Kickoff is right around the corner and we can almost taste the hot wings. Soon we'll have four months of Sundays where we ignore the outside world, plop down in that recliner and lose ourselves in quarterbacks, cheerleaders and defensive schemes. We yell at the TV. We hate the guy in the room rooting for the other team. We blow the rest of our week's paycheck on cheap beer and artery-clogging meals. Every Sunday is like a little vacation from life's B.S.
The beauty of the NFL is that no matter how many questions we ask or previews we read, the answers remain vague. So why waste your time with long, in-depth reports that most likely mean nothing in a few weeks? We combined our knowledge of the league into the quick, artistic 5-7-5 format of haikus to give you the only NFL Preview worth reading.

Frozen tundra cheese.
