Survive The Off Season With NFL Total Offensive And Defensive Rankings

By Olivia Cross


What is the die-hard NFL football fan supposed to do during the agonizing months in between February and August. February brings with it the awesome Super Bowl, followed by the super crash the following week, when it finally sinks in that there isn't a game on Sunday. There won't be a game for lots of Sundays. Well, there are last year's statistics to pour over, among them 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.

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.

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!
