Hating the NFL preseason is less an opinion than a reflex. You’re conceived, you gestate, you come out of the womb, and by then you already know that watching the Hall of Fame Game is a waste of time. Despite its high ratings, Americans hate the NFL preseason so much that even when the NFL lopped off the fourth preseason game and added a 17th actual game in its place, that STILL wasn’t enough to blunt the antipathy. Well, luckily, I am here to piss all of you off with a contradictory opinion on the matter, which is that the NFL preseason is both necessary and, in spots, really quite enjoyable.
I respect the NFL preseason and you should too
