With the Super Bowl over, we've entered the quietest two weeks of the NFL news year until July fourth. Next week, after the Pro Bowl, is as close to completely dead as possible. I remember a few years back when a Drew Henson workout dominated the headlines for three straight days.

There are no press conferences, only rumors about cap cuts, and not much else. A great deal of the writers who cover football take a vacation, including yours truly.

I'm headed to tropical Tokyo, a wondrous land where I'm of average height. There I will try to explain what fantasy football is to my fiance's extending family, using the six Japanese words I know.

Thanks to everyone who has visited this blog in it's infancy over the last month on NBC and Rotoworld. I'll be back blogging at full force again on February 18th, just in time to cover the week of the Scouting Combine. The second installment of my free agent preview posted today. Evan Silva will be your NFL news guide until I'm back. Enjoy.
