Training Camps Start Today!

Well coaches, it seems that football season will be here before we know it. Training camps are underway with a few first round draft picks still left to be signed. The Colts might slap the franchise tag on QB Peyton Manning, just to make him the highest paid player in the NFL. And espn.com's power rankings put the Super Bowl champion Saints at #2 just behind the Colts (which should make ex-commish Jim Risk pretty darn happy that his Colts are ranked #1).

Caterina's Coaches X is underway and currently recruiting teams. I believe that all the coaches from last year will be joining up this year. If you haven't signed up yet, do it! If you know or live with someone who hasn't signed up, tell them to do it!

The draft has been TENTATIVELY set for Sunday, August 29th at 7:30 for a live, online draft. Once all the teams have joined I will check in to see if this time works for everyone. This seemed to work the best for the team owners last year and we aren't going to rock the boat, so to speak.

And there seems to be a question of keepers....did we declare them or not? In the jumbled memories of the current and ex commissioners, we did not declare keepers last year. However, that is certainly up for debate. If you remember that we did, let me know.

I am looking forward to another wonderful, TENTH season of Caterina's Coaches.
