Who is ready to run through a damn wall right now? I sure as hell am. Forget about dreams. I’m also all in on nightmares now.
I’m ready to destroy some empires and fight in a war. Gruden might need to oversee our entire military if he’s out here giving speeches like this one.

If you’re not juiced for “Hard Knocks” starting with the Raiders August 6, then you’re not a real football fan. It’s going to be absolutely incredible.

On a side note, I need to start finding excuses to give speeches like this in the office ASAP. There’s no way you can fail in life when taking Gruden’s advice on nightmares and dreams.
Now, please excuse me as I find a brick wall to run through to get my Saturday started.
