Thankfully there was divine intervention during Thursday night’s game between the Ravens and the Eagles at The Linc in Philly. The game was awful, featuring 24 accepted penalties in just 48 minutes. The NFL preseason game was cut short by the lightning and the thunder!
There was once a day when the third NFL preseason game was the jewel of preseason – although even then it was just a shiny zircon, the more polished of the other fake gems, aka games, on the preseason docket. But now, even the semi-luster of preseason game 3 has dulled to a schmegma-covered piece of quartz.
