Hey everyone ... we're in our seat here at Gillette, and we've got a few early notes. We're looking for Rodney Harrison, but there's no sign of him yet.

"The representative from the Lions is Dave Uyrus, who was a national scout for the Patriots under Bobby Grier, and was fired the same day as Grier was, shortly after Bill Belichick took over as New England's head coach."

Well that partially explains why the Lions have done so poorly, I suppose. I remember when "Yahoo.com" was just a search engine and not a "national news media."

Thanks Chris. Any word on Seau and if he'll see some snaps this game?

Nothing yet on Seau ... but if he does play, I would imagine it would be pretty sparingly. In the few minutes of practice we saw this week, he wasn't much involved in the drills.

And for what it's worth, Yahoo.com is starting to snap up some pretty impressive writing talent. Charles Robinson is always a good read, and they just signed Jason Cole, who covered the Dolphins for the Miami Herald for several years.

Thanks Chris, I assume some of these scouts are also taking an early look for the season, Buffalo and NYJ at least, are the others still window shopping? If you get a chance to talk with one, does the easier trading environment under the CBA have any affect on their jobs?

Thanks Chris, Remember that's #37. Don't be checking out the cheerleaders until you get aconfirmed sighting.

Gotcha. No worries--the cheerleaders don't usually hit the field for another hour or so.

And I don't know if it's possible, but the cheerleaders' uniforms seem to be skimpier than they were last year. Not that I was looking at them, or anything...

And the hits just keep on coming!
