So all 32 NFL teams have started training camp, and there have plenty to talk about.
First, the best CB, Darelle Revis, in the game is holding out. And he should. Without him, the Jets will become a good defense but not necessarily one that can carry the team to a Super Bowl. With him, the defense has a chance to be one hoisting the Lombardi trophy come Feb. 2011. And really this is when his leverage is highest. He's already shown what he can do on he field, and he should be rewarded as such. One play can change his value and the Jets (or any other sports franchise) would have no problem cutting him. They spent the latter portion of the season and playoffs saying how important he is, now its time to pay him as such.
If its August, then its Brent Favre time. Just within the past 48 hours he's retired and un-retired, causing ESPN, Twitter and social media to nearly explode. Some may look at Favre as a diva, and he may very well be, but he's only doing what the Vikings are letting him do. They (Minnesota) actually need him to come back or their run last year could've been all for naught.
My guess is that Favre will be back, and the Vikings just might end up in the Super Bowl if A. Peterson can figure out how to hold on to the ball.
Well thats it for now, just some quick thoughts on early training camp action.
