To have a marathon of Preseason Games all day on Sunday that were played the night before. What kind of programming is that? How bout a marathon of Live Regular Season Games from previous seasons instead of this crap? And who the hell watches an entire preaseaon game on TV?

Good question. I love football, but have little ambition to watch a marathon of meaningless games.

I'm sure not watching endless truck, car and beer commercials with a little football interspersed between Ford, Toyota and Coors.

A couple things...

1) Regular season games are usually replayed on NFLN during the regular season.

2) With the ever changing NFL, preseason games are starting to become less and less "meaningless".

Why would they not do that? It gives every a chance to see different teams and how players are playing before the season starts.

Who wants to watch a bunch of games from last season that everyone knows the results of? That would be foolish.

I'm not a big fan of preseason games but I will watch the 1st quarter of a game here and there just to see how sharp the starters look.

While I don't pay a lot of attention to them right now, I do after the 4th preseason game. Those are the games that jobs are on the line, and the clubs have to play the numbers game.

Like Bosco55David said, they run the games fairly regularly when the season starts.

Ding ding ding! It makes advertising on the preseason games slightly more attractive; doing it for the advertisers, not the fans...

I',m talking older NFL games from the 1980's and 1990's
