The Lockout has been overated.
I like sports of almost any variety, but I don't get all the sports talk about the end of the NFL lockout. It would seem that this has been a contrived by talk shows because they need to fill some air time and they have all been programmed to follow the season(s) as dictated by the NFL.
I'm not even sure if the Hall of Fame Game has been cancelled and my interest in the pre-season is limited. I don't have a fantasy team and am able to get enough football information through The Miami Herald.
I realize that a lot of money is gambled on football games and a lot of time is spent in front of TVs, at sports bars, and for all too many people Sunday is organized around when the game is going to be on TV. I would vote to start the Sunday Service at my church at 9:00 am to avoid any conflict with a 1:00 pm kickoff.
There is a lot of time, effort, and treasure for a home game if you have bought tickets for the game. I can't dispute the impact of football financially, socially,and for some communities psychologically.
Almost any city with an NFL team is happier the day after a victory. Elevator conversations in Miami are almost always about the Dolphins on Mondays.
Personally, I've caved in to 24 hour sports.
Underemployment has lead me to take advantage of just about every ESPN Channel there is.
If I had a regular job, a family with kids at home and had not paid off the mortgage, I think I'd be a nervous wreck and the prospect of a fall weekend would certainly be different.
