NFL Preseason musings

I've never really had much interest in the NFL preseason/training camp stuff (even when it involves former Dogs). Heck, when I was back home I couldn't work up enough energy to make it to a Saints practice (partly because I'm too cheap to pay for parking). I do have the Broncos "Inside Training Camp" Tivo'd right now, though. But that's different. I was a bit surprised this morning to find the sports-centered internet seemingly buzzing with MNF talk. Most of it seemed to give little regard to the "game" between the Vikings and soon-to-be irrelevant Raiders (although I am eagerly awaiting the Aaron Brooks vs. Randy Moss drama set to play out this fall). Most of the talk seemed to center around new booth talent Tony Kornheiser. I've been a fan of PTI from day 1, and his radio show made my long mid-morning drive to work tolerable a few years ago. Depending on who you believe, he either did a good job, or bombed completely. Dennis Miller comparisons? Already? Really? Finally, when I moved to this neck of the woods, I was sort of forced to keep up with the Titans to a certain extent (but the Bengals now seem to be making inroads with the local bandwagon), anyway, they are on thin ice with me now. First, there was all the Pacman Jones shenanigans, then they cut Steve McNair, and now their mascot hits the Saints (my childhood team of local interest) backup QB with a golf cart!
