Lockout 2011

Merry Christmas to everybody a day late. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and is looking forward to bringing in 2011, I know I am. The Colts got a big game today and I just got home from church where I talked to the big guy and I am pretty sure Indy will take care of business today. Now that the season is coming to a close and my fantasy season is all but over as I sit in third palce and can't make up any ground on first or second, it has me thinking about next season. I then remembered that there is a good chance there won't be a NFL or NBA season next year. The casual fan (females and most males) who don't follow the collective bargaining agreements aspect of the two leagues just assume that they won't allow a lockout to happen. I just shake my head at them because it has happened before, why can't it happen again? Both leagues are far from any type of agreement to go forward with next season. That is a fact, which would mean no Super Bowl for Indy. That would also mean no season tickets for my friends and I to go to Colts games, which means no tailgates, and no stories to talk about what happened at the tailgate the next day. Trust me there have been some stories to tell from this season. Nate, Kerr, SK, Reed, Joel, Josh you guys know what I am talking about. It's been a pretty "Ravishing" season.If both leagues are locked out next year I then wondered what I would do with my free time with no fantasy football. I would be lost, fantasy football consumes my life in the fall. The trash talking on the message board, changing my team name from week to week to embarrass my upcoming opponent. So what should I do with my free time? I suck at golf so I won't be playing any of that. I'm not going to join a WNBA fantasy league or watch more women's basketball. I would rather sit in a bathtub and slit my wrists then do that. I might travel the country and attend college basketball games that Gus Johnson calls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB2KOhEceNM I would consider a college football fantasy league but there are way to many schools and we would have to limit them to a certain number of conferences. I would probably make a road trip to see the Gators play in the swamp for the first time ever. Every time I've seen them play it has been on a neutral site. (Jacksonville, Atlanta, New Orleans) I might make my return to coaching CYO football at Holy Spirit. If all else fails I guess I can pick up a foot fetish like Jets coach Rex Ryan has. What I do know is that I will be depressed no matter what. Fantasy football is my crack. I hope everyone has a good new years, but don't puke before midnight, it's trashy. God bless.
