If you’re like us, your fantasy football expectations have already crumbled and exploded just four days into the season. Whether that’s been good or bad news, the time’s right to crack a beer and consider what else lies ahead this week including prime new opportunities to celebrate and swear off fantasy sports forever—usually on the same night.
With MLB pennant fever turning serious, other sports happenings range from the awesomely goofy, such as fun ballpark promotional nights in L.A. and Kansas City, to the potentially shocking—namely, the Oscar Pistorius murder trial verdict. There’s also a birthday of a pro golf great that comes with its own tasty way to celebrate. The tech world is entirely hyped up, too, as Apple has been teasing a major new announcement on Tuesday. That same night, Sons of Anarchy roars back on FX for its finally season.
Here are the fourteen best things to do this week.
