[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 835234, member: 10441"] yeah, the overseas games are all about future growth, not immediate cash in pockets, though they seem to fill some pretty big stadiums i'm not sure it's a monetary loss for them. I don't think 2 games is enough. They play starters so little, i know it doesn't matter a whole lot, but September has just become the preseason. They don't hit in practice, they hit in September. They don't have as many season ending injuries in training camp, they get them in September. We don't watch 4 weeks of subpar football, we get 8 weeks. It's why every year recently nobody can tell who the good and bad teams are. but by October, the wrinkles are ironed out and the cream rises to the top. Adding "meaningful" games might be cool for gamblers and fantasy football guys, but the games won't really be any more meaningful other than for stats. It will still be a subpar product. I've actually grown to appreciate the preseason and use it more so I can just watch the new guys and see how they're responding. It's not about yards, and catches and sacks and wins in the preseason, it's about, can that kid beat the guy across from him and now. I think I appreciate the game more now than before. But then I don't have a fantasy team to "worry" about either :) [/QUOTE]
