The Dead Zone

10
Vote

by user Demonboy

Now that the NBA finals & NHL finals are over - congrats to Mia & Car respectively, this now officially begins the time of the year I affectionately call The Dead Zone. The time of year in between NBA or NHL finals (whichever finishes later) and the start of the NFL preseason.

Outside of baseball, there is really nothing else to watch, unless you’re into Golf, Tennis or maybe NASCAR – however this year we have something else to watch – World Cup… oh joy… yes, that was sarcastic.

While I don’t particularly like Golf, Tennis, NASCAR or Soccer – I’m not going hold anything against the 18 of you that do.

What makes this year particularly hard for me is that this year, the team that I love (Cubs) stink so bad that I can smell their home dugout all the way here in Detroit. At least I have the Tigers to fall back on.

But as much as I love baseball, unfortunately, my wife doesn’t so this kind of creates a huge conflict in our house when most games are on… God I can’t wait until football season already. At least then I can go to every home game (season tickets) and the 10 games that are away (including preseason), there’s not too much of a conflict – at least then I have my brother in law backing me up making it a 2 to 1 vote lol

The dead dreary days of summer have now begun – someone shoot me now before I go insane :-)

And this time is highlighted by July 12th, one of the worst sports days ever...when absolutely nothing is on...no baseball (Obviously) no nascar, no golf...and I don't even like that last 2...

It's interesting to hear a Detroit Lions fan looking forward to the NFL season... You must be desperate for something other than baseball!

Actually, you are defining the Dead Zone a little early. I would say after the NBA / NHL Drafts next week, up through the start of NFL Training camp is the Dead Zone. Anyway, this is the perfect time to plan a vacation - you won't miss anything important in the world of sports.

To me it's just the opposite. The dead zone lasts from November to April. But that's the drawback of being a one-sport guy I guess.

You call it the "Dead Zone" if you want - I will call it my favorite time of the sporting year - there is absolutely nothing to distract me from my overwhelming baseball addiction. Day after day, night after night, I can feed it, let it grow and fester, until late September when I will emerge from my castle, blurry-eyed, pasty-white and finally willing to share some time with the NFL. Bring it on!

My friend Joy had nothing to do with this.
