That's going to be a crappy HOF weekend! They're like the two worst teams in the league! When are the colts playing the Falcons...I believe it is in China or something. Am I mistaken?
But anywaw....can't wait!!!

What is this? I thought the Skins always play the "special" games before the season starts.

I'm glad we only have to play 4 pre-season games this year. That's too many as it is.
Last year we lost one of our best players for the season in one of those meaningless extra games.

Sean Taylor should of had one of these calendars last year. June 26-29 - NFL Rookie Symposium. I sure hope our guys can find a way to make it this year.

I don't think there is any reason to believe that the guys selected this year will have trouble making it to the symposium.

I completely disagree.
I think we need more Preseason games. Sure, accidents may happen and someone (Jon Jansen) can be in the wrong place at the wrong time and land a freak injury, but injuries are part of the game buddy. (Plus, if Jansen never would have got hurt, we never would have signed a leader/veteran in Ray Brown).
But we need Pre-Season games to gel as a team. Our QBs and WRs can get down timing. Our O-line can gel. And our D can get a feel for each other. Plus the preseason is time for our rookies and position battles to heat up (MLB, WR, CB, S...)
I actually like Pre Season.
