Messi finally got back from the marketing trip and the sabbatical to the training camp. Before the first training camp, the whole team partied again so that friends can say hi to every one and talk about the off-season experiences. Some of them got drunk, so they were a bit late for the next day's training - Messi was one of them. The coach was unhappy for the lateness of the veteran players since they should have been the role model of the rookies. Messi was penalized by running back and forth in the pitch for about 50 miles, and 30K dollars. Rule is a rule. While Messi grudgingly accept his penalty, he noticed the impressive new talents and the growth of the young players (including himself). The S28 new players are Saleem Spence and Stumpy Jones, a great wide receiver and a lineman for the offensive line. It is great to see two more players on the offense team, especially Stumpy Jones to enhance the offensive line of Sailfish. The young players also grew well. The running back Bianchi and WR Radetzky got much faster and agile than the previous season. With a strengthened offensive line and WRs, Mike Jr (QB) cannot stop smiling in the first training.
