NFL Teams Soon Will Feel the Heat

Hey, it’s hot as hell outside, but at least we’re not out busting our butts, knocking heads with 240-pound linebackers in 98-degree heat. Wait. That kind of sounds like fun. It would be more fun than sitting at a cubicle all day, right? Soon, NFL teams will be back to the grind as training camps open in about two weeks. Here’s a complete schedule. The Jets rookies report July 16. The J-E-T-S need to begin as early as possible. Our world champion New York Football Giants go to camp in Albany July 25. I went to Bengals camp about three years ago. A friend got me and another buddy sideline passes for an intra-squad scrimmage. That was the closest I’ve ever been to NFL action, and it was a blast.

Six and Done

I've posted five items here today – Oops, this one makes six – and I think I need to quit for a while and concentrate on a few other things. I have a couple other stories I could get to today, but I think I'll save those for later. Hey, I may post tonight if my wife leaves me alone long enough. Don't tell her I said that. That said, I'll leave you with this uber cool photo of the Bengals' kicker Shane Graham doing his thing in an intense fog. Good night sports/weather fans – both of you! Enjoy the cold, possibly rainy ALCS tonight, and Go Tribe!
