Watching the Cowboys practice on NFL network makes me long for the field. I’m done. I recognize it now. Maybe I’ll work myself back into shape enough to play flag on Sundays. Maybe I’ll lose the gut. Lots of maybes set free in the digital realm. Preseason is full of maybes. Maybe the tough talk from the Jets won’t fall flat. Maybe these guys will actually perform. However, hearing Geno (who may not even start this year) talk about how he’s a top 5 QB and Dee talk about being the best corner in the league, I’m thinking these guys are all talk again. The Giants, on the other hand, aren’t talking and that bodes well for the season.
I feel like football is a big part of my life still. I’m a coach and a fan and a father of kids who love the game and long for the contact. Even in a year where I plan to skip the $60+ dollar FB video game purchase, I’m looking forward to the game being a part of my every day life. I’m also looking forward to getting better at it from a mental standpoint. This year’s waiver wire picks ought to be much better. I’m hoping for a 90% success rate and two fantasy football championships.
Some Thoughts:
- After a 10 hr drive i’m glad to be home.
- I’m looking forward to running some crazy hard practices when I coach 10-12 flag football. That’s where I started coaching and thats where the creativity can really take hold.
