I almost forgot the first preseason game, the HOF game, is tomorrow. I know none of the starters will be playing and it is not the Lions, they play a week from tomorrow, but I am still gonna watch. I mean, IT'S FOOTBALL. NFL football at that. I cannot believe it is back again already. Another reason to love the UFL. It filled a big gap between the SB and preseason so not as much of a withdrawal. Are you ready for some football? Because I sure the hell am.

I had a good laugh today with some friends about how our texts were about horse jumping and table tennis. So ready for football to be back.

Put the table tennis players on horses and you might have an interesting and fun sport.

The thought of horses wearing water wings brings a smile to my face.

We put Netane Muti on IR. I feel bad for him. He looks like he could be a great OL guy, but he has had injury issues since college. When healthy he has been productive but just not a lot of games due to the injuries.

CB Emmanuel Mosley is injured and out indefinitely. Shocking. Not.
In other news I see things have gotten chippy between the Lions and Giants during joint practices. I doubt it carries over to their preseason game tomorrow but who knows. Could make for a better game than one would expect.

Jake Bates made his first preseason FG attempt. 53 yards. Just one kick but seeing how he struggled in practice I am happy to see him make it. Maybe he is just more a game kicker.

Not a good game but it was about who had the better backup players. Congrats to the Giants on the win. Maybe they found themselves an RB. It was an educational game as I learned there is now a "landing zone" for kickoffs. If you do not send the kickoff into this zone, it is a penalty. What a dumb ass rule. Long as the ball stays inbounds you should be able to kick it anywhere. This landing zone is between the 20 and goal line. So, no more squib kicks, I guess. That just makes no sense to me. If they were done more, it could be exciting with a live ball for either team able to recover. I have a feeling this rule will be ended after this season.
