Why today of course.

It is the first day after the Superbowl and the longest day from the opening of training camp for the 2012 NFL season; from the first preseason game of the 2012 NFL season; and from the first regular season game of the 2012 NFL season.

Until NFL 2012 starts up, all we have is hockey, college hoops, NBA hoops, soccer, WNBA hoops, the 2012 Olympics and that boring sport called baseballimage

    << <i>30-3? great score of the rangers beating the orioles; and wes littleton getting a save. >>


    And the best things about it was that the score was 5-3 in the sixth inning. Also, the #8 and 9 hitters had a combined 14 RBIs!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Seems football season is so much shorter than the other sports.

    Lately there have been four each year for me, the two days after the Browns lose to Pittsburgh and the two days after they lose to Baltimore. I am really sad those days.

    Don't forget the two days after the Bengals kick their butt too.

    Bengals don't count since there is no real personal involvement on my part....they didn't leave Cleveland for another city not do they wear Black and Gold....they are just another of the NFL teams that have taken part in the beatings each year since the Browns returned. It isn't sad when they beat Cleveland.

    The day after the World Series ends.

    The day after the Super bowl is one of the best. Baseball can't start until Football ends.
    And like the proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes, 2012 marks the rise of the Kansas City Royals into baseball prominence again.image

    I agree with S-2.

    It's funny but I am the opposite. To me the last two weeks are the most painful of the year for sports radio and I am so glad the Super Bowl is over. I am not a huge NFL guy, could care less about the teams most years (being a Rams fan) and thus the two week media frenzy is way over the top for my liking. Also, it's that much closer to March Madness which to ME is the best time of the sports year!

    Saddest day? Gotta say learning of what Mr. Sandusky has been doing for probably decades. I am haunted, disturbed and on the fence about Paterno.....

    I like the random mention of the 30-3 Rangers/O's game! I could see them doing that at any time with the murderers row they have!! I like popping in that dvd and watching that game once/twice a year!

    There are actually TWO saddest days of the sports year:

    The day before and after the MLB All-Star game. Those are the only two days all year when none of the four major league sports have any sort of game going.
