Well, now what?

[TigerVols]

The NFL's lockout looks like it could linger for months...the NBA's less-talked-about labor strife will soon be moved to the front burner, pushing the on-the-court action off the radar for months at least...the All-Star Game is weeks away, and interest in MLB is waning, judging by butts-in-seats anyway...so what the heck are sports fans to do? How are you sports editors going to fill your pages? What are producers at the WWL supposed to do with their airtime?

I feel sorry for folks who don't live-and-breathe CFB like us Southerners do!

CFL and UFL.

 

[Shoeless Joe]

The Tour starts in about two and a half weeks.

 

[rpmmutant]

Looks like NASCAR might be the No. 1 sport in the nation.

I believe this is the lull that gave rise to the much-beloved "Who's Now" segment.

 

[Liut]

Don't know about the WWL, but a certain company's Podunk Presses have plenty of This-and-That of the Year and Athlete and Coach Q-and-A's to do.

The long-overdue rise of Major League Soccer is at hand!

You must not read small papers in Massachusetts. The lockout is almost over. :D

I believe summer is prime teachers doing students season, so that should keep us all pretty busy.

 

[murphyc]

There is always Danica Patrick and the question of if she stays in IndyCar or jumps to NASCAR. Oh the drama! :P

 

[murphyc]

And don't forgot Babe Ruth, American Legion, etc. for baseball. That will sell you some papers.

 

[dooley_womack1]

This is where competitive cheer will step into the breach.

 

[DanOregon]

Big Air Dogs!

This could be a real door-opener for whoever wins the U.S. Open. Tiger's not there, Phil can't get over the hump and a lot of eyes will be tuned in. Maybe Andy Murray will finally win at Wimbledon? This could be the summer for a lot of niche sports to break through.

Fat chance. I don't think the league's marketing departments are wise enough to take advantage of any sort of opening in the traditional American sports calendar.

Seattle, Portland and Vancouver don't have a problem drawing fans.

That's because those cities are filled with displaced wannabe Eurotrash.

There's always hockey! At least through tomorrow (and maybe Thursday morning ET).

These idiots are finding out how incredibly hard families are struggling to afford their overpriced "entertainment."
