Fall near, football season begins
D. FENCE! D. FENCE! It’s that time of year again. Pull out your hoodies and foam fingers; your beer cozies and the ability to clap in sync. It’s the first day of the season for the NFL and everyone is talking quarterbacks: Tom Brady, Brett Favre, and…Michael Vick. The best competitors at the U.S. Open continue towards the final rounds, but American teenager tennis phenom Melanie Oudin lost last night. Here to tell us what to watch out for out on the field is The Takeaway’s sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin. And he’s even got some gossip for those of you that don’t take a liking to men in helmets and shiny pants. (Gasp!)
