Looking Back while Looking ahead

okay so i was thinking about what to say about this years training camp and i
remembered thinking the same things i had thought before. so i went back, dug out this blog and figured that if you changed the dates, removed the parcells reference,
it applied to this year ( and pretty much every year). so i decided to re-post it.
aaron glenn getting cut definitely surprised me, newman being hurt fits in, everybody has their own surprise player that made the team and in the end none of it matters
because starting sept 9...........only the won-loss column matters. later Poke

Training Camp Predictions

ok here goes nothing. this year i predict : at least one player we are counting on will get hurt. at least one player will get released that surprises us. at least one player will make the team that didnt have much of a chance at the beginning. bill parcells will throw a fit at least once a day. jerry jones will get on TV at least once a day. the 4 networks and 2 newspapers from the DFW metroplex will barrage us with insights that aren't insightful . players will have ups and downs throughout camp and us fans will freak out or jump up and down when each event is reported. none of it will matter when the first play comes in the regular season because then it all boils down to each player whipping the opposite player on the other team . i keep telling myself this so i dont get too crazy waiting for 9-11.....when once again we get to watch football on TV . ( i dont count preseason games as "real " football. if this is helpful to your mental state make a donation to something in my honor. later Poke
