Even though it’s summer, from a sport’s perspective I hate this time of year. The only sport going on right now is baseball and since the Rockies have pretty much always sucked and there was no professional baseball in Denver until them…I am forced to wait for football season to get here. And it’s almost here!!

Just 21 days…count them…that’s a mere 3 weeks until Broncos’ training camp starts. And the first real game (Preseason still doesn’t count) is only 2 months away. I for one cannot wait!! I love professional football and I bleed Orange & Blue! And I am pretty bullish on the Broncos’ prospects this year. I think they have a better than average shot at winning their division (can anyone guess the last time Norv Turner had a winning season as a head coach?? That would be never!). I think their season hinges on Travis Henry and Jay Cutler…and I like those odds.

And with the start of the NFL season comes half of the reason to watch. Fantasy Football baby! Two months from the draft and I’m already starting to plan. Just can’t help myself. The last two seasons I’ve had LT on my roster (and paid dearly for him too since we run an auction draft). Didn’t win either year (although I was in contention) so this year I may have other plans in mind.

NFL 2007 here we come…can’t get here soon enough!
