When I was a kid growing up in Union City, summer days were spent leaving my house in the morning, then coming home for dinner at 5 o'clock, then going back outside and not coming home until my ever expanding curfew. I couldn't imaging wanting to stay in the house all day, but I had heard tell of parents who actually had to throw their kids out of the house to get them to play outside. I never thought that I would become one of them.

Wednesday, after weeks of watching my sons play Madden 17 all day (when they're not watching the NFL Network 24/7), I decided to go old school and throw them out of the house. It was a beautiful sunny day in New Jersey and they should be enjoying it outside. Hopefully, they'll like it and I'll be able to get some work done in my office which houses guess what... Madden 17!
