[Chrisksaint]

With the lockout over, free agency rolling and many training camp starting up figured this thread should be made

News from every camp so far:

Players cramping up left and right.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

I wish we could sleep through to Week 1, but alas here comes the painful tease.

Maybe the players will play a little longer in the preseason this year.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

Despite the fact that there is a rookie wage scale, the Browns still have their 1st round pick Phil Taylor hold out...

Impressive.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

And in other news, Eric Steinbach is going to probably start the season on the injured list for...well, who knows why? Probably something the Cleveland media shouldn't look into...

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

word has that Fat AL failed the conditioning test for the Pats..

“He’s not quite ready to practice yet,” Belichick said

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

Jeremiah Masoli has practiced as a running back for the 49ers. Already moved back to QB, but still unsure of what position he will be playing.

Re: Training Camp/Preseason Talk

Sounds like Shaun Rogers has showed up to Saints camp in pretty good shape and is impressing Gregg Williams, guess you're motivated when not playing for the Browns? lol

To put the quote in context:

Belichick said there are still things Haynesworth needs to do before he can practice, but did not specify when asked if the conditioning test was part of that.

And Ochocinco finally spoke out:

"I'll always be me, it's been a part of my game," he said. "But there's a certain way that the Patriots do it. For me, I've always been a chameleon, so I'm going to stand in and do it the Patriot Way.

"I'm happy to be here. I'm going to be a little quiet, you won't get the same Chad you're used to and I probably won't be talking to the media much, probably not at all, really. I'm going to play ball and ride the wave, man."

"Me and Tom are cool, we are really cool," Ochocinco said. "It's been a joy ... I respect him, he's the best at his craft. I've always called him, 'The Surgeon.' It's going to be fun."

Ochocinco clearly already has been versed in the Patriot Way, as he heaped praise on his fellow receivers, particularly Wes Welker, and suggested he had to earn himself a role within the group.

They're all minor... things like cramping.

The knee injury to Redskins rookie, Kerrigan may be of a bit more concern but right now it's being reported as not that big of a deal.
