Why You Should Never Fully Trust Offseason BS

Allen misses first practice; Burnett signs (Matt Mosley, Dallas Morning News)

As practice begain at 9 a.m., Allen stood alone in shorts and a T-shirt on a vacant practice field as his teammates went through drills.

He was the only player who failed the conditioning test according to club officials.

Allen, whom coaches had praised for having an excellent off-season, could end up on the team's physically-unable-to-perform list.

Coach Bill Parcells, who will hold his daily news conference today at 1:30 p.m. (CT), said Friday that he didn't want any "Korey Stringer situations" alluding to the late Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman who collapsed and died during the team's training camp in 2001.

So, apparently all the BS during the offseason about Allen's excellent work was just that.

Thank goodness training camp is here. The BS from coaches and PR people on various NFL teams ought to drowned out by some actual news.
