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 will still be football apps to download, both for the tablet computer and the smartphone. Remember last year when you promised yourself you would learn all the names of the players on all the squads in your local division? You've got six months.
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.
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.
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.
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!
