News and notes from around the NFL
Training camps are coming to a close throughout the NFL. Like any good reporter, I kept detailed camp notes with such interesting tidbits as: "The players say two-a-days are tough in the summer heat." What follows are some of my notes from all 32 NFL camps.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: Rookie linebacker Paul Posluszny says he feels at home with the Bills because general manager Marv Levy's smell reminds him of Joe Paterno … For the 16th camp in a row, all blocking sleds were dressed in Scott Norwood jerseys … Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas visited Bills camp this week and gave rookie Marshawn Lynch some valuable advice on how to have success in the NFL: "If you ever make it to the Super Bowl, try to remember to bring your helmet."
Miami Dolphins: The first week of camp was spent convincing new head coach Cam Cameron that his playbook consisting of 450 pages of the words "Give the ball to LaDainian Tomlinson" would not work well for the Dolphins … New linebacker Joey Porter demanded an additional six lockers be made available for his abs … Trent Green has begun to grasp the offense but is still drooling a lot.
New England Patriots: Tedy Bruschi fired up his teammates on the first day of camp by taking out Chuck Norris with one hand … Several Patriots appear surprised at how much Randy Moss' skills have diminished. Especially Reche Caldwell … Tom Brady's recognition as Esquire's "Best Dressed Man in the World" is expected to make baby goats the hot fashion accessory this fall. New York Jets: Between two-a-days, head coach Eric Mangini completed his cure for cancer and solved the world's energy problems by successfully developing cold fusion … New running back Thomas Jones says it's nice to play for a quarterback who's not so focused on New Year's Eve … After first-round draft pick Darrelle Revis ended his holdout, he received a text message from Jets legend Joe Namath that read: "I want 2 kiss u."
