Are there really people who bet on preseason games?

If so how do we get them help?
From @NFLTotalAccess: The expectation is that the #Redskins start veteran QB Case Keenum to open the season, as Colt McCoy heals and rookie Dwayne Haskins learns. A look at where their QBs stand pic.twitter.com/WlOQg7rkpE

— Dwayne Haskins, Jr (@dh_simba7) August 20, 2019
I don't see the value of tying up a roster spot for a 3rd QB in most years, let alone for a QB who can't stay healthy. I get the 'experience' argument, but we have Alex Smith to help coach up both Keenum & Haskins if need be. The need for depth elsewhere is more pressing imho. https://t.co/lue7Y5HomJ

He's watched every snap the kids taken so far :) The goal is always to win as many games as possible - what other goal should there ever be? If he goes with Keenum, it's because he's decided he's best equipped to help them win games right now. That's not a controversial decision. https://t.co/M8UjFg9amR

Am i the only Redskins fan who fully expected Case to start the season, & who is also completely unconcerned about that development?
— Nothing McBlankerton (@HardcoreHaney) August 20, 2019
Not ecstatic, mind you...not optimistic...just unconcerned.

Soccer star Carli Lloyd drilled a 55-yard FG at Eagles’ practice today. https://t.co/2l5jaVON9F
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 21, 2019
Serious question: If great kickers make $4 million or $5 million per, and Lloyd can do this without much training ... Why wouldn't a women's soccer player make a run at a job at some point? It's way more than they can make in their own sport, right?

The #Cowboys have reached a long-term extension with LB Jaylon Smith, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 20, 2019
So the first lucrative deal that Dallas gives out this summer is not to Ezekiel Elliott nor Dak Prescott nor Amari Cooper, but LB Jaylon Smith.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 20, 2019
One thing that is well-known in the building in Dallas: With post-career business aspirations in mind, Jaylon Smith puts great value in being a Cowboy. He wanted to be there. So he and the team found middle ground, struck a deal.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) August 20, 2019
Jerry Jones cites Jaylon Smith's team-friendly deal as Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper seek long-term deals: Team takes precedent, and I've got backbone to keep it that way https://t.co/37PBX50YMj

Now that Jaylon Smith got paid had to ask “Now that Jaylon's got a slice of the pie, does it affect how big of a pie Amari, Dak, and Zeke can get?”
— Jane Slater (@SlaterNFL) August 20, 2019
JERRY: There's less pie left, make no bones about it.

#Raiders WR Antonio Brown wore a Schutt Vengeance Z10 LTD helmet today in practice, per source. It is among the 34 helmets approved for use after the NFL-NFLPA laboratory tests were conducted early this year and sent to players in April. It’s in the green grouping of helmets.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 20, 2019
Raiders coach Jon Gruden was asked if Antonio Brown showing means he's all-in, smiled and responded, "Is that some sort of joke? Yeah, he's in, all-in, that's what he said."
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) August 20, 2019
On the kind of helmet Brown's wearing, Gruden said, "It's a certified helmet. He's all-in, ready to go."
And lo it came to pass, after months of anger and hurt feelings and nearly 2 weeks of public recriminations, ultimatums and legal actions, our protagonist tried a slightly different product from the same manufacturer and said "This is OK I guess." The end.

Baker Mayfield to @GQMagazine: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones. Blows my mind…Some people overthink it [what makes a good quarterback]. That’s where they go wrong. They forget you’ve gotta win.”
— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) August 20, 2019
Full story: https://t.co/4cVBnvft1c
Mayfield might be right in the end but he's gotta shut up. You don't want your franchise QB constantly being in the headlines for the crap he says, even if he backs it up on the field. And he's only done it for 14 games. Let's slow down, please. #Browns https://t.co/wekBPooIUa

Hey dipshit, the writer of the article himself came out today and said this was blown way out of proportion and Baker's comments were totally misunderstood. THE WRITER DEFENDED BAKER AND SAID BAKER WAS NOT TAKING A SHOT AT JONES OR THE GIANTS.
On behalf of the entire media, I wish to again apologize for directly quoting someone who knew they were being interviewed. We are, and continue to be, history's greatest monsters.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) August 20, 2019
Every day, every quote, every pre-season prediction and cover story of the #Browns being "America's Team" makes me think more and more that they won't win more than 8 games & could be a dumpster fire of in-fighting. America & the media ALWAYS gets the hype machine wrong.
