Yeah, me for one. For me and mine, its an excuse to get out of the house after Christmas day, blow the cobwebs away. get some fresh air and watch some RL. We get a first view of any new players and young prospects, meet up with friends and have a beer. Is it a great game, or a predictor of the season to come? Not usually, but its still enjoyable.
