Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks: The NFL Season Kicks Off. Finally.
The Games are Back
Richard Sherman :: Robert Beck/SI
The NFL season kicked off with a bang last night (for most, anyway) as the Seahawks decimated the Packers with a 36-16 victory.Aaron Rodgers had a largely forgettable night (except for his Butte Community College shout out) while Richard Sherman had a dream stat line for a cornerback. The Seahawks were in control most of the game, which led to the Seattle PD trolling Green Bay with this epic tweet, while the fans followed their "how to be a winner" instruction guide and stayed out of trouble.
Meanwhile in Flushing
While the Seahawks were pounding the Packers, Roger Federer saved two match points to defeat Gael Monfils in one of the best tennis matches of the year. On the bright side for Monfils, he still has his cult fans and Cherry Coke to nurse him through the loss.

Orioles fan (he really had no choice) Camden Yards visited Camden Yards for Thursday's game against the Reds. Yes, that's his real name.

An Embarrassing GIF of Every NFL Quarterback

I know this has nothing to do with sports but tell me you don't want to see a KFC keyboard, mouse and USB stick.
