I was planning on it but completely forgot it was on....was it any good?

Absolutely!!! There is one on right now on ESPN.

Looks a bit Rusty to me, but it is week one. I’ve seen more blocked passes in 3 games than all NFL season. I like most of the new rules especially the kicking game. I haven’t decided on the clock with the 5 sec run off yet. I’m not a basketball fan so this is pleasant for this time of the year.

It is interesting to see the number of former NFL personalities represented there.

It’s a little like AAA baseball. You’ve got guys that just can’t quit break into a roster from the practice squad, guys that had 3 to 4 year careers. And some due to injuries, odd man out and the undrafted that still want to play. It will be interesting to watch and see if it evolves and hangs on.

They sure are playing hard.

I can’t help but think they feel this is their chance to show their stuff and get a crack at the NFL. Even some of the coaches like Jim Zorn hasn’t been around for a few years are back.

Marquette King, the punter from St. Louis is quite a talent. If he keeps it up, he will be back in the NFL. One heck of a performance today.
