Another preseason game, another major injury to a young star quarterback. Just another part of Jets lore, oh goody.

The whole NFL preseason is a strange monster. Teams charge full price for tickets and add them onto the season ticket plans. However, the stadiums are usually never close to being full, and for good reason. The starters usually don't play more than a half, and as we've seen, they're often exposed to potentially serious injury. However, those who really follow college football will get a kick out of "Hey, I remember that guy" when it gets down to the third- and fourth-stringers in the second half -- maybe. I have been happy to see Sam Simmons and Damien Anderson pull of big plays this preseason, but they're usually at the point when most fans have either left the building or switched off the TV.

And to think, I actually spent $34 plus $10 for parking to watch a Chargers exhibition game. I did see the first Falcons game as well, but I lucked into free tickets three rows behind the end zone thanks to a friend.
