It's here folks! The month of September has arrived! The ninth month of the calendar year, and the first of the four months that end in "-ber," I do love the month of September, and not just as a sports fan. Here's what the month of September brings us:

MLB - The MLB season will start the beginning of the end once the calendar turns to September. September is the last full month of the regular season, and that's when the games are at their most important. Postseason berths and division titles will be on the line during this month, with games featuring teams who are in the hunt receiving a massive spotlight. Regarding this year, the MLB regular season ends on September 29.

NFL - While baseball does end, the NFL begins in September. I'm old enough to remember when the NFL season used to start on Labor Day Weekend, and I still remember the 1997 season actually starting on August 31--while the world was still reeling from the death of Princess Diana. The 2024 season starts on September 5 with the back-to-back defending Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, hosting the Baltimore Ravens--a rematch of last year's AFC Championship contest.

TV - As big as September is in the sports world, it's much bigger in the world of television. September marks the start of a new TV season. Well, it usually does. Most TV shows debut their new seasons (or just debut overall) in September, and in some cases, shows kick off their final seasons. The season or series premieres usually hit in mid-September, though some premieres hit in October (especially the horror-related shows). So yeah, a lot of people's DVRs will be set this month, as our favorite shows will return.

September is quite an awesome month with a lot of good things to look forward to, and I'm here for it big time!
