That seems like such a bizarre thing to say. But here we are. Preseason week 1 and it's on TV. Where did the summer go? Not counting the bye, the Vikings now play every week until at least January 7th. 

Finally get to watch Addison and IPJ and Chandler and Hall...but an 8 pm kickoff? 9 for you Minnesotans? Damn.

There's cheerleaders!!!
Edit:  Also, inquiring minds want to know.  Are large beers still the exact same size as small beers there?

LET'S GO BABAYYY! ROAD TO THE SUPERBOWL STARTS TONIGHT!!!!!!!
... hopefully.
9pm start for the first ps game actually works out perfect for me. I can watch-- undisturbed by kids-- a half and then head to bed. Second half will lead to nothing good because there'll be some RB or LB who balls out of their minds, I'll fall in love with them, and they'll be cut in 2 weeks. This way I won't have that temptation.

The biggest thing standing out in this game was switching the god awful Seahawk broadcast to Allen and Leber.  My god they were awful.

I can take a whole sleeve of Dramamine and I still can't stomach Paul Allen on the air. If I was forced to listen to him, I would turn the sound off. 100%.

Maybe it's because I don't get the home broadcast often, but his big calls are some of the best in the game, imho.  I understand how he could wear on you, but the Seattle threesome was loathsome.

PA's a legend. But it's not about him. The Seattle broadcasters were horrible. The worst I've ever heard. 

PA kept saying the had "techinical difficulties" in Seattle. I'm 90% convinced NFL Network yanked them because they were embarrassing the network.

Listening to the highlights was about more than I could stand of them.

The Seahawks broadcast was unlistenable. PA can get a little over the top, but at least he's calling the game and you get Bercich analyzing.  They are a great pair IMO, PA for the calls and rah-rah and Bercich for the knowledge of the game.

Yup, I Agee. How many times do I need to hear about "football immortality" and the new era of the backup QB we are playing? That said the Seahawks coverage sounded like some "roll call" morning show from the 90's and was even more embarrassing.
