Now that our favorite celebrities have made it legal last weekend, it looks like things will be a little on the slow side, but it all depends on where you live. Summer’s last days are upon us, but you still have some time to go out and barbeque, lay around the pool and have a good time before back-to-school and fall weather are here. And football – yes, football! – is back. The NFL plays its first exhibition game of the season Sunday.
