Couple of stories which could get some legs...

• Almost to training camps, and the NFL Hall of Fame induction is coming to fore, and there may be some boycotts this year.

Lifetime benefits for former players, an annual salary for members of the Hall of Fame, and a share of league revenue is what they are calling for -- according to Eric Dickerson.

(And if you think they're getting it...)

• Speaking of possible trouble on the horizon, DirecTV and the television networks are talking, and it's not going well.

CBS has been pulled from all DirecTV packages as of this morning, the latest in a series of contentious negotiations between networks and cable and satellite outfits.  Affiliates in sixteen major cities are impacted.

We are seven weeks from the start of the NFL season.  CBS has the AFC package.

And some smaller markets have lost the other networks.
