Limbo

This is the time of year that I can't stand. Sports news is at it's weakest. NBA finals? Who cares! Hockey? Very little interest for me. Baseball is in full swing (no pun intended) but with so many games, there is not a lot to talk about. I will watch almost every baseball game I can, but the networks like the "matchups". It gets old watching the Yankees and Red Sox every week. I hate both of those teams. 

College football? Sure ESPN likes to tease us with the Spring games, but unless you're a fan of those teams, do you really watch them? Do you really care? You can go to ESPN Classic and watch re-runs, but you should know the outcome of the 2007 Sugar Bowl by now. 

The NFL? Well, we should be talking about signings and trades and free agency. As fans of the NFL, that is what we like to hear about and talk about right now. With the owners and players union crawling along in their negotiations, we don't get hardly any news from them. Maybe a daily posturing update from both sides, but that's it. We do get speculation of what's going on from all the NFL talking heads, but do they really know what's going on? They're in the same boat as the rest of us, in limbo.

Will There Be Football on Sundays?

It seems like months have gone by since the NFL draft. Although the draft was just weeks ago, the excitement has worn off. Usually during this time of the year,  NFL fans are following rookie signings, trades and free agency. Not now. There is nothing to follow. The only news NFL fans are hearing is lawyer speak. 

With the NFL players being locked out by the owners, the news in the NFL is a trickle of what it should be. Lawyers on both sides get to go on TV and hear themselves crow. The biggest news this week is that Peyton Manning had minor neck surgery. 

As a Ram fan, I could care less.  The billionaire owners and millionaire players need to get this thing done. Put your ego's aside and start to get this resolved. There are rumors that college football has made a contingency plan to have some of their games on Sunday's. It's a smart move on their part. It would generate a lot of money for the schools involved and take money out of the NFL's pocket. 

That would be fine by me, I guess there would be football on Sundays.
