Eight measly percent - that’s not a lot. That is what one month out of the year equates to. Now, 20% - that’s a little higher, which is one out of the five months of football we are promised every year. If your team is lucky enough to reach the postseason, then you get bonus football, but for everyone else those five months are a big deal.
But this season, we will be without 20% of the action as the league has decided to get rid of all preseason games. For some fans, they’re not batting an eye as preseason consists of games that don’t count and you rarely get to see the starters play.
