Since I wasn't about to get out of bed at five this morning, I made a point of TiVoing today's American Bowl NFL preseason game. Then I made the mistake of going online before watching it. As you might expect, I've accidentally spied the result already.

Thankfully, preseason football isn't about winning or losing, despite what Steve Spurrier may have thought last year. For the fans, it's about whetting the appetite and refamiliarizing ourselves with the rhythms of the game. So yeah, it's "only" a preseason game, but we have to get back in shape for the season much like the players do.

Therefore, final score known and all, I'm about to go watch the game. I just wish it weren't too early for a beer. I wonder if I've got the necessary components for a Bloody Mary lying about...
