NFL Training Camp Is Here

Are You Ready For Some Football?

It's late July and that means that one by one training camps around the league will open up and the buzz of the upcoming season will fill the air.

Teams will hit the weight room, attend meetings, play in scrimmages and probably take on some two-a-days.  

Multiple daily practices in the mid-summer heat are the worst part of the year for the players, but it's one of the best times of the year for fantasy players.

MLB Weekly Review

Take it Deep: http://www.letsgodeep.com/ & http://www.passitdeep.com/

What a week for baseball as the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game kicked off early in the week and gave fans plenty to cheer about.

There are 2 robberies to report from Monday Night as Josh Hamilton stole the stage in the first round and then Justin Morneau stole the trophy from Hamilton despite hitting 13 less homeruns on the night.

Josh Hamilton wrote another chapter in his amazing comeback story as he won over the fans in New York by stepping to the plate against his 71-year-old pitcher and crushing pitch after pitch deep into the New York night.  When the first round had come to a close, Hamilton had set a new record with 28 homeruns in one round including 3 shots over 500 feet.  The fatigue of 38 swings in the first round was too much for Hamilton as Justin Morneau defeated him in the Finals, 5-3.  It was a proud moment for Canada and the Minnesota Twins as Morneau won his first Home Run Derby title.

NFL Vs. The Dark Night

NFL vs. Dark Knight

Summer is about the -ions. By -ions of course I mean Relaxation and Anticipation. The kids are out of school, and most likely are just mentally rotting with all the partying they are doing and all the Wiffle Ball they are playing. The company you work for most likely has gone to a nice, relaxed dress code and you and your spouse have saved up your vacation time for the week long trip your taking to LBI or Hawaii if you're so blessed. Summer is the time of year that flat out makes people's lives worth while. Everything is more laid back, everything is just relaxed. But another thing happens during the summer, when a strange smell begins to form in the air. What's that smell you ask? Football. The countdown to Week 1 has begun and we, as loyal sport's fans, are sick with anticipation. Colin Cowherd would contend, with sharp objection to Antonio Vivaldi, "There are two seasons a year: Football season, and waiting for Football season."

Here is your 2008 NFL Quarterback Class

2008 NFL Quarterbacks Report Version 1

The Air Assault begins: 7/21/2008: http://www.passitdeep.com/

Tom Brady
Height: 6-4
Weight: 220lbs
Team: New England Patriots
2 YR Avg: 37 TD
2007 Total: 50 TD
2008 Projection: 38 TD

Last year, Brady put up unbelievable numbers, which included 50 TD passes. He's always been a solid performer with an all pro offensive line, but now he's gotten some skilled help. It's no coincidence that his huge season came during his first year with Randy Moss. Moss hauled in 23 of those 50 TD passes and his speed left the field wide open underneath for Brady's safety valve, Wes Welker. It never seems to matter who is in the backfield but a healthy Laurence Maroney can only help Brady's numbers. Expect a decline in last year's TD total, but he could still lead the NFL.
