I used to get excited about the preseason. Then 2008 happened. Lions go 4-0 in the preseason and 0-16 regular season.
It's a valuable tool for evaluating young guys though, and of course needed to get guys in shape. I watch the games and stuff, because it's football and I've (usually) missed it by then. I just get too excited over it.
Tonight, I care. Lions-Browns, most of my friends are Browns fans. This is bragging rights. Plus the Tigers and Indians are playing in baseball. We have 2 chances to shut those Cleveland a-holes up tonight.
cleveland blows (i'm guessing) lol i'll see you next saturday then when the pats vs lions, should be an interesting game.
Lions are looking great. 3rd game of the preseason, if any, is usually the most important, because the starters will play the longest and it's basically the one game that teams run through things they plan on doing in the regular season. Next week will be mostly backups once again because you don't want to risk starters getting hurt.
