Sunday I watched the Cowboys and the Bengals duke it out at the Hall of Fame Game. The pre-season debut for the NFL. It's the football equivalent to Memorial Day, signaling the start of a new season.
It would be nice to look at the games and tell you how I thought the Cowboys would fare for the season, but really, that'd be dumb. Both teams have only been in training camp for about a week. With multiple injuries and new wrinkles in schemes to try out, it would be silly to draw any lasting conclusions from the game.
But it was nice to see a few things...
Ochocinco's Golden Cleats - Any man willing to dress like a West Indian track star during a football game is +A in my book.
The Cowboys first team offense stalling in the red-zone - Again, it was only the first preseason game, but, it's the Cowboys and they stunk...hooray.
T.O. catching some passes - Yeah he's an egotistical pain in the neck, but at 35, the Cowboy's DBs still gave him time to get open. If our wideouts can slip away that well...it'll be a long season in Dallas.
There were other things, like the player-projects each team is undertaking, from the 6ft 7in tall Michael Johnson who looks to be a bright spot at the outside rush linebacker position. To John Phillips of the Cowboys, the young tight end that looked as if he could fill in nicely as a third tight end.
Honestly, it was good to have Football back. The world cup might be global, but I'm not, so yeah, let the hitting begin.
