Also, the little fact that THATS WHAT FOOTBALL IS ABOUT! Beating the snot out of each other. Whats next, a pre-round boxing round just to see if you know all your opponents moves? wtf..

All this professional "pre-season" bullshit does is injure players. It's a total waste. No more pre-season bloney, just begin the football season when the teams are ready to play and make more money and make everything count.
