Everyone,

Fox Sports Florida is having an Offseason Special.

Last year's was pretty good and better than past years.

Times are at the link.

Nice! Thanks for the info! Definitely gonna watch it! Just need anything Magic related to hold me over till the season starts. Or at least till Spider-Man, Red Dead, and 2K19 come out.

Playoffs... blah, blah, blah... stick together.... blah, blah, blah... defense... blah, blah, blah.

Come regular season, we'll be watching buddy-ball on the court and another lotto pick watching from the bench.

The 'inside the magic' special? I don't have time for that mess. I watch the sport, not the bs talk.

The negative comments in this thread are pretty funny but not surprising. All the losing is going to cause that. Since I live in Texas and don't get Magic news locally, I actually like watching specials such as this. Hopefully someone on the Magic Reddit page or on here can provide this on YouTube since there is a good chance I will miss this when it airs live.

Even during the doldrums of the offseason, I can't be bothered to watch these PR videos. I don't mean to sound cynical. I just don't take any pleasure from these presentations of puffery that put a positive spin on the most superficial events surrounding the team. I'm not starved enough for news about the Orlando Magic to settle for these uninformative time-fillers.

It's unfortunate that the Magic aren't worthy of enough attention and aren't in a big enough market that we can rely on a steady stream of journalistic coverage and critique of the franchise's goings on. The only journalists that have any access to the players and staff are those that toe the line; so I come here instead.

I always get excited to watch these but then I realize it’s 30 mins compiled of footage we watched all summer. With a couple interviews.

I'll look at all of this with skepticism until we have on-court results. This is a transition year. We all know we need Bamba to start and we all know we need a Point Guard. Next year we'll be demanding results. The clock is ticking on WeltHam

Well said.

It’s not even the losing that has me thinking this way either. This stuff is just PR fluff with no substance. I get excited about the sport not the personalities.

It was pretty good. Nothing huge.

At the end, MacKenzie Thirkill who is now with The Magic revealed that the October 8 preseason game at Miami will be televised.

Hopefully, the other 4 games will be televised somewhere.

You mean you aren’t into shots of Dante hanging on Vuc’s every word like a little puppy, just dying to force out an exaggerated laugh when Evan’s decaying hairline is mocked again?
