Still In Training Camp Mode.....

Good news Robert Meachem is back on the practice field claiming that the pain in his toe is still there but he will play thru it. If we were playing a game we all know there are deadening agents that will likely take care of any game time pain. Welcome to the world of antidotes Robert.
I meant to make a comment about this USC situation with Reggie Bush...................
WILL YOU GUYS IN THE MEDIA JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!!!
I am sick and tired of hearing about something that happened 5 or 6 years ago and ultimately is the fault of the Head Coach(Pete Carroll)! I don't see any one in the media grilling him! He knew EXACTLY what was going on and that is why he left USC. A local radio guy made a very intuitive comment...he said "I don't see USC giving back all the money they made on Reggie Bush Jerseys" and "I don't see USC giving back all of the Bowl money they received as a result of having a dynamic player like Reggie". I agree. When is the NCAA going to get REAL!!! If not for these players they wouldn't have these huge TV contracts paying their Universities MILLIONS of dollars every year. It's a business for them but for the students it's just for fun and games. And don't give me that B.S. that they get an education. If it was really about an education the NCAA would see to it that ALL students left with a degree. But they could care less as long as they are filling the University coffers. I really could care less if a college program gives a poor student athlete a place to stay with his folks or a new car to drive around in. I only wish I would have had that kind of talent when I was in college. I say WHO CARES!!! Enough already! Leave Reggie alone!!!
In other news as expected the Saints like having experienced players so they signed Ladell Betts for some insurance at running back. I guess will see how quick he can catch on to the system. This is definitely a stong signal to Hill and Ivory that if they want to make the team they need to step it up because Betts isn't going anywhere. Either Hill or Ivory will be out by the end of the Pre-Season. Right now it looks as if Ivory has the edge. We shall see.
