As the nights get cooler and the football season draws near, we wanted to do a quick round-up of some preseason NFL memes.

With all due respect to the XFL, American Football League, and all of the other spring/summer leagues, the NFL is back. And that's where it's at. Nothing else truly compares.

And before we hunker down for the fall, and start staring at our fantasy lineups 24/7, it's nice to just take a breath and look back at how far we've come since last season.

And thanks to the brilliant mastermind, NFL Memes, we've collected some of the most insane, funny, and downright ridiculous memes that Twitter has to offer. Let's take a look back at all of the shenanigans that went down in the offseason. That way we can prepare for hard-hitting, chill in the air, pumpkin spice, autumn leaf football. There's no better season in sports. Let's go!
