Survive The Off Season With NFL Total Offensive And Defensive Rankings

By Olivia Cross


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
