Yesterday, the long-awaited first Sunday of the football season commenced. To that I say, thank God, because summer sports don't hit the same. You've got baseball every day, which isn't as easy to get invested in. You don't have that one special day a week where your team plays: every day could be a great day in baseball, but you don't have the psychic powers to know which day that will be. In football, you have your weekly special day to watch the big game. No matter what happens, you know The Big Game will inspire huge emotions within you. You'll cry, scream, curse, and have a way better Sunday night than anyone spending their evening not watching football.
The beginning of the NFL football season means fall has truly started. Sorry to college, football, but the NFL is built different. If you missed the various big games yesterday, you can catch up via this list of NFL football-themed tweets.
