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.
