it's almost training camp

Alltel stadium is sold out, so we'll have fewer annoying fans of visiting teams in the house, and those that choose to watch our beloved Jaguars from the privacy of their couch are now assured of that ability for every game this fall. Maurice Drew, second round draft pick, has been cleared of all charges with the LAPD (and you just have to shake your head when that sort of thing becomes a highlight) stemming from an assault in an L.A. Denny's. Store cameras show he left way before the altercation, so you have to wonder, why was he indicted in the first place? The kid showed a lot of class not going off on the people who were making him look like a criminal, but it's over. Fred Taylor is reportedly looking like the guy we picked coming out of college. Byron discovered the weight room and is looking more like a football player and less like the Pillsbury Dough Boy (or a grown up Gary Coleman). The defense is looking even better than last year's...and we haven't even started training camp yet.

I can hardly wait.
