What Would You Do With No NFL?

I'm not sure how many football fans read this but by now you've heard the discussion of a lockout for the 2011 football season.  I'm not the biggest football fan, if I cheer for a team it's the NY Giants.  I prefer college football even though I have no specific team.  But I can't imagine how the biggest sport in this county could cease to exist for a year on the professional level.  How about you?  Could you imagine if there was no professional football on Sundays for a whole year?  I'm not sure what your area is like but Baltimore loves the Ravens, when it comes to this city football is king.  With no Sunday football games to attend or watch you might wonder, "What does this mean for my ministry?", "What does this mean for my church?"  So what does it mean for church if the NFL locked out?
