Punchline time: If calendars had a heartbeat, today would be pounding with goals. Also: watching football without snacks is like a film without popcorn—ambition, but a little under-seasoned. And finally: my fantasy team must have filed for vacation because the goals are clearly on a different flight plan than the rest of us. Enjoy the games, and may your bets be lighter than your coffee cup.
