NFL Training 2006 Camps are Open!!

July 29

Steve McNair - QB - Ravens - made his debut with the Baltimore Ravens and looked very good! I'm very impressed in what I hear out of Ravens camp and it is just a matter of time before Air McNair is back in full flight!

Ben Roethlishberger - QB - Steelers - made his debut with the Steelers by running the first training camp drills. The first drills are a test for each player to determine whether they are in enough shape to put on the pads. Big Ben completed the drills and then was swarmed by all the media at Steeler camp!

KeyShawn Johnson - WR - Panthers - made his debut with the Carolina Panthers and worked hard in working on his pass receiving routes. Since the Panthers are projected by many football experts and are on the cover of Sports Illustrated to win the Superbowl, Keyshawn tempered the media and fans that it is way to early to projecting the Panthers to be in the Superbowl this year. Keyshawn speaks from experience because he said this is exactly what happened in Tampa Bay with him for several years until they won in a few years ago. So hold the horses or better yet hold the Panthers until the season actually begins!

Terrell Owens - WR - Cowboys - made his debut with the Cowboys and continued to try his best to get the Cowboys fanatic fans to accept him. Because of this tenuous past relationship against the Cowboys, Terrell will have to do alot of extra public relations ploys to get the fans and the very tough Dallas media to support him. For his first day performance, Terrell gave the fans what they wanted and caught a ball just in from of Aaron Glenn and ran for a touchdown! Of course, in Terrell style, he also showboated as usual!! Even though Parcells says Terrell will not be distraction, let's REALLY see how long this will last!! The Terrell watch is ON!!

Podcast Show #6 - Big Ben's Motorcycle Accident

By now, you have seen all the news reports indicating that Superbowl Steeler Quarterback and former Miami University quarterback sustain multiple face, head and body injuries in a motorcylce accident. After 7 hours of surgery (upper jaw, teeth and face) from 4 different surgeons, Ben responded well and it appears that he will be leaving the hospital within 4 - 5 days.

His condition has been upgraded to also include that he will be ready for the Steelers upcoming season! Wow, that's alot to accomplish within a short period of time, but if there is anyone who can do it, it is Big Ben!!

All of our prayers and blessings go to Big Ben, his mother and family!
Next time Ben -- wear a helmet or don't ride a motorcycle again. You can't predict how the other driver will drive!
