It’s August. And for some that means summer vacations, back to school, sultry summer nights; but for most Americans it means FOOTBALL is on TV. Now the regular season doesn’t start in the NFL til Sept. Who cares?! It’s this point in the summer that football fans are getting desperate for any form of the game. Oh and there’s some other stuff* going on too. SO check out our August Watch List!
*Please note that MLB games are not on our watch list, but with 182 regular season games per team, we think its intuitive to assume there’s still tons of baseball on, so check your local listings.
