Be careful what you wish for...

Before leaving for Mankato, a lot of people said, "you're so lucky."

Am I?

Its about 97 degrees, and I'm watching players - most of whom won't make the roster - basically stand and listen to coaches talk.

The only thing keeping me sane is the sliver of shade provided by a mobile film tower and a solid breeze.

Good news is, this will make me appreciate when the veterans show up and the real practices begin.
