Given that training camp and the 2010 season pretty much started in August, and since I heard 'Round Here on the radio on the way home from work today (on the Indiana High School low-power FM station in my area), I just HAD to play this solidly deep (more than 3 decent tracks on it) Counting Crows album as I collected stories for this links post. Then I had to use that title as the title. After listening to the album again, I recall that when I bought it in college, I liked one or two songs and that my appreciation of this album really grew as I listened to it more in the late 90's.
Next up in my CD player is Johnny Cash American IV: The Man Comes Around as I finish putting this post together.
What's that? Saints football? Oh yeah, is that the reason we're here? I'm sorry, I must have dropped into some self-indulgent introspection for a paragraph or two.
If you're here for the football, then make the jump to read the tweets, follow the links to the stories, watch the videos, and soak it all in as we are now two days away from bruising the Browns.
If you're here for the music talk, let's start a separate, O-T thread.

miketripletttp Saints CB Jabari Greer did not practice Friday but remains questionable. LB Scott Shanle was limited and is questionable.
miketripletttp As expected, RBs Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush and CB Tracy Porter are out.
miketripletttp Still no word on whether S Darren Sharper will play.
j_bushrod7475 Cold tub... Film study... shape up TIIIMMEEE!!!.... Then chill mode
jeffduncantp Saints RBs P.Thomas & R.Bush & CB T.Porter have been ruled "out" for Browns game. LB Scott Shanle practiced for 1st time & is questionable.
jeffduncantp Knew this was coming. RT @Adam_Schefter: Malcolm Jenkins was fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness, struck TB QB Freeman in the head area.
jeffduncantp Saints CB J.Greer missed his 3rd straight practice but is still listed as questionable for Sunday. Don't count on No. 33 suiting up.
jeffduncantp Unlikely w/signing of Quincy Butler. RT @chrisdhslsu: @jeffduncantp any chance of reggie jones being promoted to 53?
jeffduncantp My guess: Starters, R.Robinson/Torrence; Nickel, Butler or Jenkins. RT @taylorlionnet: Who's our 2nd starter and nickel if jabari can't go
