NEW: Frostbite, frigid temps and playoff football. Even while we romanticize football in extreme weather, it’s not all fun and games: “It feels like you’re getting burned from the inside-out.” “Are y’all gonna cut my fingers off?” (With @MerrillLiz ) espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
A nugget I neglected to mention earlier: Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. says he’s down 10 pounds (to 240) and is “moving a little faster, feeling a little lean and hopefully I can keep it like that.” I actually thought it was a bit noticeable when I saw him today. Interesting.
This is the ramp up period, so the Colts (and other teams) aren't going to go crazy right out of the gate. The practices will get lengthier next week and the following week.
1 hour open practices are a joke. Not worth the drive from out of town.
First Colts practice underway. Notable occurrences so far: *Kenny Moore II jumps a route be Josh Downs and picks off Daniel Jones. *Rookie CB Justin Walley getting starter reps 👀 *Too many drops so far
Lol. That's because armchair journalists think asking tough questions = yelling at people. I hear that's very effective. Maybe I'll try it.
You are also known for never, ever asking tough questions…..ever
It is my duty to step up and ask the tough questions (Relax, it’s a joke. There really isn’t much to ask on Day 1 of training camp)
Big transportation guy.
Last night: A fantastic event with my bro @MarcJSpears hosting Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White for an evening with @JFW. Great wine, great people. WNBA All Star weekend in full swing.

A complete disaster
Lloyd Howell Jr has resigned as executive director of the NFLPA.

There’s a woman reading a physical newspaper on my flight. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
