That does it. The NFL preseason is over. Did it feel long to you? It felt long to me; or maybe that was just the agonizing grind of the final game between the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Shorter now, they say, three is less than four, hogwash it all.
Nevertheless, the Lions now have until Tuesday evening to make the cuts down to 53 men on the roster, from 80. It’s the most brutal, savage point of the year, and while you may call it part of the game, I fail to recognize that any other job where a sudden 33.
