With all the hype and hullabaloo, Super Bowl XLIV came and went. The city of New Orleans was treated to their first taste of an NFL title and that's a good thing for the Big Easy.
But it's Monday and there's no more football for a long, long while so please, let's resume some degree of normalcy on our sports networks. Big game's over and there's technically no hot stove league so just ease up for a little while. I realize that football's popularity is rather high, partially because you invest nothing to be a football fan. To tell most of America to sit in and do nothing on Sunday but drink beer, eat wings, and watch tv is not a hard thing to do. ANY sport would be extremely popular if that's all it took to be a "fan." Truth is, investing between 3-10 hours inf front of a tv on a typically slow day during the worst time of year is something that can be construed as a reasonable request. Transforming yourself into a shut-in during the Winter months is not that much to ask for, and many of us oblige.
Sure every sport looks forward to the next season when the last one is written in the books but even the morgue lets the body get cold before going full throttle.
This is just one man's plea to ESPN, et al. I'm not going to be ready for some football for a number of months so please, let's just focus on the NHL and NBA for now and oh, I heard the MLB season is right around the corner too.
