Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. We’ve made it through another week and the best part about it all is that the NFL is officially back. The first preseason game of the year took place on Thursday night with the Las Vegas Raiders taking down the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, football will be flooding our timelines as we anticipate the lead-up to the regular season.

As an added bonus, ESPN2 turns into ESPN8: The Ocho for 24 hours on Friday. Add in some MLB action and we’ve got a full slate of entertainment ahead.
