MADDEN NFL LEAGUE'S OTAs AND TRAINING CAMP (Aug. 26th - Sept. 2nd)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back! Maybe. I laughed while typing that line. But it's true.
Heading into the 2014 season, there is no greater variable than Tampa Bay. And that's largely because, on the player level, there is no greater variable than Josh McCown.
McCown and the Buccaneers are the biggest, most fascinating Training Camp maybe I can remember in quite some time.

CLEVELAND BROWNS
In a city where starting quarterbacks often arrive at the season opener unprepared, or, worse, unprepared and sacked by a giant American flag, naming a starter sooner than later carries benefits. It wont be a surprise who will be starting at QB for Cleveland in the regular season, but teammates have to wonder if its the right decision for the team as we near Training Camp.
Manziel's first Practice with Cleveland. (Video Below). Read more here: maddencfm.boards.net/thread/67/afc-north-league
HOUSTON TEXANS
HOUSTON -- Getting a player from the Houston Texans to talk about the 2013 season is darn near impossible.
The Texans went 2-14 in 2013, their coach was fired and the culture has changed in a big way with new owner (AFC) Commissioner (TJBLAYZE) (tjblayze), hiring Bill O'Brien as Head Coach.
RANDY BULLOCK IN LEAD AS TEXANS KICKER, AND LOOKS TO LOCK IN AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OFF?
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Randy Bullock’s strong finish to the 2013 season has carried over into the 2014 preseason, but Kicker isnt the only role Bullock will have his part in. Find out more here. maddencfm.boards.net/thread/66/afc-south-league
It's clear it's his way or no way. Houston Texans open training camp. Read more here: maddencfm.boards.net/thread/66/afc-south-league
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- New SF owner masiah (IamMasiah) is always good for supplying a vivid verbal painting.
The San Francisco 49ers’ unconventional 1st year Owner was in rare form as the team opens camp in just a few more weeks. IamMasiah's theme for the start of camp was “rebirth.” He enthusiastically went into great detail of what he was feeling as the 49ers continue to assemble as training camp nears.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
The operation to go off site for Training Camp is a massive project, one that new Indianapolis Cots owner, themarvelous1 (themarvelous) and Head Coach, Chuck Pagano believes is invaluable in building team camaraderie and bonding.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
JACKSONVILLE – The story is the story until it’s no longer the story.
The story around the Jaguars, of course, is quarterback. And if the last few days are indication, it’s going to be that way for a while around EverBank Field.
That’s the tricky news for the Jaguars, that with rookie Blake Bortles performing better and better so far each time he plays, it’s going to be hard if not impossible to get people stop talking All-Bortles-All-The-Time. Such is the terrain with a future franchise quarterback and a New Owner in zajix (Zajix)

REGULAR SEASON (Sept. 10th - Oct. 16th)
REVENGE OF FAIL MARY (Reg. Week 1)
MADDEN NFL LEAGUE'S OTAs AND TRAINING CAMP (Aug. 26th - Sept. 2nd)
Training camp is used in several different ways. New players and coaches use it to acclimate themselves to new teammates and systems. For younger players, it serves as a period of evaluation; for veterans, it is time to round back into form. Here in our Madden 15 League, Training Camp will start August 26th and end September 2nd. To get the full season schedule, visit here. (Posted 8/14/2014)
STORIES AROUND THE LEAGUE
CHECK OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM WEEK 1 OF THE PRESEASON (9/2/14)
(DAL) Brandon Weeden proves in Week 1 that he should be the starter in Dallas. Should he get the start? (SD) Danny Woodhead exposes Jason Garrets Run Defense chalking up over 160 yards on the ground. (SEA) Jeron Johnson may have clinched a roster spot in Week 1's win over Denver racking up 3 INTS. (CHECK OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS BELOW)
LEAGUE OPENER: DENVER BRONCOS 27 VS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 17 (8/30/14)
Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos (@saintsrus29) hosted Russel Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (Linq212) in our Madden 15 League Opener earlier today. And it was nothing less then spectacular all the way to the finish. But you shouldn't have expected a blowout, Manning spoke with reporters yesterday, saying "we cant forget, nor will we ever forget. But this is a new year, and a new team" and they definitely didnt look like the "Blowout Bloopers" from last years Superbowl championship. The Broncos out did Seattle in every facet of the game but only managed to win by 7 points with a 24-17 victory over the reigning champs. Manning finshed 22/32 and threw for 233 yards and 2 TDs. Seattle can look at there run game and be satisfied as Marshawn Lynch torched Denvers run DEF for 122 yards. All in all, it was a great day for Madden football. Check out the highlights from the game. (Video below)
NEW YORK JETS (8/25/14)
New York Jets owner ghernandez14 announced Saturday that Geno Smith would be the team's Week 1 starter, making official what had long been obvious. Smith was solid in the opening season OTAs. Michael Vick also played well in limited action with the second teams offense, but he never truly had a chance in the competition. To add insult to injury, New York seems to be working out some deals with numerous teams in getting something out of nothing for Michael Vick in a trade. Find out where Vick might be traded here.

AFC Power Poll: Broncos, Patriots alone at the top
It's been AFC Week on Around The League. Ive previewed the conference on the podcast, predicting every playoff team. I also broke down each division, team-by-team, on the website.
As part of the previews, I have submitted season predictions in the form of a power ranking of the league based on your Madden 25 Rankings and team's roster you have selected on Madden 15.. While there will be plenty of disagreements among the group, the list below represents the average of all of my predictions. Essentially, these are our consensus picks. We ranked them by conference, with league rank in parentheses.
A CLASS ALL THEIR OWN

Regular Season: Week 1: Game of the Week: The Green Bay Packers VS the Seattle Seahawks. They're calling it, "Revenge Of The Fail Mary", and heres why...
