Welcome to the Informal Friday open thread! That is the place we take a break from Seattle Seahawks speak and veer off-topic with the remainder of the Subject Gulls neighborhood.
I suppose we’re nonetheless kind of speaking Seahawks as a result of that is NFL-related. This weekend is the primary of 29 consecutive Sundays with out significant NFL soccer on our screens. If you wish to chop off 5 weeks for preseason, it’s 24 or 25 Sundays relying on how the schedule shakes out.
The NFL offers us by far the fewest video games of any of the foremost North American sports activities leagues and consequently the longest offseason. When the NBA and NHL end up in June, they’re able to return to motion in October. MLB’s World Collection normally ends in late October or early November, and now we’re already gearing up for spring coaching forward of the late March begin. Most soccer leagues around the globe have lengthy seasons and quick turnarounds (e.g. MLS Cup was in December and the brand new season begins in February).
When the Tremendous Bowl ends in February, we ain’t acquired a sniff of a recreation for six months. We’ve got teasers like free company, the NFL Draft, and the schedule launch that preserve us engaged in the course of the offseason but it surely’s not an precise recreation.
Throughout that stretch with out the NFL, do you observe some other sports activities carefully? And in that case, which of them? I do know we’ve plenty of Seattle Mariners and Sounders followers on this website, which suggests it received’t be too lengthy earlier than these groups are again in motion. The Kraken are… nicely two seasons in the past was fairly enjoyable, proper?
I’ll be watching monitor and subject frequently whereas its in indoor season after which stay up for the beginning of out of doors season in April. All different sports activities leagues (e.g. Premier League, NBA, and NHL) will get my consideration however not essentially with the identical depth as I watch the NFL and the Seahawks particularly.
