You really need to stop listening to sports talk radio/watching sports television in the summer. There's a reason a lot of the big guys take their breaks now anyways.
The only thing to talk about is the mid-season of a tedious 162 game MLB schedule. I know it's tough because it's just so routine for most of us but really, save yourself the torture. You can only listen to the same Red Sox storyline rehashed over four hours so many times.
-Late August - February (MLB divison, wild card races/playoffs, NFL season)
-April - June (NFL Draft, NBA playoffs everynight)
Is more than enough. February, June, July and August are worst months in sports to me. March has the NCAA torny and NFL free agency to save it.
I will say though, I could not be any less interested in all the "silly" Patriots offseason stuff. (Gronk naked, Kraft punching p***ies, Brady giving out candy). Not that it's hurting anyone, it's just not worthy of really paying attention to, for me personally.
Don't forget the "fascinating" debate of the 2012 Olympic basketball team vs the 1992 team! You know you're in trouble when you're dedicating segments to hypothetical Olympic basketball (which our country doesn't really care about) matchups.
