Sports With The StatMan #75: Show Notes
Preseason football is just that...the preseason. So, why do fans call for coaches to be fired after a preseason game? We talk about that and the new and improved "Bridge to Mariano". We look over the September schedules for the contenders and compare. Plus, the local teams are featured in the 2010 StatMan NFL Preview of the AFC East and NFC East.
This is a new way of putting together the notes for our show. Instead of summarizing the show, I will try to break the show down into smaller pieces so you can listen to the segments of the show that interest you.
Here is the list of topics we talked about:
