Re: NFL cuts 2020 preseason in half
The cut in preseason games is indirectly connected to the virus. It seems the NFL is just opening up more practice time, and I guess less exposure, in the preseason.
However, if regular season games are cut down it'll be directly because of the virus. We'll see if hundreds of people can be in close contact for several hours week after week and continue to dodge the bullet. SFIAH |

I really don't remember anyone banging the drum to play all four.

Re: NFL cuts 2020 preseason in half
I'm all for having less pre-season games. Less non-important games means more practice time to get better for the season.

Lots of quality football players have made teams, the Saints, and had careers because of preseason games.
