The Offseason

As any fan will tell you, the period after the football season finishes is often a time where grown men cry like little girls at the prospect of the NFL being taken from their lives for another 7 months. In fact, with the draft in April, there is actually something to focus on to break up the monotony of your stinking, Football-less life.

The real killer is this time we're entering into now. As Lovie Smith says, now is the time that even the front office, the coaches and players go on holiday or try to stay away from anything to do with football. We don't begrudge them it, especially not with the stress and pressure that comes with micro-managing franchises these days.

We'll be filling the time by previewing each team's chances next season. The vast majority of personel decisions have already been made now, and we feel confident that, despite the inevitable arrests and cuts that come in the next few months, that any huge trades and cuts are unlikely. As such, expect something approaching the Network's '32 teams in 32 days' piece, only not at all, and probably finishing up on the eve of the regular season opener.

We'll still be bringing our thoughts on all the inevitable fluff that the media manages to dredge up at this time of year. Lucky you.
