Every year about this time, tragedy comes near. It is the great pain caused throughout the country known to one and all as football withdrawal. Husbands become irritated, causing wives and children to seek refuge. Some remote controls have been worn out as desperate men seek out the emptiness left after the Super Bowl.

I guess one day a solution will be found for the problem. However, in the mean time, it does cause all sorts of problems.

Well, it does cause problems for TV stations too. They, especially outfits such as ESPN, have all those hours of broadcast time to fill. Naturally, with no programming, there will be no ads. No ads, no revenue. Talk about withdrawal pains….

Incidentall, the gamblers will be dealing with withdrawal too. They will need to find other things to gamble on.
