Are You Ready For Some Football?

Well, it’s that time of year once again: the leaves are falling, the weather is cool and the smell in the air is unmistakable. Of course, folks, I’m talking about the arrival of football season.

For fans and players alike, the advent of another season brings with it the chance to start anew. It’s a time of hope, a time of optimism … a time when things like “last season was a fluke --- this is our year, baby!” are heard throughout office buildings and drinking establishments alike. It’s a special time of the year, indeed.

For all of the high school players that have been preparing endlessly since the end of last season, the moment of truth has come. The marching bands are beating their drums, the proud parents are on the edge of their seats, the stadium lights of Friday night are aglow … electricity is in the air.

And then, of course, there are the Fantasy Football die-hards. Millions across the country have been waiting with feverish anticipation to see how the upcoming season plays out. Money will change hands, championship trophies will be hoisted … tears will be shed. And all this time you thought Fantasy Football was just a game for nerds!

So whether you’re rooting for your favorite NFL team or your college alma mater, or you’re a player, coach, or general manager (in a Yahoo! league) --- good luck to you this season! And if things go from bad to worse in a hurry, remember: there’s always next year.
