CHargers sign Justin Herbert to massive extension.

Elsewhere, training camps are opening all over the league today. We are getting closer.

I miss football.
Herbert is the real deal. As good as Burrow, but not recognized as such (usually, anyway - that's what AFC champ games do for you).

As to your second point, amen. Can't wait.

Any truth at all to the Commanders opting for another name change? Wait too long, and it's a bad idea, methinks.
