As if February and the post-Christmas depression wasn't bad enough, the final whistle of the Super Bowl has blown and the NFL season is well and truly over. What to do on a Sunday? Sifting through last season's statistics should keep you occupied for a while. Start with the NFL total offensive and defensive rankings.
You can use this time productively to scrounge around for any football apps you never managed to download to your tablet and/or smart phone. Never mind the fact that they will be all out of date by the time next season rolls around. It keeps you occupied and lessens the withdrawal symptoms.
For most of February, it may still be possible to find people on the discussion forums. Yes, there are still stones left to be unturned on Inflatagate. Why doesn't the NFL supply the balls to everybody on both teams? Are they going broke? That opens up a whole new world on the discussion groups - conspiracy theories.
Come March, there may still be withdrawal symptoms. Followers of Formula One will be able to put the NFL on hold when the first race starts. Sunday afternoons have meaning again! This leaves those who aren't race fans to fend for themselves. Time to start digging the vegetable garden, maybe?
April brings Easter, sowing season for the vegetable garden and probably time to start mowing the lawn again. It's too soon for barbecues, so it's back to the Internet for amusement. Now is a good time to implement all those ideas for setting up spreadsheets just the way you want them so you can track the performances of the teams and players. Do it now, while the ideas are still fresh in your mind.
Then comes May. May is a terrible month. The glory days of last season have long faded, and it is way too soon to start getting excited about the start of the new season. Keep the vegetable garden maintained. Test the new spreadsheets.
June is starting to look promising. Your spreadsheet is halfway full of data, the front lawn is so closely mown you could bounce a quarter off it. You may even find one or two fans in Indonesia or Qatar on the discussion forums. No, wait, they had football confused with soccer, like three quarters of the rest of the planet.
July and August bring the warm, summer months. Time for barbecues, vacations and disentangling the Christmas lights. That spreadsheet was starting to feel like a chore, anyway. You've got tickets for a home game in October. Your biggest problem is deciding whether to buy the sweatshirt, team flag and other paraphernalia ahead of the game, or purchase it at the ground as part of the whole seeing-the-game-in-person experience. Sunday afternoons and Monday nights have meaning again!
