Are You Ready For Some Football? | Monday Morning Quarterback's Blog

So admit it. I bet you thought this day would never come fast enough?

Think back. Last time we talked "Football" - it was a cold night in February and someone by the name of David Tyree caught a ball of his helmet on his way to a NY Giants win over the NE Patriots in the Super Bowl.

But, now after several long-suffering months of (heaven to bid) NO FOOTBALL--- guess what, Football Fans...ITS BACK!

That's right- Summer Training Camps are in full swing and the dog-days of summer "2-a-days" are back.

So, what's changed since last year?

Well, simply...

We said goodbye to Brett Farve...Then we said hello to Brett Farve...Then we said goodbye to Michael Strahan...then we said hello to Jake Long as the #1 pick in Miami.

T.O. is still in Dallas...Tom Brady is still in New England... and there's a new stadium being built in East Rutherford.

But that wont be ready for another season.

In the meantime, the big NFL news around here is:

First in Giants camp:

- can the Giants repeat as surprising world champs...

- and can you believe the nerve of the team to be charging all that money for PSL licenses?

Over in Jet-land:

-take your pick at QB is the story there.

You've got Chad Pennington, who is ailing (he's always ailing) with a weak-and-surgically repaired arm, as probable starter...

And he'll be competing with Kellen Clemens at QB.

And the Jets- who might be playing to save head coach, Eric Mangini job- are hoping that the acquisition of Alan Faneca will provide the protection up-front of whoever is the starter.

But the season is still more than a month away...

And for now- it's all about getting' ready for some football!
