Anyone else love the preseason?

I know this sounds dumb, but I'm an eternal optimist who never talks badly about a player who's good enough to make a team (I'd be an awesome PR director...lol).

I absolutely love watching Preseason games, and hearing about training camp. In some ways I like it more than a regular season game. Before you flame me, hear me out.

You get to see people you don't usually see. I love new faces, even if they're new from last year

. Its like a different team during preseason, and things happen from the strangest places. I like it when someone you'll never see again makes a diving catch or a huge hit. Even though they may not even make the team, they're playing their guts out, and I like that.

Also, the games don't matter. I get so wrapped up in possible playoff berths, how other teams are doing, records and whatnot. When you get to see a preseason game you can just RELAX. No blood pressure fits, no heartache at the end, and no rough voice on Monday. Its chilled out like a baseball game, yet its still as fun as football (cause it is, duh!)

Finally, its filled with hope and promise. Even when your team does horrible, ou pick it apart play by play and for the most part come away with a sense that it was a good game. About the only performance in the last few years that hasn't been enjoyable is that of the backup QB, and that's only exclusive to KC's backup (I haven't been impressed with their playmaking ability for some time now).

Anyway, that's it. If anyone else shares my sentiment, even for a little bit, please say so. Also, I'm not saying I like it more than the regular season, but at the same time it offers some things that a regular season game can't, a happy-go-lucky attitude and some fresh faces.
