Today's a football day, no question. With the first game of the season tonight, everyone's abuzz about football. Especially in New York, as the Giants prepare to raise their Super Bowl banner in just six hours. In preparation for this, everybody's taking the time to make sure everything is in order - that they have plans for tonight's game, that their fantasy lineups are set, that their survival pool picks are in, so on and so forth. If you hate football, it's not a very pleasant day.
However, here's something to brighten your day. Those of us who don't feel like it's really hockey season unless they have a fantasy hockey team to follow are in luck. Yahoo has, at long last, unveiled this year's game. Details are a bit iffy at the moment (read: fantasy sites are blocked at my job), but it should be the same greatness as we're accustomed to. It's funny how everyone defaults to Yahoo for fantasy sports, even though there are better sites out there.
Anyway, if you want to start working on your pre-season scouting for sleepers, busts, and clever team names, you are now able to do so. We'll probably have some kind of fantasy thing before the season begins, and it'll almost certainly include Zach talking about the importance of faceoffs. For now, though, take the Giants and the points tonight, the Eagles in your survival pool, and enjoy this night of football with the knowledge that hockey is just four weeks away.
P.S. I bet Madden mentions Brett Favre before they even sing the National Anthem.
