Must See TV

**Admittedly, I pay little attention to the NFL pre-season.  This is due mostly to the litany of preseason games which mean nothing and are indicative of nothing.  Rather than waste my time, I simply begin stockpiling football boners for weeks 1 through 17.  This being the case, my "teasers" are a bit lacking.  That will soon change.    

Thursday, September 4:

Washington at Giants 7:00 PM NBC

Regardless of your alliances, this is the first game of the new NFL season.  

Saturday, September 6:

3:30 PM ET San Diego State at Notre Dame NBC 

Maybe this one's a must see depending on your alliances.

Sunday, September 7 
Seattle at Buffalo 1:00 PM Fox 

Which Seattle team is going to show up this year for Holmgren's last?  Is Shaun Alexander washed up?  If he is, what's Julius Jones going to do about it? 
Jacksonville at Tennessee 1:00 PM

Interesting quarterback matchup.  
NY Jets at Miami 1:00 PM CBS 

As sick as I had become of hearing Favre's name, and as ambivalent as I am about the Jets, I can't help but be interested.  Ironic too how Chad Pennington will face his replacement the first game of the season.   
Kansas City at New England 1:00 PM CBS

Will they pick up where they left of leading up to the greatest Superbowl in the history of football?  What's up with Tom's foot?   
Cincinnati at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS

How will Joe Flacco look?  Will Ray Rice get some touches?  What's Cinci going to do this year? 
Carolina at San Diego 4:15 PM Fox

Look for LT to run with a chip on his shoulder.    
Dallas at Cleveland 4:15 PM Fox Tickets

Hoping Dallas fails miserably and Derek Anderson comes back down to earth, plays terribly, and yields the starting job to Brady Quinn.  
Chicago at Indianapolis 8:15 PM NBC 

Monday, September 8:
Minnesota at Green Bay 7:00 PM 

Can Ryan Grant carry the full load this year?  Can Adrian Peterson do it again?
