wowser.

That was boring. Roger Goodell is getting a lot of credit for being a hard-line commissioner, and we think the next thing he should take a stand against is boring preseason games.

Max it at two. No one needs more than that.

Who's missing?

Quite a few people, actually.

The entire team is on the field in uniform going through warmups, and several players are missing.

The PUPers are of course missing -- Chad Jackson, Eddie Jackson, Troy Brown, David Thomas and Richard Seymour. And Asante Samuel isn't walking through that door. Tonight, at least.

Also not spotted on the field: Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Artrell Hawkins, Laurence Maroney, Eric Alexander, Junior Seau, Pierre Woods, Billy Yates, Benjamin Watson and Kyle Brady.

The absences of Maroney, Alexander and Seau are something of a surprise, given that the trio have worn red non-contact jerseys since training camp began but also have been actively taking part in practices. Also, Donte Stallworth took part in full-pads practice this week.

Hawkins, Yates and Watson were all injured during the week; Moss and Brady more than a week ago.

Ahoy, mateys!

Hey all --

Sorry, but we were inspired by the theme here at Raymond James Stadium, which features a large pirate ship in the north end zone.

So we have settled in -- a little late, but that just follows with the way the rest of this day has gone -- and are eagerly awaiting the start of preseason game numero uno, which gets underway in about 70 minutes.

Most of the players have gone through their early warm-ups, and now the kickers -- all four of them -- have taken the field in uniform. Matt Cassel is out there with Lonie Paxton, Stephen Gostkowski, Josh Miller, Danny Baugher and Tom Malone.

We'll have more shortly.
