Beginning of the end

Two of the most prominent sports in the U.S. are facing a potential lockout, which could be detrimental to sports lovers such as myself. Sixteen plus weeks of action packed Sunday's gave me a legitimate reason to indulge in throat quenching Miller Lite, as well as chow down on the most unhealthy foods known to man. It also allowed me to hang out with the guys. We would talk about the women we lust for along with screaming at the television every other play, even though the players couldn't hear us. If not at a friends house, the ale house became my next destination, adding to the large amount of money they rack in during the NFL season. Football on Sunday allowed married men to have a valid reason to ignore their wives and reunite with long lost friends while women caught up on certain domestic duties. I'm only kidding ladies as many of you watch the sport even if it's for different reasons. There's nothing more attractive than a woman that loves the game and can share a beer with you at the same time.

As if not having an NFL season isn't bad enough, us as sports fans are faced with the prospect of not having an NBA season either. Fresh off of one of the highest rated NBA finals in recent years and an underdog prevailing over the giant, it was quite a story with this lockout being a blemish to this clean page in the book of history. I'm sure most of you have heard about the reasons why this lockout is taking place so I'm not going into the details, but it's ridiculous in my opinion to say the least. What I'm I going to do from October to June if the lockout continues? Shall I attend the gym at
a rapid rate? Will I fornicate more or will I hit up the fridge with reckless abandon? These are just some of the questions which I hope I don't have to answer.

I'm sure bars across the globe will be affected financially if these lockouts go through especially during the football season. People might actually drink more due to depression caused by their favorite sport being canned. People could also just stay home, which would be a shot to bars all over. On the flip side, it could cause for better communication amongst couples allowing their love to flourish. The point I'm trying to make is please end these lockouts immediately. I can't take everyday looking like Valentine's day and I damn sure don't want to see more drunk drivers on the road! Can both leagues end the lockout? Say it with me commissioners, "Yes we can, yes we can."
