Happy Labor Day to everyone who don't want Summer to end so soon. While the first day of autumn doesn't come until the twenty-second of September, Summer Vacation will end today, which means Back to School for all you students. I hope really hope I have something interesting to do this fall other than stay at home all time, my future with KlicK-Net seems to be up in the air. In the meantime, the chase for the Pennant is up in the air and we will be discussing the playoff standings leading into October as well as the Kickoff to the 2016 NFL Season starting this Thursday. So far, the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers lead their respective league with 89 plus games won, last year's World Series contenders New York Mets and Kansas City Royals are fighting to get into the Wild Card, and I'm not saying it possible, but if those two teams fight hard enough, we could see a rematch from last year. WWE is gearing up for its first SmackDown exclusive pay-per-view in years with Backlash looming this Sunday on the day that the whole wide world remembers, 9/11.
