And now, will you please join me in prayer. I think you know what I'm whispering to folded hands, don't you?

July 31, is probably my favorite day of the sports year. Sure, it almost always ends up being a letdown, but don't most things really?

As we've done the last few years, post your deadline day comments here and if you see a good link... please share it. Together, we can religiously check the same six rumor sites constantly for the next twelve or so hours. And if you get really bored, don't forget to recap Dayton's past deadlines.
