I can't wait to find out what you might want to chat about in your (presumed) post-draft haze. Bring it and we'll chat, uh, it, at 2 p.m. ET over at SportsNation on Tuesday. One favor: No questions or comments on the coils and polygonal crust in the Athabasca Valles region on Mars. OF COURSE it's evidence for volcanic activity.

The NFL owners meetings conspired to limit our chat opportunities last week, so we're back Tuesday with a vengeance. We have plenty of topics to discuss and a full hour to discuss them. I'll meet you over at SportsNation at 2 p.m. ET and we'll see where it takes us.

It's simple. You ask or comment. I answer or reply. And we all rejoice. See you over at SportsNation today at 2 p.m. ET for our weekly chat. We'll find something to keep us busy.

We're going to chat today, whether you like it or not. WE'VE GOT THE ONLY TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS IN FOOTBALL IN OUR DIVISION, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I can't make any guarantees about whether the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will be Nos. 1-2 in ESPN.com's Week 5 Power Rankings, but you'll know the answer by the time we belly up over at SportsNation at 2 p.m. ET. See you there.

I'm ready if you are. I'm sure we'll find something to chat about over at SportsNation on Tuesday afternoon. Let's say 2 p.m. ET. Call it an extended lunch break.

Sunday marks an NFC North double feature, with the Green Bay Packers playing at the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions traveling to the Minnesota Vikings. It's time for some rival vitriol to surface in our weekly SportsNation chat. I'll be waiting for you at 2 p.m. ET to facilitate it. Chat with you in a few hours.

Hopefully everyone is settling in to the wonderful weekly routine that is the NFL season. As always, that means we have a standing 2 p.m. ET appointment on Tuesdays to chat over at SportsNation. For you blog/chat newcomers, we take questions, comments and complaints on all NFC North topics and occasionally find something off the field to obsess about as well. Television, Will Ferrell movies and surprise packs of squirrels are all fair game. Chat with you in a few hours.

As promised, this week's SportsNation chat has been folded into an all-day NFL Kickoff extravaganza here on Wednesday. Our slot will come one hour later than usual, at 3 p.m. ET, and run for its usual hour. These megachats tend to be a little spicy with the expanded audience, so hold on to your Black and Blue sensibilities as best you can. For those interested, here is the full-day lineup starting at 10 a.m. ET:

10 a.m.: Pat Yasinskas, NFC South blogger
10:30 a.m.: Dan Graziano, NFC East blogger
11 a.m.: Chris Mortensen, senior NFL analyst
Noon: Matt Williamson, Scouts Inc.
1 p.m.: Paul Kuharsky, AFC South blogger
2 p.m.: Bill Williamson, AFC West blogger
2:30 p.m.: Adam Schefter, NFL Insider
3 p.m.: Kevin Seifert, NFC North blogger
4 p.m.: Mike Sando, NFC West blogger

The occasion of opening weekend in the NFL has changed the timing of our SportsNation chat this week. Rather than chatting alone Tuesday afternoon as normal, I'll be part of an all-day megachat Wednesday along with the rest of the ESPN.com NFL Blog Network. I'll update you Wednesday morning on my time slot, but feel free to spend your entire day there. Thanks in advance for your flexibility.

Two weeks into the preseason. Two weeks left. We'll have real football in front of us in TWO WEEKS FROM THURSDAY! So, yes, we have lots to chat about. Engage ... right here at 2 p.m. ET. (Oh, yes, I went Next Generation on you.)

Good grammar is essential, Robin. Our SportsNation chat will take place at the same Bat time (2 p.m. ET) and is accessible through the same Bat link. It will no doubt be a brawl. Pow!

OK. I'm doing it.

Despite the completely unpredictable nature of CampTour'11, I'm going to go ahead and schedule our weekly SportsNation chat. I plan to make my way over there at 2 p.m. ET, as usual (in most weeks).

We've already eliminated a few variables. I made it to the Detroit area late Monday night. And the Lions have moved their practice indoors at 9:15 a.m. ET, making it less likely we'll see a weather delay.

Put it all together, and I think I have a decent chance of making it. I'll let you know if trouble arises. Chat with you soon.

Sorry for the late notice, but travel from Green Bay is going to prevent me from hosting our weekly chat session over at SportsNation.

Hopefully we can pick up at the same time next week.

Our weekly SportsNation chat will coincide with an important meeting of NFL owners in Chicago on the state of the lockout. While they sort out the numberszzzzzzzzzzzz, we'll be hashing through the fun stuff. Come join the party at 2 p.m. ET sharp.
