With the Hall of Fame game behind us, we’re now cruising—cruising, I tell you—into the bulk of the NFL preseason. It’s safe to say that the only person more excited than us (I’m assuming, like me, there’s something wrong with you if you’re reading this) is John Harbaugh, who wore a “1–0” shirt to his press conference Tuesday. He likens his comically long, 23-game preseason winning streak to a no-hitter in baseball, which means we don’t discuss it until it’s over. Or maybe at all.
We are truly living in peak society, my friends.
There are 16 games this weekend, beginning with a Texans-Patriots tilt at 7 p.m. ET Thursday and ending at 4 p.m. ET Sunday with a game between the 49ers and the Raiders. If you consume enough cold medicine before 4 p.m. Sunday you can convince yourself it’s the Jimmy Garoppolo revenge game you never asked for. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
