Kiddies Camp over, Adult Camp opens next week
Peter King of CNN SI, herel , rates the NFL training camps opening next week. Basically he rates them on accessibility (to players), eats, tradition and ambiance. My Dad and younger brother are leaving Saturday for Green Bay for a two week stay. Too busy to join them this year, but (as usual) my thoughts are with them.
A new wrinkle this summer will be my ability to visit two of the top five training camp sites. King rates the Steelers training facility located at ST. Vincents College (poetic that) in Latrobe PA as the number one site. The Iggles come in at no. 4 with there facility at Lehigh University in Bethlehem PA. Both places are driving distance from the house. A quick explanation here, I live in Hagerstown MD but I work in Chambersburg PA which makes both these sites as close to me as Green Bay is to my Dads house in Madison. The other two training camps in the area are the Ravens (don't feel like going to watch Billicks ego clash with Lewis') and the Skins. For obvious reasons I will not put any money in the pockets of Daniel Snyder Head, since he charges an entrance fee. My itinerary is not set but when I get their I will give my thoughts on both training camps.
A quick aside, if your going to the Pack's camp and you see an old man in an electric wheelchair and a young military looking guy, both with crew cuts, stop by and let them know you heard about them through the Wisconsin Sports Bar. Then thank them for there service, Pops Korea and Baby Bro two tours in Baghdad so far. displaced_ched_head
