By Aaron Holm -
Welcome to the first in a long string of the laziest Sunday's in the USA. Football officially kicked off its season on Thursday, but today the real fireworks are set to go off.
For a lot of people this means endless wings, cold beer, chips with dip, and of course 2 football teams beating each other into oblivion for 60 minutes and then hugging it out afterwords. For me, today is not only about football, but a reminder that hockey is right around the corner. It's like my 2-minute warning before training camp kicks off.
Today's walk features what some might call an oldie, which isn't entirely untrue but it's certainly not as old as what I brought to you in Friday's walk. At any rate, enjoy your walk, enjoy your football. SKOL VIKINGS!

Pretty blatant of the Colorado Rapids goal keeper, and it just went down hill for the Rapids from there. Also, great tribute by the LA Galaxy, all wearing 'Luca' arm bands to show their support for Luca DeLaGarza, infant son of AJ DeLaGarza. Luca passed away Thursday afternoon due to complications from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Luca was just a week old.
