Sights and sounds of the approaching season

[Buchanty]

The post draft doldrums are nearly over, and just like waiting for spring the first buds of the new football season are peeping into view:

The MLB all-star break
Mike Reiss back from vacation
Rookies start to be signed (3 down 9 to go)
Reiss's first mailbag after vacation
Ask Reiss: Heavy workload on tap for campers - Boston.com

and just around the corner

Countdown to training camp reaches 14 days (only one more day to go)
Training camp schedules published

Now the news gets more interesting, and top 10 lists start to disappear (thank god).

Anyone else got any tangible signs of the season's return?

Sadly, it feels like fall out today...I guess that's a sign...where did summer go?

I think a nice sight is seeing Wes Welker and Tom Brady practicing together while on "vacation". LOL at the rest of the league if our core offensive players stay healthy. Can't wait till training camp.
