Pfreseason has its goods & bads. For Cobb last night that may be his only time in a NO Saints uniform - looking that good!!
Especially after the lockout preseason is really needed. Does it need tweaked - of courase, no questions BUT you still need it. Kindof like women - can't live with them. Can't have heterosexual sex without them!! |

When you compound that with the fact that I had a brother with a birthday on Jan. 28th, it wasn't uncommon for my parents to throw a "combined" party for both my brother and I. Now, that's really a pisser when you have to share your birthday with someone else. I think I might have even got a few "IOU's" from my folks back then.

Your opinion but I got to disagree. $200 for tickets and parking to watch guys that will be unemployed in a week. Not good.
oh hell no, Buds, I'm not going to a preseason game... I sell those tickets. this is the reason I think all preseason games should be played somewhere like Shreveport or Jackson. shoot, they treat it like its the SB. |

Sorry I am not that pleased with the victory. Its pre-season. Score means NOTHING.
What is alarming is that we can't seem to stop a run to save our lives. We really don't need our D to play like pro-bowlers until late in the season when the run gets here but we at least have to be competitive until that part of the season gets here. |

I know a lot of you , especially the season ticket holders don't like pre-season and the costs associated with it but it serves a purpose. The fans get to see new talent showcased, and get a feel for how the team looks overall. The staff gets a chance to evaluate new players, and old ones too in a game situation. IMO the current format of 4 and 16 is as close to perfection as they will ever get. And as much as I love the NFL, I don't want to see them add more regular season games, nor do I want the play-off formula changed. The only changes I want to see are putting the KO back where it was last year and get rid of the funny overtime rule for the play-offs.

I will never agree with the length of preseason. I understand that they have things they need to look at, but they don't need 80,000 people observing them observing. I could give them a break if they would tweek the price of the ticket...but that ain't never gonna happen. My only recourse is to sit back and complain with every 2 out of 3 of my posts during preseason. |

You shouldn't half to pay full price for half price talent!
