And They're Off

All training camps are now open. Some degree of normalcy has finally arrived. Finally, it is all about the football. On the field football. No more bargaining tables, negotiations, finger pointing, and hostilities. Pathetic, suit and tie hostilities. Just on the field hostilities now. With Hall of Fame weekend coming up, minus a game, it's almost like this mess never happened. Well, not quite. At the very least, it's far, far better than it was only a couple of weeks ago. It's very refreshing.

Another thing that is very refreshing is the impact of the rookie wage scale on contract negotiations. Better yet, the lack of negotiations. This new wage scale is working beautifully. Maybe it's the newness of it all but teams have signed all their picks in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks. Amazing. Kind of kills the job of agents which is always a good thing. Having football back is a very good thing.

Here we go.....

RIP Korey Stringer
