The NFL Silly season as some would call it or evidence that Football is a twelve month league, the NFL Draft season is in full swing! A quick look at my twitter feed favorites would show favorited tweets of Matt Miller, Charles Davis, Daniel Jeremiah, Jimmy Kempski, Tommy Lawlor, Bucky Brooks and Fran Duffy. These guys are the go to analysts for prospect analysis, prospect visits, and things happening with teams during the NFL Draft Season and please know there are a lot of things happening! My wife asked me the other day "is the season over because that looks like the football dudes you watch during the season", my reply was it's Draft Season and it's probably just as busy now as it is during the season. She said you must really love football and I said YES I do and I follow the Silly season just as passionately. I need to know that Dan Quinn is planning to use referees in all of the Atlanta Falcons practices so they can cut down on infractions. I surely must know that Tony Romo re-did his contract in hopes of the Dallas Cowboys trying to trade for Adrian "All Day" Peterson. I definitely have to know that Chip Kelly is hosting wide receivers in hopes of bringing in top wide receivers to the team to offset the loss of Jeremy Maclin. YES this is the Silly season but guess who's silly? I will fall on the silly sword but I will bet large sums of money that I'm not alone! It's ok to step out with me silly season lovers, we must get our own shirts and be proud of it!
The silly season will be over starting the weekend of April 30th ending May3rd and then everyone will be redoing all of their silly season work again but with knowledge of the new players on their teams. Something funny happens after silly season though and you can probably guess it's just as passionate as the silly season and that is the Offseason Training activities and Mini Camps. It surely does appear that the NFL season is 12 months long!!
