Right now, at this exact moment, I can see into the future. The Lions start today at 1:00 PM Eastern. Fine, maybe 4:25 PM. Look, just check your phone. It’s faster than asking your friend who always says “I think it’s at..?” and then trail off into oblivion.
But here’s the real truth: the game starts when you’re sitting on the couch, snacks in hand, ready to yell at the TV. That’s the only time that matters. And I’ll be right there with you, probably texting you “did you see that?!” a second after it happens.
Go Lions. Or whatever. Just don’t be late. The first snap is sacred.
