With the weather the way it is right now in the midwest, the Chiefs players may be wishing they had stayed in River Falls for one more camp!
I'm sure they have an air conditioned facility.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Saints adapt to camp after the whirlwind victory tour they've been on.
They haven't lost much in personnel, and I have a feeling #9 will have them locked in from day 1.

Repeating is tough to do in todays NFL. Super Bowl champions play a lot of prime time games on Sunday night, Monday night, even Thursday night. Makes things a little tougher. Among other things.

Absolutely, it will definitely be a challenge. The Saints were fortunate, in a way, that the CBA scare happened this off season. Their roster wasn't picked apart as badly as you usually see with SB winners. I think that may help them in preparation for this season. I'm curious to see if they can duplicate the type of pressure that gave them so many big turnovers last season.
The Saints have 5 night/national TV games, so not much more than last season.
I'm confident they'll win the division again, as Atlanta looks to be their only real challenge. I'll be very curious to see how the rest of the NFC shakes out.
But, it is a new year, no team has ever repeated as NFC South Champs...

I was absolutely stunned when I read this article this morning...and I am a big Packer fan and had NO idea.
Quote:
To understand just how good Grant has been since taking over as the Packers’ starting halfback midway through the 2007 season – and how few people appreciate him, including his own team’s passionate fans -- we offer the following statistic, which is sure to surprise more than a few folks:
Beginning with Week 8 of the ‘07 season, when Grant assumed the starting job from DeShawn Wynn during an overtime win at Denver, Grant has rushed for 3,385 yards.
The only other player in the NFL in that time span with more? Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson, with 3,814.

Clark Hunt, son of Kansas City Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt, unveiled the renovated Arrowhead Stadium to the media yesterday.
http://www.kcchiefs.com/media-center...1-f2203817cb95
Lots of tributes to the Chiefs AFL roots with a huge AFL logo in the Founders Plaza and a giant sketch of the Chiefs most famous play, 65 toss power trap.
One of the other improvements is this feature.

Man, the NFL off season is too long. Meanwhile the NHL off season is the shortest.

I read alot of packer sites, and really can't quite understand why people are so down on Grant. he's also put up those statistics with a so so offensive line, althought run blocking they are better at than pass blocking. I get that Grant is inconsistant, and tends to get alot of home run style runs that give him yardage, but it would be pretty difficult to convince me that its easy to replace Grant.

Dez Bryant's first misstep it would appear.
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl...ory?id=5409306
It's called respect Dez. I guess this guy is better than every other rookie in the history of the NFL?
So glad Denver passed on him.

While Roy may be overrated and pretty much a bust, he's still a vet. Shut your mouth rookie and carry my pads.

Probably Roy Williams last camp as a Cowboy. I'm surprised they didn't cut him loose this offseason.

Carry your pads, why? You can't carry them yourself?
