Voted Eh.
But only because I don’t exactly “look forward to them.” I do give them a passing glance each week, though.

Voted "look forward to them"
because I don’t want to add to the rampant negativity.

stat hounds
I’d guess that most of the stat hounds that are interested in these are probably familiar with most of it already. On the other hand, I usually find something of interest that I didn’t know before. Like this week – Tampa Bay only has 4 sacks for the year? Ya hear that o-line?
