Portis sidelined by shoulder injury - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

You guys should know how much I hate preseason NFL games. Besides having to pay for these seats at meaningless games you also have the risk of injury to star players Portis sidelined by shoulder injury - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I don't know when the NFL is going to stop these games but they should take a look at it. No one likes these games the players hate them and the fans hate them. Imagine the uproar if MLB started to charge full price for spring season games. I know that's another story and there is risk in spring training games also.

Most NFL coaches will tell you they can't get a good look at younger players trying to make the roster spot unless they are in game conditions I think this is just a bunch of bull. I watched a scrimmage last week on the NFL network where the Green Bay Packers played against themselves. This is done in practice conditions but who cares. It gets the job done when evaluating players in game conditions.
