Got to start by apologizing to my faithful followers about the delay between posts. Two-A-Days just seem to drain my enthusiasm for blogging. Speaking of the dreaded double sessions, they mean football season is almost here! As any Hard Knocks (more on that later) fan knows, the NFL preseason has already started. If you're looking forward to games that actually means something, High School Football starts up this next week (along with school.. Yuck!), and College will start the first week of September.
Anyway, I watched the first two episodes of HBO's Hard Knocks and was surprised at a few things. Of course Jets Coach Rex Ryan's cursing jumps out. It seemed like it was pretty standard for the NFL, but it still offended longtime NFL coach Tony Dungy. You could tell that Rex tried to tone down the swearing in the second episode, but who knows if it was because of Dungy. The funniest part was probably Antonio Cromartie trying to remember his own children. I lost count, but it seemed like he had a baby mama in every state and a couple in Canada. Also, about half of them were three years old, which didn't make sense to me, but hey I'm no math whiz. If he is willing and able to support them all, then more power to him.
Lastly, there was some big football recruiting news. In today's recruiting world, a "commitment" means pretty much nothing.But it is still exciting that Five Star prospects James Wilder Jr. and San Antonio/Cibolo product Malcolm Brown have committed to Florida State and "The" University of Texas. It will be interesting to see how a big bulldozer back like Brown does in Texas' Spread Offense, but they have been doing more under center stuff, so we'll see. For all those interested Brown's High School Team will be playing Madison on ESPN August 28.
