'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk.

It runs Monday–Friday on OutKick.com .

Middle Friday of August.

We're here.

We're in the thick of it, folks.

We had football last night .

We have football tonight.

We have football tomorrow.

Sure, none of it counts and most of the good players are in street clothes on the bench, but whatever.

It's our first kinda-sorta football weekend since early January.

A tuneup, of sorts.

A test run.

It's preseason for us fans, too.

We have to knock the rust off as well, and we don't have a lot of time to do it.
