Roger Goodell is on record as saying he’s not a fan, and he says the No. 1 complaint he gets from the NFL fans with whom he comes in contact is about this issue.

But there is a purpose to the preseason, a reason it exists, primarily in the area of team-building for the upcoming season, and since that is the business Coach Mike Tomlin is in at this point on the calendar, count him among those in favor.

I enjoy watching the Steelers go 2 and 3 deep in the depth chart. Fun to see who makes the final cut. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about watching any other teams after they pull the starters.

Pre-season can be fun to watch I remember when Willie had some big runs but didn't make the active roster. I couldn't believe it but he came on the next season and that was cool. Redman was the one who surprised me last year, seemed to have what we needed for the short yardage so I was surprised when he didn't make the active roster.

I don't remember Ben as a rookie but will never forget his first game as a starter in the hurricane in Miami. and will never forget the 1st time he played the cowpokes one of his 1st come back games and Steeler Nation was out in force that day as well.

I could go for less pre-season games myself I just wanna see some Steeler football and the sooner the better.

The first sentence says it all. Roger Goodell is not a fan. Oh wait they meant preseason? Or just not a fan of football period? The second theory fits!!
