I was sitting on my JetBlue flight at the gate this past Thursday awaiting pushback and taxi. I look out to my left at the next gate over and what you I see? -

Yep - US Airways is painting some of their jets with NFL logos. My guess is that it is tied in to their hub airport cities. While taxiing, I spotted an Arizona Cardinals-themed jet. I could snap a picture of that one for you Cards fans, though - I was taxiing, and "portable electronic devices are not approved at this time" ;-)

Of course, this suddenly reminded that the coming weekend included the NFL Hall of Fame inductions and... THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME! Ah - life is good again. While I am a sorts addict in general, football has been and always will be my #1 sports passion. From mid-June until mid-July, the presence of only one major sport (baseball) makes me feel as though I am stuck in the middle of desert desperately searching for an oasis. NFL training camps and the preseason remind me that pro and college football are only a few weeks away. Time to fire up the ol' Replay TV recorders and schedule NFL Network recordings. I need my scouting information :-D
