NFL Training Camp Thoughts

Few random thoughts on NFL training camps now that all of the teams have reported.
  • Dallas Cowboys had a day off yesterday (Thursday 7/25).  With the new CBA rules, teams have to take a day off after five consecutive training camp days.  Since the Cowboys reported early to camp, due to their participation in the "extra" pre-season game, Hall of Fame Game, Thursday marked their day for rest.  By some of the comments made by Cowboys players, is was a welcomed sight.  However, I'm sure some of the "old school" players that are now retired look at today's players as too pampered.
  • Percy Harvin injured his hip during conditioning prior to camp and may require surgery.  He is seeking a second opinion.
  • Matt Ryan got a 5 year extension worth over $100 Million Dollars.  Of course TV commentators made no derogatory remarks over his contract like they did Tony Romo's extension.  Not sure why, last time I checked they both had the same number of Superbowl Wins.
  • BillaCheat and Brady continued to respond by not really saying anything about the Hernandez issue due to "this is a legal issue and I can not comment".
  • Andy Reid looked energized and ready to go in his all Red Attire.  From a fantasy football perspective I am interested to see what Reid does with Jamal Charles.
