Training camps are wrapping up, pre season's begun. Football's coming, football's coming!

Let's get the top two circus stories out of the way.

If any bunch of assholes deserves Mike Vick, it's Philadelphia fans. It'll be hard to sort out who's booing because they've decided to play the game of hating him from who's booing because they've got one less dog fighting outfit to attend on their trips to Florida. I just hope McNabb plays well enough to keep Vick out of a starting role.

Did anyone really believe we'd heard the last of Favre? So it's obvious that he planned this so he wouldn't have to attend training camp. But do you think he was also prescient enough to plan it so that he could steal the spotlight from Vick rather than vice versa? I'd guess yes.

With that out of the way, the real football stories I'm interested in are Matt Cassel moving to KC, Tom Brady's return, and whether the Colts can absorb the loss of Harrison and a less-than-invincible Manning with a weak offensive line.
