SAN DIEGO -- The weather is perfect (of course) and players are starting to trickle onto the field at Qualcomm Stadium for today's 3:15 p.m. CT game.

Game faces are not yet being worn though. Center John Sullivan just tried what looked sort of like an onside kick to fellow lineman Pat Brown. Looked pretty good, too. Sullivan also is practicing shotgun snaps. The specialists, Chris Kluwe, Ryan Longwell and Cullen Loeffler, also are checking out the field.

I'll give some updates later on. Now, back to wondering why we all haven't moved here.
