That’s right, everybody. Soon the leaves will resemble the machinations of a children’s coloring book, and then fade to the ground. But don’t despair! We’ve got football, and I’ve got my Chicago Bears.

What’s that? You want to hear my predictions? Well, let’s say the Bears ought to get to the Super Bowl and win 72-3. Case closed.

But I would be remiss if I didn’t include some tracks to commemorate the beginning of the season:

The Who–Eminence Front
It’s not about style, it’s about winning the game folks. As Dustin Hoffman says in Confidence, “Style gets you killed.”

K-Os–Sunday Morning
Every day is like Saturday night, but I can’t wait ’till Sunday morning.

Jens Lekman–Sipping on the Sweet Nectar
…of victory, that is. Go Bears.
