Training Camps

Oh Boy! Training camps are opening. A few teams have had their rookies getting an early start over the last several days. Today the veterans report to the training camp sites of the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints. They are the first to open as they are the teams playing in the Hall of Fame game in two short weeks. Football is upon us!

The remaining thirty teams will be starting through this week. The Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders are the last to open on Sunday. Most importantly, the Minnesota Vikings open this Thursday. They still have a bit of work to do before then. First round pick, tackle and Matt Kalil, and third round pick, cornerback Josh Robinson, are still unsigned. They have just over two days to correct that issue. It has to get done. Kalil and Robinson can not be late to work. Big things are expected from both.

Even though the offseason likely flies by for the players it seems to drag forever for the spectators. Then suddenly, it's here. There's still about six weeks before the games really count. Those weeks will fly by now. Practices and preseason games are the start. Football is here. Everything that takes place in February starts with this week. Every team is equal. Every team has a chance. Football is back and it's gonna be a blast.
