At long last our nightmare is over. Football is back today as the Jaguars' and Raiders' backups take the field tonight in Canton, Ohio. Many of us remember that glorious day so long ago when Tony Boselli was chosen to be the 1st ever draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now here we are, almost three decades later, and he is the first Jaguars player elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A truly wonderful achievement for the man, the franchise, and this city. On the field we should see many of the young players who will challenge for the last 10 spots on this year's roster but many of the starters will be watching from the sidelines the entire game. We also get a first look at new coach Doug Pederson and the staff that we all expect to bring success to our beleaguered fanbase. 

Game time is 8pm EST with a local broadcast on NBC.

Comments, thoughts, observations, and snark to follow throughout the day and evening.
