You know you're deep into the NFL offseason when the top story over Memorial Day weekend revolved around uneasy negotiations between Mike Vick and the Falcons toward a one-day retirement contract.

The news cycle has slowed, no doubt, but the good news is every day that passes on the calendar takes us one step closer to real football. Sometimes the inexorable march of time, the prison into which all humankind is born, works in our favor.


Tuesday puts us exactly 100 days away from Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots, Week 1.

To celebrate the 100-day marker, the warriors in the NFL Media Research Department have put together some notable 100 stuff from the 2016 season. Let's have a look.
