The empty feeling begins to set in around the second Sunday of February, when it becomes clear that there is going to be no pro football on the box. For the next six months, apart from going to church, there will be no reason to get up on Sunday mornings. To try and fill the emptiness, the NFL football fan turns to the NFL total offensive and defensive rankings. It's never too early to prepare for the next season.
There are plenty of ways to deaden the pain. There may still be football-themed apps to download on both tablet computer and smart phone. This is a good time to begin what you promise yourself every year, that you will learn the names and statistics about each of the players starting in that glorious day in September when it all kicks off again for another year.
In early February, there are probably still people discussing why the NFL don't supply all the balls instead of leaving it to the individual teams. For a few weeks after the Super Bowl, there are still a few people who care. What is the optimum number of pounds per square inch, and is it really advantageous to the offensive team if the ball is overinflated or underinflated? Maybe cultivate an interest in basketball, while it is still being televised.
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?
Easter usually occurs in April. This can provide a brief respite from the gloom of no Sunday or Monday Night football. The weather in most parts of the country is still not quite right for barbecues, but there is plenty to do in the back yard to get ready for summer socializing. Now would be a good time to get a head start on that spreadsheet you have been promising yourself so you can keep closer track of the players' stats next season. Fill in the data for last year so you can be prepared to compare the numbers with this in the forthcoming season.
May. The weather is getting nicer but, until Memorial Day, not quite right for the barbecue. But now you have a goal, get that back yard ready by the end of the month. Dust the cobwebs off the garden furniture and give it a good rinse. Mow the lawn. Work on your spreadsheet.
The scene starts to brighten up a bit in June, and not just the weather. You might find a few people lurking in the forums. If you post something, especially if you misspell it, you might be able to get involved in a lively discussion on grammar.
Ah, the hot summer months of July and August. Hope is on the horizon. Fill your time with garden parties and in the blink of an eye, it's September and time for the opening match of the new season. Now, instead of filling your time, you can be filling your fridge with beer and wings. Don't forget the potato chips. Life, and Sunday afternoons, have meaning again.
