I guess with the Hall of Fame Game on tonight, we can officially start the season discussion.


A bunch of guys for Chargers are playing a bunch of guys for the Lions.

I know it is just the first game and it is preseason but I hope that the regular season late games move along as quickly as tonight and that the games finish around 9pm. Also, the virtual first down measurement system looks like it could be promising and hopefully a game improving technology.

What time do they usually finish now? I wanna say 915-930 or is that off?

Obviously we'll have to wait and see, but I will be cancelling if Stephen A and cokehead McAfee are now going to be involved.

Good news is the ESPN app is forever broken and plays stuttering, jittery audio and video so canceling is an easy choice as their product is unusable.

And like always Jerry will now end up paying more than he would have originally, just like with Dak. NFL fandom needs to do whatever it takes (organ donations, prayer circles, blood magic) to keep him alive forever, gonna suck when the Boys have a real owner.

NFC East always so messy. Mclaurin asks for a trade in Washington, now Micah in Dallas, if the Giants were relevant I bet someone there would have, meanwhile Philly just keeps adding dudes and trucking along seemingly paying everyone.

Jerry is such a moron. He would have saved himself probably $50-100 million had he signed Parsons last offseason and as said above basically learned nothing from how he botched the Dak contract. I get the Commanders being wary of Mclaurin's age but with so much invested in their young QB, they really shouldn't be playing games like this as he's kind of the key to that offense.

9:30 at the earliest normally. Anything to speed things up is good though. I'm not a baseball guy but I know they have done things to speed up their game like the pitch clock and it has significantly improved viewership/attendance.

When the NFL needs to improve attendance/TV ratings maybe they'll consider speeding things up. No one watches the preseason, the coaching tactics are vanilla, and there's little care to clock management, so naturally they are faster games.

Given how much money it costs for a game, the networks probably don't mind the extra time that much if they can sell a few more ads.

Jerry Jones is a ####ing moron. Stephen Jones inherited his dad’s intelligence but then got dropped on his head as a baby. It’s hard to be dumber than Jerrah but Stephen has that covered.
