It's here. Football is for real. No pointless preseason games that lead to season-ending injuries to star players. Just ask Julian Edelman and Spencer Ware. While we enjoyed having any type of football back on our television sets, it's for real this time. 

The first game will kick off Sunday morning when the New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Not excited? We don't blame you. But there could still be some relevance there, even if we're not interesting in the specific game itself. From there, it gets much better.
