Some people love preseason football. Others hate it. None think the ticket prices are reasonable.
But the anticipation of the 10 days from the last preseason game to the opener is wonderful and filled with excitement.

–Then come the waiver claims.
–Then the signing of the practice squad on Sunday.
–And finally, a frenetic week of roster manipulation to fill holes with free agents and by trade.
