Football. Is. Almost. Here.
We have some actual football tonight. Well, it’s the NFL preseason schedule but whatever. It’s still the first game of the year as the Indianapolis Colts will take on the Green Bay Packers in the 2016 NFL Hall of Fame game from Canton, Ohio.
The Colts sent Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night while the Packers saw Brett Favre enshrined (and Favre mentioned Andy Reid in his Hall of Fame speech).
Andrew Luck is back. Aaron Rodgers probably won’t play much if at all (also, he doesn’t like the extra preseason game). But, hey, it’s still football!
The Chiefs are still a week away from playing when they meet the Seattle Seahawks next week for their first preseason game. The Hall of Fame game is always a week before the start of everyone else’s preseason games. A little teaser before everyone else gets to play.
