NFL training camps are one sign of the dawn of new football, and can you believe the dawn is already here? NFL teams start camping as early as today when rookies report for their hazing prep, among other rookie things. Veterans will join later and then preseason games and cut days and Brett Favre unretirement rumors and then the season will be here. Time flies when you hibernate during the offseason.
