Does it feel like the NFL is starting yet? I sure don’t think so. The recent cold snap across the northern U.S. adds to the vibe that autumn has arrived. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the notion that we’re about to see the beginning of a major U.S. sports season in the middle of a number of global crises. Honestly, I feel less prepared for football to start than ever before and that makes me a little nervous.
It’s hard to calibrate our brains for the season after it feels like it arrived so quickly, but it is here, and it is raring to go.
