Fox for the locals, NFLN for the rest of us. 4:00 pm eastern is perfect for us Saturday day drinkers/late lunch out people. I usually don't watch preseason games, hated them when I was a season ticket holder, but I'm going to make an exception to see this guy:

I'm making an exception too...

We're attending our 1st pre-season game in 5+ years. Normally they go to one of the kids in our season tix group to go to a game with their friends.

I didnt know this was a national game? Interesting choice by the networks to pick this one with 2 teams out of the playoffs in 23.

Hey bud, get your arms around that this guy will be a face of the NFL. Guaranteed.

Man, wouldn't it be great if the franchise lucked-out with QB5 and he turned out to be the best of the bunch?

Burrows, Allen good?

Fingers crossed....

He's the 1st QB I can remember Minnesota drafting with the 'it' factor. His arm talent is so good.

Nationally televised game? Not really if your out of the home market which eliminates the FOX broadcast. So I guess if you are one of the many who subscribe to the NFL network then I guess its a game you can watch. For me it's a pirate stream on the desktop, unless the streams from last season are no longer available.

I don't understand why it's nationally televised either lol but oh well. We'll see how he does. I just hope the hype machine leaves him alone. I don't want hype, I want results

Hype is all we have for awhile. JJ won't be in anything meaningful for quite some time.

I actually just looked up the preseason schedule.

I get that but I am sick and tired of hype and hyperbole. I have no expectations for this year. I am just going to sit back and have fun

Same. I’m Vikings numb until told otherwise.
