Just noticed that the first preseason game is during my wedding. $1000 deposit on the banquet hall and we just paid for catering, too late to cancel? Or I could just hold this over the bride's head for the next year and make her watch every Packers game... Yeeeess, the corruption will begin. 🙂

Be thankful it's just in the pre-season and not during the regular season.

Also, this may be a case of having your priorities warped (though I do realize the OP was written in a mostly sarcastic manner).

Guess I'll have to find a source to watch it after the fact, I won't be moving back to Milwaukee and thus a Packers market where I can record myself until September. I ❤ the Packers, but I've got my priorities straight... I can still take care of both obligations, just not the Packers as quickly as I'd want to. I'd be a LOT more upset if this were a regular season game.

I don't think I would cancel ANYTHING for a preseason game. Its preseason. Seriously. Its preseason.

6:30PM according to Packers.com. I guess if I'm to miss any preseason game, I'd want it to be the second, followed by the first. There's going to be jack for starters playing, and while I'd like to get my Packers fix for the first time in a long while and get a look at some of the new kids playing a different NFL (second/third) team, watching after the fact isn't going to kill me. What I hate hate HATE about missing regular season games (especially when I was living in WI) is that it's really hard to not hear from SOMEONE how the game went against your will. In the preseason, especially the first games, score doesn't mean jack squat. So, not much spoiler risks 🙂

If she scheduled the date, then you've got some accumulated 'guilt chips' to cash in for some extra whoopie.

    Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
    Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
    Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
    Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
