No practice right?

No news it seems

What do these teams do on Saturdays?

From seeing the silly "fun bets" these guys lose, like Brady wearing the Michigan St. gear, I think a lot of them get together and watch college games........

Not sure what a road team's schedule is like, but I remember going to see the Eagles practice on Saturday morning in 1979. If I remember correctly, it was a walkthrough type of practice, maybe an hour long.

It's not like they give them the day off, though. I'm guessing a lot of meetings.

I believe they have an early morning run through.

Last week I was following Steven Jackson on twitter on Saturday and he mentioned being in the training room early afternoonish and saying there were only a few guys left at the facility.

Going by tweets alot of them sit and watch college football. Probably pulling for the Alma Mater

Maybe some last minute corrections in the morning, but not much else unless they are traveling.

Typically, there's a meeting at 8:00AM to review Friday's practice, then a walk-thru. Family are usually allowed to be around on Saturdays. If it's a road game, the players will shower & take a bus to the airport. For a home game, they're free until they have to be at the team hotel by 8:00PM.

Once at the hotel, they'll have a meeting about any last minute stuff & go over the Special Teams rotations. After that, they split up into offense & defense, usually watch a video, & tie up any loose ends.

I think they get together on their PS3s and play a game called (I think) Average Joe 2K10. This way they get a tase of what it's like for you and me.
