For the first time since August*, there will be no meaningful football being played this Sunday.
Unfortunately, that is just a sign of things to come. The offseason is long and painful, but if you want to make an optimistic spin on it, it frees up significant time of your weekend. Without devoting at least three hours to the Detroit Lions every Thursday, Sunday or Monday, you can be a little more productive in other aspects of your life.
Maybe you’ve got a hobby you want to pick up. Maybe there’s a New Year’s resolution that needs a little more attention. Or maybe you’ve got a TV series you’ve always wanted to get started. So today’s Question of the Day is:
My answer: The football schedule can be pretty grueling for reporting, with really only Saturday and part of Tuesday being the days off—and many times those don’t end up being full days off. For example, my “day off” on Saturday includes a two-hour Madden sim to start the day, plus reporting on Lions roster moves around 4, and tracking any relevant fines the NFL has announced.
But now I have my weekends back for anything of my choosing, and I think the first thing on my list is to get back into meal prepping. For me, it’s a huge time saver, and it’s a good preventative for wasting money on takeout or delivery when I’ve got a few meals just waiting for me in the fridge.
I’ve also recently gotten into disc golf, and even though the weather isn’t currently complying, I’m trying to get on a course at least once a week, maybe even two or three times.
Finally, the offseason is always my biggest opportunity to catch up on some TV shows. Right now, the queue includes the second seasons of both “Severance” and “Shrinking,” starting “Silo,” and finally getting around to watching “Abbot Elementary.”
If you all have any suggests for both meal prepping recipes or TV shows to watch, I’m all ears! But, also, let’s hear how you plan on spending your weekends in the offseason! Head down to the comment section and share!
