Are There Any Preseason Football Games On Today

Okay, let's be real. You're here because you're wondering the same thing I am: Are there preseason football games on today?

And probably, like me, you’re secretly hoping the answer is no. Don't judge!

The Preseason Paradox

Preseason. The word itself is a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it? It's football, but...is it really football?

I mean, sure, there are guys in helmets and pads. And, yes, a ball gets thrown (sometimes even caught!).

But let's be honest, it's more like a dress rehearsal with a bunch of understudies hoping to avoid making a terrible first impression.

Are You Not Entertained? (Probably Not.)

I know, I know, some people love the preseason. They enjoy seeing the rookies battle it out.

They get excited about spotting the next Tom Brady lurking on the third-string squad. Good for them!

But for the rest of us? It's like watching paint dry, only the paint is wearing shoulder pads and occasionally fumbling.

And the commentators? Bless their hearts, they're trying so hard to make it exciting. "He's got a burst of speed!" (translation: he moved slightly faster than a snail).

"Great coverage!" (translation: he almost tripped over his own feet and accidentally ended up in the right place).

The Search: Games Today?

So, you're probably still wondering: Are there games today? The easiest way to find out? Google it, of course! Or check your favorite sports app.

But here's a little secret: If you don't look, you can maintain plausible deniability. "Oh, preseason? I didn't even know it started!"

Ignorance is bliss, especially when it comes to avoiding questionable football.

My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)

Okay, I'm just gonna say it: I don't care about the preseason. There. I said it.

I'd rather watch a cat video marathon. Or reorganize my sock drawer. Or, you know, anything else.

Don't get me wrong, I love football. I live for the roar of the crowd, the bone-jarring hits, the last-second Hail Marys.

But the preseason just feels like a watered-down version of the real thing. Like decaf coffee. Or non-alcoholic beer. What’s the point?

Give me the regular season, baby! Give me the rivalries, the drama, the actual stakes! Give me Patrick Mahomes slinging the ball like a boss!

Embrace the Offseason (Almost)

So, if there are preseason games on today, and you're actually excited to watch them, go for it! Enjoy! I truly hope you find it entertaining.

But if you're secretly dreading the thought, join the club. Let's band together and find something else to do.

Maybe catch up on that show everyone's been talking about. Or finally try that new recipe. Or take a nap. Naps are always a good idea.

Because soon enough, the real football will be here. And we'll be glued to our screens every Sunday (and Monday, and Thursday...).

Until then, let's savor these last few moments of freedom. Before the real season begins and consumes our lives.

And if you do end up watching the preseason, well, at least you can say you're prepared. Or something.

You know, maybe there’s a diamond in the rough hiding in plain sight. Perhaps. Who knows. Maybe there are multiple Brock Purdy stories waiting to happen.

I'm just saying, maybe… probably not though.

Happy (almost) football season! And may the odds be ever in your favor of finding something more interesting to do during the preseason.
