Today is the final day of August, though as long as you don’t own a thermometer summer ended some time ago. It’s hard to still think it’s “summer” when you’re a full week into the school year, regardless of whether it’s 95 degrees out.

Today is the final preseason game for my hometown Redskins, with but a week to go before the NFL season kicks off for real.

Nice.

This weekend? Sweet, sweet college football, with some Top 25 matchups already on the bill.

This, my friends, is the greatest part of the sports year.
