Last night while watching a less than impressive performance from the Vikings and Steelers, I sat with a huge smile on my face while I ate wings and enjoyed a few beers. The game itself had little to do with it. There wasn't a lot of scoring going on (14-3, Vikings), it wasn't full of spectacular plays, hell, we didn't even get to see Adrian Peterson touch the field! However, none of that even mattered. The only great thing was the fact that FOOTBALL IS BACK! After what seemed like an abbreviated eternity, America's game has returned. Man caves all around the world will be filled with assorted adult beverages and most unhealthy of foods. This is the time of year that men dream about. Football season is a time honored tradition that cannot be matched. If nothing else, it's a reason to test out all your new grill accessories and talk s*** with you buddies. Remember this feeling. Cherish it. Live it! You'll need it to get through the next off season. As for now, be a fan. There is nothing like kicking back with good friends and enjoying the greatest game on turf...
