If you thought there was a lot of chatter about the NFL the five-plus months since the Baltimore Ravens outlasted the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans, just wait until this week. Football season is in sight as rookies and veterans arrive at training camps and begin competing for spots on final 53-man rosters. There will be position battles. There will be foolhardy and premature prognostications. And there will be a point when everyone ? coaches, players and fans ? wonder whether the league?s kickoff weekend ever will arrive.
