When is football season going to start?

It's almost the most wonderful time of the year. No, I'm not talking about Christmas, although Christmas does take place during the NFL season. I'm talking about the sport that makes every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in the autumn worth it: football. If you're one of those people who thinks that football is played at the World Cup, then these memes are not for you. If you're a college kid who only goes to college football games for the first half because you're three sheets to the wind from the block party pregame, these memes aren't for you either. This one is for the huge NFL fans who will be loyal to their teams no matter how miserable it makes them. They're for my mom, who will be a Chicago Bears fan for her whole life, no matter how much they disappoint her. They're for my best friend, who is still reeling from the Carolina Panthers' loss in the 2004 Super Bowl, when she was just 10 years old. They're for whoever is still rooting for the Arizona Cardinals in this day and age. If you are loyal to your team no matter what, these NFL memes are for you.
