I was confused about that game last night. I had to doublecheck the calendar.

But really, what was it? I saw references for a Hall of Fame game or something like that...

 
Also, I like how replay challenges will be done on the field with a Microsoft Surface Tablet. I can't wait for it to blue-screen or lock up somehow to send everyone into a frenzy. :D

 
I guess I meant, why is it called the Hall of Fame game? And on a seemingly random (other than that it is during the preseason) Thursday. What about all the other teams that didn't play?

EDIT: Looked it up myself. Rather random.

Probably just a money-maker for the NFL. But I guess it's mainly to showcase/honor the newest round of hall of fame inductees.

Either way, I still didn't mind seeing football back on national TV. :D

Nah, they'll just open YouPorn in their Edge browser and accidentally sync it with the jumbotron.

Also, the one player I knew who was actually left on the Jets, Enunwa, f'd up a disc in his neck and is out for the year.  Guess that at least saves me a fantasy pick.

 
what's weird is watching the games through the antenna (although the picture is great) and not cable you don't get the little score ticker at the bottom of the screen. Is that just a cable / DT thing?

I heard that on sports talk this morning. Didn't see the hit by Burfect but will look it up.

I have yet to hear anybody say it was a dirty play.  Getting ridiculous when a specific player has to defend every tackle he makes when other teams *ahem*Steelers*ahem* make dirty plays all the time and the league doesn't say a word..  Wonder if he can file a discrimination suit against the NFL?

It's to the point where if the player turns his head away from you, he's now "defenseless", so making a tackle can cost you 5 games.  If I were a receiver, I would just look at the ball exclusively from now on, and never look at a defender.  That way, I'm always good for at least 15 yards.

 
And the Niners gave up the game in fantastic fashion last night. I know it's only preseason, so I hope they get it out of their system now, before the regular season starts! Not that I expect them to be any sort of good this year, but I hope they're better than last year. And that's not saying much.
