Is the NFL back? Our middle granddaughter who is academically at/near the top of her high school sophomore class; lives and breathes soccer; is an accomplished painter and sculptor; is her class treasurer; won recognition (and money award) in the New York Times photography contest two or three years ago; has been asked to "run" the high school robotics club in lieu of simply being a member of the club; and the list goes on. Today, I learned that she is playing Fantasy Football with her soccer friends, and is upset that she picked the wrong "Cook," but fortunately she "has him sitting on the bench and he's not hurting her line-up too much."

Yes,  I would say the NFL is back. 

And, the NASCAR playooffs continue.

Cocktails: I've quit drinking martinis, but this might be good for the archives.
