Check your local listings for an NFL game near you

Have you noticed that football is back on TV? The NFL preseason is in full swing and the countdown is on to opening kickoff on Sept. 7. That's when the Miami Dolphins head into the Terrible Towel territory of Heinz Field, home of the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

A few nuggets to hold you over in the meantime:

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is back on the field after his motorcyle accident earlier this summer. He's slated to start tonight's exhibition matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Adam Vinatieri, the kicker whose heroics helped the New England Patriots to two Super Bowl victories, is now with the Indiapolis Colts. Considering the Colts' season ended last year with a missed field goal, Vinatieri is a welcomed addition in Indy.

The New Orleans Saints will march back into a rebuilt Superdome on Sept. 25 for a Monday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons. Hurricane Katrina left the Superdome in shambles and extensive efforts were made to get the Saints back playing football in New Orleans.
