Another season of NFL is upon us. When the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders square off tomorrow, it will be the first NFL Preseason football game of the year. It is the annual Hall of Fame Game held in Canton, Ohio.

On this weekend, the first African-American quarterback Warren Moon was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. It is only fitting that both teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Oakland Raiders have starting African-Americans quarterbacks: the Eagles' Donovan McNabb and Oakland Raiders' Aaron Brooks.

More often, the first NFL Preseason is a painful experience to watch. You might see the starters for a quarter or two, then it's a guess, who might show up on the field. Still, I am happy as a lamb that NFL action is back. Sometimes, I wish the NFL season lasted all year around, but that's being too greedy.
