Hall Of Fame Update

I managed to stay up for half the game.

The final result was The Colts 16 - The Redskins 30.,

The good ole team of John Madden & Al Michaels were commentating.

Both teams looked pretty good,,considering it was the first game back.
The Colts were trying out their back up QBs, as Peyton Manning is recovering from knee surgery and is questionable for the start of the season.

Things are looking good for The Redskins as they have a new coach and system in place. They have also acquired Defensive End Jason Taylor from The Dolphins. Taylor was on the sidelines, but didn't play.

During August star players or starters may only play a quarter or two per game so as to prevent the risk of injury. This month of games is to check out the rookies and the 2nd string players lowdown on the depth chart and to see who can cut the mustard for special teams. The coach's hardest job for these games and the July/August training camps is to whittle the teams roster of 80 players down to 53 for the start of the season.
