Sunday Afternoons
I’m almost glad it is Monday today because now that football season is over Sunday afternoons are so boring. For 6 months of the year I have a nice Sunday afternoon tradition of watching football with the family and possibly some friends. Now that the NFL season is over there is no more fun with friends and family. Just me flipping through channels while the wife naps.
Why is it that the NFL Season is so short? They play so few games and the season is over very quickly. Why don’t they start the season earlier and let it go longer. Maybe they are worried about injuries. It seems like football players have a lot higher probability of getting injured than players in other sports. Probably due to the nature of the game. So, it stands to reason that a longer season would mean more injuries. This could probably be offset with a larger roster size. However, that would require a higher salary cap. Also, second string players don’t generally play as well as the starters so games would probably not be as good later in the season when more players are injured. If they did extend the season the teams and the league would probably make more money so from a business standpoint it sounds like a good idea. Then again, if all your best players are injured do you really want to extend a lousy season? Maybe not.
Either way, it doesn’t help me the other half of the year, but I suppose I can suffer through it until next season comes around.
