After everyone was waiting with bated breath for an agreement (especially ESPN--seriously, is there a day they don't run "NFL Live"?), the NFL got back to work with preseason games tonight. With all of the negative news regarding our financial markets, it's a shot in the arm to have America's favorite game back and working. Besides, having a $9B business in play doesn't hurt.
One of the chief complaints among NFL ticket holders has been the insistence of teams to include preseason games in their ticket packages, forcing fans to pay for two "fake" games. Many ticket buyers have been upset about this arrangement, and fans at home aren't thrilled about watching these contests, either. My question: are fans so excited about football, any football, that they will tune in to these games?
