    Do you even care about Training Camp and/or Pre-season?

    I don't. Too much false information/PR spin being put out by the teams to make it worthwhile. Its hard to sift through all the BS to get any pertinent info. The only stuff I pay attention to is if a guy is injured and out for the season. Otherwise, I don't make any judgement on players until the first few weeks of the regular season.

    I used to watch the pre-season games, thinking it would allow me to pick out a couple "sleepahs" for fantasy football, but I've seen that there is really no relationship between preseason production and regular season production.

      The only thing I care about it is that it tells me football is soon to return.....occasionally I'll watch random moments of the preseason, but in all it probably amounts to about 20 minutes of viewing.

        Nope. Just like the draft it's a huge tease.

          i'll check it out, but like was said, it's a lot of fluff to weed through. there's always this WR that does some fantastically awesome shit in camp, but then is the 6th WR playing special teams gunner once the season starts. i'll watch a half of the preseason games in like games 2 and 3, b/c that's the games starters play a little bit more. preseason game 4 is a joke and a scam.

              I always watch Indianapolis' preseason games and whenever I can I stay up to date on what's happening in Training Camp.

              I'm interested because I like to see what shape the team is in going into fall and where some guys may or may not play. I enjoy it and I enjoy watching the depth play in the preseason games. What's interesting to me I guess is the position battles within the game that are happening.

              With so much turnover in Indianapolis right now Preseason and TC imo are very interesting.

                I watch the Vikings preseason games if they come on. But im such a huge fan I like seeing how the backups may preform later on. Players like Joe Webb and Emanuae Arcenaux are fun to watch during preseason.

                  I get super hyped up for the first preseason game then about 10 minutes into it im like "oh yea, this is pre season"

                  falling in love with the NBA took alot of mojo out of the NFL offseason for me. getting a life did too. i won't miss a minute of Packer regular season football just like last year, but whatever at everything before then

                    Pretty much my sentiment on preseason, but I'll probably watch a few full games.

                        I like to find out which players are reportedly in the best shape of their lives coming into each season. You never know which 100-200 guys that will be each year, so you gotta keep an eye the training camp reports.

                          Like has been said. I only care to find out if someone is injured. I may...MAY watch the first half of some team's 3rd preseason game because I know the starters will be in, but that's pretty iffy. For me, football starts with Week 1 of the NFL regular season. Even though, the NCAA starts before the pros I don't usually bother with the first week or two of that since it's mostly powerhouse schools beating up on The Sisters of the Poor.

                            I usually catch the Lions pre-season games whenever they are on replay on NFL Network. I'll set them to record and just fast forward to the parts that interest me (how the starters do, new players that I want to see in action, draft picks, etc.).

                              I don't think I've watched a Packers preseason game in years....so no. Only good part of this time is drafting for Fantasy Football.
