Close-up of Cato June’s tattoo on his right arm. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The NFL needs to release a media guide every year that explains the origin/impetus of every tattoo. There’s no way you wouldn’t flip through this during games. |

Two things nearly caused a riot at media day: (1) the free brunch, and (2) this reporter from TV Azteca, who walked around holding a microphone and never seemed to actually interview anybody.

Marvin Harrison’s personal hell: Having to talk to the media for 60 straight minutes. He was laboring. They should have sent the TV Azteca girls over there to loosen him up. |
