The Over That Never Happened
The NFL season is here, well sort of. Last week we had our first NFL preseason game between the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans. The Bears won the Hall of Fame Game 21-17 over the Texans.

Hard Knocks has been a great show for the fans of the NFL to get a look inside how franchises go about their business during training camp and what it's really like to be on a professional team.
