Training Camp - A Pictorial Mini-Series - Part 1

So we're a full week out from the start of the preseason and about three weeks from the start of college football. And again I am terribly delinquent on the NFL training camp updates.

There's really too much going on around the league - the holdouts, the contracts, the new strategies, the battles, the "aw, crap!"-injuries (yes, Elvis Dumervil, we are talking about you) - to actually write about all of it, and they say a picture tells a thousand words, so here are a few thousand words to really capture the spirit of the past week - the spirit that says that football season will soon be upon us once more! Most of the pictures are from the AP, but I forgot a few names, so please take credit for your wonderful work, should you stumble across this blog. 


Now we know why the Houston Texans have never made it to the playoffs in their entire existence. 


"No, No, you've got it all wrong! It's 'kick, step, kick, step, twirl.' Again now, from the top! Music, please!"


We (and guard Roberto Garza) knew the Bears were poopy and got wiped last year, but this is getting ridiculous (Chicago Tribune)


But nobody's in the toilet this year like the Steelers. Come on, even Hines Ward knows it.


The Patriots defense at camp. That's right, the entire defense - we're pretty sure that Vince Wilfork (left, #75) ate the linebackers and most of the secondary. 


Houston Texans kicker Kris Brown's son plays with his father's helmet. And, after last season, Gary Kubiak may consider giving the kid his dad's job. 


T.O.'s first drama in Cincinnati: applying the sunscreen.


Why isn't Greg Olsen doing this instead? (Chicago Tribune)


The Jags really hope to turn themselves around this season. 

Part 2 to come soon, hopefully with news.
