OK then. We've named our preseason favorite in the NFC North. We've decided on a preseason MVP and Rookie of the Year. We've hashed through our major theme for the season, thrown some players and coaches into the pressure cooker and now, finally, are ready for our annual training camp tour.
As you read this, I'm on my way to Bourbonnais, Ill., to be on hand for the NFC North's first practice of the summer. That's right. The Chicago Bears will get on the field Friday afternoon at Olivet Nazarene University a full 15 minutes before the Minnesota Vikings do at Minnesota State, Mankato.

As we found out last year, my schedule is sometimes subject to change. But my goal is to spend three days at each NFC North venue and as of now, here's how I plan to divide up the next few weeks:
- I'll be with the Bears through Sunday afternoon's practice.
- Then it's on to Detroit to see the Lions from Aug. 2-4.
- From there, I'll head to Green Bay, where I will remain through Saturday in a valiant attempt to see the Family Night scrimmage I missed out on last year.
- Finally, I'll head to Mankato, Minn., to check out the Vikings for a few days starting Aug. 9.
Let's have a great 2010 season.
