Similar to Christmas morning, opening weekend in the NFL is met with an intense level of joy and excitement. Tomorrow, we will yet again have “7 Hours of commercial free football” for the first time in 245 days. It is time to rejoice!
This time of year also brings out many folks who enjoy placing a wager or two on football. My “gambling” story is a cherished one – as I started participating in the family NFL pick em pool at the ripe age of 7. Me, my Dad, my younger brother, my best friend, his brother and Dad would pack our basement every Sunday morning.
