NFL Kickoff is tomorrow night. Soon we'll have four months of Sundays when we ignore smart life choices, glue our asses to our couches, eat an entire farm's worth of chicken wings, drink "Animal House"-like quantities of beer and make our girlfriends question why they can't just marry their gay best friend.
It's time to yell at the TV! It's time curse an offensive tackle's entire family because he missed a blocking assignment! It's time to really half-ass work on Mondays! It's time to read fantasy football stats closer than you read your last employee contract!
Before that happens, though, we want to make you feel intelligent. That's why we're presenting you some poetry. Not any of that Shakespeare or Maya Angelou crap though. We've condensed our NFL knowledge into the quick, artistic 5-7-5 format of haikus to give you the only NFL Preview worth reading.
