MONDAY NIGHT TRENCHES
Watching the Seahawks-Packers preseason game here. I figured it's time for the second edition of (wait for it)...
The Trenches!
---Beginning later this month, Comcast will carry the NFL Network on digital cable. Too bad that I don't have Comcast. I have this sh*tty local cable company here that refuses to be bought out. Not that I'm a fan of major cable corporations, but I want the NFL Network. That's not too much to ask.
---Oakland Raiders left tackle Robert Gallery went down in practice today with a hyperextended left elbow injury. Gallery, the 2nd pick overall out of Iowa, is expected to be the Raiders' starting left tackle in 2004. The Raiders are hoping that Gallery's injury isn't too serious. Raider Nation is keeping their fingers crossed.
---The NFL Players Association filed a grieveance today against the Cowboys on behalf of quarterback Quincy Carter, who was released August 4. Carter started all 16 games for the Cowboys in 2003, where they went 10-6 and earned a wild card berth. Vinny Testaverde is currently scheduled to start for the Cowboys when the season opens September 12.
---Tight end Ben Watson is in camp with the New England Patriots. The first round pick out of Georgia switched agents late last week, citing that he wanted to get into camp ASAP. Mission accomplished. San Diego's Philip Rivers is the only holdout remaining.
---LaDainian Tomlinson signed an 8-year deal, approximately $60 million, with the Chargers this past weekend. Tomlinson has rushed for 4,564 yards and scored 37 touchdowns in his first 3 NFL seasons. He's the real deal, folks. Now if only the Chargers can fix everything else around him...

I'll have a Seahawks recap up after the game.
Brock Huard, say goodnight.
