Training Camp Begins...

OK, so it has been a very busy week in the world of football. If it wasn't enough being the starting week for training camps, it was Brett Favre and his indecision to come out of retirement (yet again,) Michael Vick being reinstated, Terrell Owens reality show and Eagles' defensive coordinator Jim Johnson dying of cancer. Too much news... and I haven't even started talking about all the Twitter news from the likes of Ocho Cinco, Shawn Merriman and others. There's far too much to keep track of, and far too little time to do it... so I'll leave that up to the experts... check em out... http://www.nfl.com

In Dallas Cowboys news, they are officially 1 day deep into training camp, which was apparently a grueling day that left many players tired and beaten down (according to their various twitter messages.) Today they resume practice and put on pads for the first time, and although Wade Phillips is claiming he will not run another 'camp cupcake,' the players are still not tackling in practice. Phillips rebuttal to this is that they will get plenty of tackling practice in the pre-season. I beg to differ after seeing Dallas whiff on so many tackles at the end of last year... cough...Baltimore...cough...Philly...cough... I would like to see them hitting hard now in preparation... does this increase the risk of injury? Yes, but that's the game, ain't it....

Anyway... if anything ground-breaking and exciting happens in camp I will post again, but for now... peace! Oh yea... another thing of note... Dallas' 3rd draft pick, right tackle Robert Brewster will miss the entire season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle, it happened before training camp even begun... can't get worse than that... the good news is, he should be able to pick up a lot throughout the season and off-season and can hopefully contribute in 2010.

It's Getting Hot in Here...

It is that time of year, once again, when my mind forgets everything else and suddenly the main focus of life is NFL Football. The season is starting to heat up as training camp is now underway for a few teams and by this upcoming Friday, all 32 squads will be back to the grind, working on plays, studying the schedule, testing their rookies and pushing themselves to the limits.

I plan on being very busy this season myself. My long list of things to do is setting up highly detailed spreadsheets, working on fantasy football drafts, playing far too much Madden 10, listening to more and more sports talk shows, studying this years opposition (NFC South and AFC West) and keeping an eye on the betting lines... not to mention, posting more on here and using twitter.

It's going to be a hectic season... maybe I should quit my job so I can fit it all in... or maybe not... either way, job or no job, nothing will be getting in the way of Football Season and I couldn't be more happy that it is almost upon us.

Where the Hell Have You Been?!?

It has been forever and a day that I've posted on here, huh?!

Well, the draft has come and gone, the Cowboys' practice facility is a thing of the past. OTA's are over with and so is Greg Ellis.

Hell, it's practically August, which means that the newest Madden game and the Preseason are right around the corner, so I really am late to the party... I should be ashamed of my blogging frequency... downright ashamed.

I also doubt that I will be posting any more frequently than I am now... at least until the Preseason begins and I can go back to posting my recaps, which I do intend to write every week.

For actual news that is up to date, and well-written, check out my main source, www.dallasnews.com and go to the Dallas Cowboys section. It is informative and entertaining, two things I very rarely accomplish.

If there is actually anyone who reads this besides me, please come back in August, when there will be something to read. I may drop the occasional post in the meantime, but even I doubt it.

Well, until then... peace out!
