Seen this in the local rag this AM. Thought some of the old school guys might enjoy it:
Full article at this link. You may have to answer a couple of stupid questions to read the article.
One of the former morbid joys for many football fans on summer days was stopping by an NFL training camp during vacation and watching stars and wannabes work through steamy two-a-days.
While onlookers sipped icy drinks and lounged on the lush grass, coaches would have their troops on the brink of exhaustion during drills that often lasted three hours.
Those grueling days are gone, though, and likely never coming back.
Thanks to the current collective bargaining agreement between NFL clubs and NFL Players Association, only one padded workout per day is permitted during camp. Technically, there still are two practices, but a one-hour walk-through in shorts and T-shirts isn’t a test of stamina.
Players spend almost as much time in meetings.
Former Cowboys standout Bob Lilly, a Hall of Famer out of TCU who was the team’s first-ever draft choice, remembers a whole different world when he started out under coach Tom Landry.
It’s a wonder anyone survived.
“My first year, we had four weeks of two-a-days,” Lilly matter-of-factly told the Journal . “We were an expansion team (1960) and in 1961 we trained at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. My third week, I was fortunate enough to play in the (college) all-star game and we had a week of two-a-days there. By time I got back, half my buddies were gone.”
That season the Cowboys even played an exhibition game in University Stadium vs. the New York Giants, losing 28-10.
