Sign of the season

National Football League season that is. Tonight is the first game of the season, the Minnesota Vikings at the New Orleans Saints. I'm sure I won't stay up until the end of the game though I'll be rooting hard for the Saints as the Vikings are in my beloved Green Bay Packers' NFC North division. They'll be duking it out for the division title, both have potent offenses while the Vikings defense is quite good and the Packers' is getting better in the new system they began using last season. Unlike the other major American sports the NFL is the only one that I'll watch most every game I can and if the Packers are on I'll stay up for the late games. I don't have Direct TV and the NFL package so I can't watch every game they play so when Green Bay plays on one of the regular channels I try to make sure I'm in front of a TV.
