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 Never mind the fact that they will be all out of date by the time next season rolls around.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, the withdrawal symptoms should be dampening off but they won't be completely gone. It depends on how many reruns of "Game of Thrones" you can tolerate at any one time. Learn a new language, like Formula One. The first race of the season usually takes place in March in some strange country where you can never figure out if they are "n" hours ahead or behind your local time zone. Hey, just working that out should eat up some desperate, football-free hours.
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. May is a tough month. None of the websites have been updated. There's nobody on the forums to argue with. Keep working in the yard. Tinker with your spreadsheets. Explore some of the other channels on the television. No, really. They do exist. Take the kids out for pizza. Take the wife out for dinner. You know her, she's the one who makes all the snacks on Sundays during football season.
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.
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.
