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 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.

In early February, there are probably still people discussing why the NFL don't supply all the balls instead of leaving it to the individual teams. For a few weeks after the Super Bowl, there are still a few people who care. What is the optimum number of pounds per square inch, and is it really advantageous to the offensive team if the ball is overinflated or underinflated? Maybe cultivate an interest in basketball, while it is still being televised.

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.

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. 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 bring the warm, summer months. Time for barbecues, vacations and disentangling the Christmas lights. That spreadsheet was starting to feel like a chore, anyway. You've got tickets for a home game in October. Your biggest problem is deciding whether to buy the sweatshirt, team flag and other paraphernalia ahead of the game, or purchase it at the ground as part of the whole seeing-the-game-in-person experience. Sunday afternoons and Monday nights have meaning again!
