Dream On.

So here we are in early August, with several NFL teams doing some serious damage in the free agency market.  One of the most notable teams to make some big-name signings following the CBA was most definitely the Philadelphia Eagles, who have been recently coined as this year's "Dream Team."

This nickname brings two thoughts immediately to my head:

1)  The 1992 gold medal winning United States men's basketball team, which included ten hall of fame players.

2)  How this nickname could mean anything for a team that has proved nothing.

It is August 4th.  The teams just got their pads.  And you're calling the Philadelphia Eagles, a first-round playoff exit squad... a dream team?  This notion just does not sit well with me.  You can tell that it's early in the season and there is absolutely NOTHING to talk about in the sports world right now (except the red-hot Brew Crew).  Everything at this point is all talk, and quite frankly the only team in the National Football League that has ANY bragging rights are the World Champion Green Bay Packers.

But all 32 teams, including the Packers, have something to prove this year.  It's a new season.

In a nutshell, I'm ready for the season to start.  It's starting to get a bit ridiculous with how much "talk" is surrounding the league, such as Merrill Hoge ripping into Tim Tebow (see next post) or the next biggest news being Plaxico rolling his ankle (cue Rex Ryan foot fetish joke).

Let's just hope we all can start our Fantasy Football leagues in the near future to get our minds on some real competition.
