Behold this day and be glad.

After a few weeks of inconsequential games the NFL season officially kicks off tonight. Finally fans of a real major sport will get their fill of bad food, good beer, and a game that displays real athletic diversity. Hard hitting play is back and I for one am glad.

One of the blessed parts of the NFL season is time spent with friends. Whether it's at home watching the game on a HD big screen or going to a local bar and drooling over a hot waitress football brings the camaraderie unlike few other forms of entertainment.

Lets not forget my Fantasy Football team, the Nashville Tax Burdens, who will undoubtedly kick an unreal amount of ass this year. Since they have the smartest, dead sexiest owner in all of fantasy football I have faith they'll do well. After all players don't work hard for their team or their community, but for me.
