41 days and counting...
>> Friday
Well it's that time of year again. The Brewers are quickly driving themselves out of playoff contention, and I'm developing a serious itch for football.
The first real football game is 41 days away (the first Div. I-A college football game). Like every other year, that's too far away. Luckily for football enthusiasts like myself, there are other events that are almost football.
The most popular almost-football event is the NFL preseason, which begins Aug. 6, in 16 days. But for me and 72,000+ Packer fans, that is just not soon enough. So on Aug. 5 we're going to Lambeau Field for the annual Family Night Scrimmage. That's right, the Packers sell out a scrimmage - 72,000 people looking for something, anything, that resembles a football game.
And while football has not returned to us yet, you know we're getting close with the return of Jason Whitlock, the football expert I respect most, who will be recognized by all YCS members as a genius.
Of course, there's always offseason news. For example, former Wisconsin Badger Booker Stanley is looking to spend the rest of his life in prison. Couple that with Brent Moss' continued coke problems and all of a sudden Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne's "underachieving" career looks pretty good in comparision to other former Badger backs.
Well, I guess all we can do for now is wait, and bust out the old Madden games.
Coming soon, your YCS NFL predictions...

Are you INSANE? Jason Whitlock is an absolute clown.
Oh Nathan, Nathan...don't you know that life's too short to be counting down? Remember--41 days from now will also be 41 days closer to life without baseball, as well as our looming demise.
Now THERE'S a cheery thought.
