Can you feel it?

I know you can.

It's only July 20, but the best time of the year is approaching.

Soon, evening walks around the neighborhood will require a light jacket. In the distance, the squeal of whistles and the popping of pads will be heard. The temperature will drop, the leaves will change and you'll have to hang a "reserved" sign on Friday nights. Family dinners or date night to the movies will have to wait for another season.

All sports are great, sure. You'll be hard pressed to find a sport I haven't played or don't like.

But there's nothing quite like football. There's nothing quite like football season.

And it's almost here.
