“Preseason” aka Scrimmages are unnecessary IMHO. We never had them when I played ball. Clint Jr had one scrimmage per year when he played, it’s a relatively new phenomenon. It’s safer to play in the winter than the summer because of heat stroke. With all the teams having access to indoor facilities, I believe, summer practices should be done there. What’s wrong with working 8 months a year? They ain’t teachers!
I'd agree with that. They aren't teachers. And giving teachers credit for 8 months is awfully liberal with your wording. They work 6 in a good year. LOL!

I know...back then you played with a real rock and no pads or helmets. I know, but things have changed. LOL!
The only thing I like about the preseason is that it's good for rookie development, especially if you have one that will play in your offense or defense from the beginning of the season to the end.
