does anyone remember that site that showed you what games are being broadcast where? Does it work for the pre-season? I might have to be out of town Sat. evening.

No dice on preseason games. I would assume, unless they are on SNF/MNF/ESPN, they are pretty local.

It doesn't look like they post for preseason.

If you have NFL Network, they are re-broadcasting (and in some cases broadcasting live) all of the preseason games. Best thing I would do is a DVR search there or look at either the nfl.com or nfl network websites for more.

thanks guys....it's not being broadcasted locally in Beaumont that I can find. So, the family will just have to have their little celebration without me, or I'll DVR it or catch a re-broadcast.

The player with the most to prove on Saturday?

I'm going with Dan Orlovsky. He needs to have a good game to clearly separate himself from Grossman and show that the team can count on him if Matt Schaub goes down with injury.

So he's the one I think I want to see the most, too. I was really anticipating an extended look at Arian Foster, but he won't play due to his hamstring.

Is Caldwell starting at Center? I'm really interested in watching him and see if he really is capable of stepping in for Chris Meyers this season and improving that position.

Hmm, lots to be watching this early in the year, I was thinking the 5 TE's, 3 who also snap would be most interesting, now I think watching our young CB's should be interesting as well. And I hope our DL is more disruptive than before.

Stephanie logged a blog post on her pre-game thoughts:

• How will the Texans offense do against the KC 3-4? I think KC may end up showing more stuff preseason to get more confidence in their young team, and get their fans more excited about the season. They've said that it is a priority for them to win these games.

And aj_ has one too:

The Chiefs added some big names during the off-season, especially at linebacker with Mike Vrabel lining up at the right side outside linebacker spot and Zach Thomas at the left inside spot next to Derrick Johnson.

Imagine that... Derrick Johnson as a 3-4 linebacker.

White is starting at OC, but you should get a lot of Caldwell.
