Football is back.

Mike Vick should have a wildly succesful season.

Rumor has it he's already in the runnings as "Ball boy" of the year.

Rex Grossman looked like Rex Grossman last night.

Seriously this is the NFL. Interceptions happen but not handling snap exchanges is nuts. Is he not keeping his right hand on the center's butt?

The poor kid gets rattled too easily.

....And not surprisingly, Brian Griese looked like a real top notch NFL quarterback that should actually be the starter.

Brian Griese was playing against the Colts 2nd string. But yes he looked better pretty good. Not dropping the snap is always a big plus.

Some guys just get rattled sometimes. I think Grossman is like that. He is either really good or really bad. I am old enough I was a Bears fan when Bobby Douglass was their starting QB. I remember how much potential he supposedly had. Someguys just never play up to their supposed potential.

I taught my boy to long snap a few years ago. Most fathers and sons go out in the yard and pass the ball around like normal people. My boy and I would take about 3-4 foot wide stances and hold the ball double handed over our head and throw the ball back and forth ( a long snap drill ). The boy is a real good long snapper in practice. The team found out he could long snap and he did great in practice but in the game it wasn't so good. He would get nervous. When he had a meltdown usually he would snap it short which is better than chucking it over the punter's head. Too bad, good long snappers are hard to find. But he looks good in practice.

I think Rex is sort of like that.
