget the NFL. I’d rather wash and detail my F-series truck.

ESPN Drones slobberingly pontificating about politics instead of illuminating whatever sporting event they are distracting from rather than covering.
That is more boring, but they have a flavor for every sport now.

LOL. I think it’s funny, that years ago, these were called exhibition games.
Then the NFL decided they didn’t like the implication that the exhibition games weren’t important or didn’t count.
So they renamed them as preseason games, to give some more importance to them.
But they are still exhibition games, still don’t count in the standings.

I’m rewarding their good behavior in not hiring the Kapster by increasing my NFL viewing. < /sarc >

The real crime is forcing people to buy Exhibition Game tickets as part of the Season Ticket package.

But if you’re a season ticket holder you have the privilege of paying full price for a ticket to these meaningless games.

I WANT some football.
I would suggest that the media refrain form showuing the kneeling players just like they do not show people who disrupt a ball game by running on the field.
When you quit breathlessly glorifying the sophomoric stunts they wull virtually die off...there will be a couple here and there but the vast majority, denied thier forum in everyone’s face will simply stop.
Meanwhile, show me that one hand grab trailing toes at the edge of the endzone...show me a hit that stuffs a running back 4 yards behind the line....
Gimme some football....

Personally, I've lost interest in the NFL. It's not just Kaepernick (who played for the 49ers, who I've rooted for since I was around 5 or 6 years old). The game simply isn't the same - diluted playoff structure (about half the teams get in), far too much bad product on the air, especially on Thursday nights, too many good games inaccessible in my area, too much political correctness and liberal virtue signaling on display each week, too much of Roger Goodell serving as judge, jury and executioner on player disciplinary matters.
I came in during the '70s, when
this was the Monday Night Football theme song, not some pop star yowling while football players stare awkwardly into the camera. My 49ers were the joke of the league then, as they are now, but the league was so much more fun to watch back then. I still have my 49ers season tickets, but these days I usually give them to friends and neighbors with kids - maybe they can get into the games. I have trouble caring anymore.

But they are still exhibition games, still dont count in the standings.
The NFL has a solution for that - during the next CBA round with the NFLPA, they're going to demand an 18 game schedule, and in return will agree to only 2 pre-season games. This shell game will turn two exhibition games into games that count in the standings, net them more TV revenue and open players up to more injuries and wear & tear. Count on the NFL to find a way to screw both fans and players while turning a profit.

I haven't seen any of the KC Chiefs pre-season games, though I did catch a few minutes of one. It was on a TV in the conference room we were using as a control center/break room, during a 34 hour data center move. I think I saw about 15 minutes of the game while I was getting some dinner.
That's as much of the Chiefs season I'm planning on watching. I'm done with the NFL.
