Finally, a new season is upon us—and I’m not talking about Fall.

After a 5 month ‘lockout’, with only one casualty (Hall of Fame Game), football season has officially begun.  So far we’ve seen the Superbowl XLV champion, Green Bay, defeat the Saints, a surprising victory for both the 49ers and the Bills and Peyton Manning’s record shattered…by a rookie. With a start like this, the season is sure to not disappoint. So what to do between now and the Superbowl? Sit back, relax and grab your smartphone.
