The countdown is on to Super Bowl XLIII.  The day we say goodbye to another football season and once again crown, not our team, champion again.  It is also the day we drink too much and eat a bunch of food that puts the final nail in the coffin of our New Year’s Resolution to eat better.

That leaves us with an incredible void in our lives.  Since the beginning of September we have been binging on football, college and pro, every weekend since.  Now it is time to move on.  This weekend is our first taste of life without football.  Sure, there is the Pro Bowl, but is that really football?  No, the Pro Bowl is to football as miniature golf is to the Masters.

Now, we have to come up with new ways to entertain ourselves.  After the first couple of weekends we will emerge from our dens like Punxsutawney Phil on February 2.  We stick our heads out of our house and try to figure out what in the heck is going on.  Then we start to slowly introduce ourselves back into society.

So, how do you fill your time this weekend?  Well, you could finally clean out the garage, but that is boring.  How about we get together with a buddy and have a beer and play paper football?  Nope!  Maybe you can write a letter to you favorite NFL star.  In New York, Roger Goodell will be sending a nice love letter to Tom Brady, allegedly.

Really, here is the best solution we have come up with here at 96.1 KStar.  Every time your spouse walks into the living room tackle them.  It is either going to lead to Afternoon Delight or a fight.  Either way you will have something to pass the time.

Good luck and let us know how you are passing the time.
