...You have to worry when your 38-year-old quarterback gets injured. If the Bucs can keep Garcia healthy all year, I will be surprised. A smallish quarterback who relies on his lower body to drive the ball needs to be injury-free. Any lower body injury can affect their arm....
...If the Packers do make a deal with Favre and give him money to retire, I wonder how the Players Union will view all other players that retire? Right now, players that retire before the contract is over have to pay the club back the proration of the signing bonus. This idea will have huge implications if it goes forward....

...Eugene Parker is a great agent, but he has two major hold-outs, one in St. Louis with Steven Jackson and the other (a strange one) in Buffalo where the team cannot get in touch with Jason Peters. Buffalo must be worried about the hold-out, they are moving around pieces in the line....

…Jacksonville DE Derrick Harvey needs to be in camp, but his absence is allowing Quinton Groves to get extra reps that can help make him better....
...I cannot tell Tiki Barber from Ronde Barber. I loved his report on the potential of Favre coming to Tampa.
