STARTING TO GET READY,BUT JUST STARTING

The NFL teams have reported and NCAA teams are packing up and getting ready to report. I find it a bit humorous that if you listed to the "experts" they have already put out their preseason rankings and power numbers. This is funny because especially in college, we just start learning about the makeup of the teams when they actually start practicing. Some schools don't even know who will be starting at QB. To think we will know how good a team is while having to guess who will take the snaps is just ridiculous. I like to start looking at the new season about the time the teams start looking to the new season. I could guess on some of the decisions that these teams will have to make about personal but Why? I don't have to, there is plenty of time to compare match ups and injuries in the weeks to come. The NFL preseason starts this week and while I dont recommend betting on these games, they are a useful tool in deciding how good these teams will be.Late in the NFL season,due to injuries, you will see a lot of these backups that play now having to take on more important rolls with some of these teams.  BTW, if you are one of those guys that is planning on betting your hard earned money on these football games and don't view this time of year as any more than a time to get excited and open your offshore accounts, then you might think about getting signed up. If it was as easy as opening the paper and guessing which teams will win then they wouldnt offer sports betting. the next month is important for those  few of us that will be able to make money betting on the games.
 
They are taking sign ups for 6 year old girls soccer this fall.Some of you will be happy to learn that the Lady Cheetahs will play again and we are getting excited about the season. I have lost a few little girls due to moving and some schedule conflicts with their dance classes but for those few girls that want to try and chase down a title, we will be ready to play this fall!  Fortunately that team doesnt take near as much time to get ready for. Uniform colors and a snack list are the only preseason work I have to do.
 
Have a great weekend! Jack
