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.
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 Never mind the fact that they will be all out of date by the time next season rolls around.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.
This time of year, you may still find die-hard fans on the football forums discussing why the frack the NFL don't supply all the balls to all the teams, like other major league sports leagues do. This question hasn't been adequately answered in the hours of discussions held so far. If you are bilingual, sports-wise, there are plenty of basketball games on television.
By March, you still have withdrawal symptoms. Only Formula One can save you now. Not a race fan? Try digging in the garden for a while.
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.
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.
July and August are the summer holiday months. Time for barbecues and vacations. Before you know it, it's the end of August and the first game of the season is just around the corner. You've tested your new spreadsheet to Kingdom Come and back, all you need is some hard, real data to start plugging in. It is finally time to check the stores' websites to find the best deals on beer, wings and potato chips. It's the new season!
