The first empty Sunday of the NFL season is in a couple of days.  Call me a nut, but I always have this surreal feeling about the “bye week” between the playoffs and the Super Bowl.  Watching SportsCenter doesn’t help much, you just hear about all of the shoulda, coulda, and woulda from the regular season.  Sure, there’s news about all of the other teams that are making coaching moves and having players retire.  However, the empty Sunday before the Super Bowl is always odd – we have to learn what to do with a free day all over again.  No longer a slave to my NFL Sunday Ticket, I can venture outside.  I remember now, this is that time of the year that I go back to those other great events – the NBA and, soon, the MLB!  That’s right, that is what I can do with Sundays!
