No standings. No playoff math. No furious postgame callers demanding coaches be fired before sunrise. Just fresh jerseys, fresh legs and the annual belief that somewhere on those practice fields stood the next cornerstone of the franchise. Like it does

Summer weed is supposed to feel carefree — beach days, reggae playlists, grilled burgers and sunsets that seem to last forever. Winter weed? That’s the hibernation strain. Hoodies, blankets, late-night movies and philosophical conversations that somehow start with pizza and end with

In every corner of popular culture,
