Only 10 weeks until the NFL regular season begins and our lives have meaning again.

When you are sitting back playing Madden 2018 and trading every draft pick you have for Julio Jones and Von Miller you are missing the NFL. When you are playing golf with the boys just to pass time you are missing the NFL. And when you aren't rushing home on Sunday's to catch the game your life is left a little more empty.

So here are a few things to get you through the summer.

July 2nd - 15th Wimbledon - Grab a fancy English beer and tell the wife and kids how much you love Marin Cilic. 

July 4th - USA - Beers, brawts and America.  

July 15th - World Cup Finals - Sure it's on at 7 am Eastern, breakfast beer? Bloody Mary or just drink like you are at a crazy English pub.

July 17th - MLB All-Star Game - Again beers, brawts and America's favorite past time. 

August 2 - NFL Pre-Season Hall of Fame game - yes it's the NFL no it's not football. 

August 9-12 - PGA Championship - Hey this is an entire weekend. If you don't know who's leading after the first round how can you know who you like on Sunday? 

August 27-September 9th - US Open Tennis - "Yes honey I love tennis and there's an American who could win this year (only a white lie)"

September 1 - College Football Kickoff - this is enough to get you to the home stretch. 

And you've survived. You are welcome. For those outside of the USA I know there are some great rugby, cricket, and Priemere League games. Enjoy your summer everyone and we'll see Chris Collinsworth, Troy Aikman, and Joe Buck soon enough.
