What To Do During This Sports Lull

So we have come to that dreadful part of the year where the NBA and NHL have just finished their seasons, the NFL is yet to start, and baseball still has way to many games to play for these to really matter.

Thank god this lull is during the summer, because as opposed to sitting around flipping through reruns of Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond, sports fans can go out and enjoy the same games they love to cheer their favorite athletes during.

With this in mind here is a bucket list of sorts of five summer activities to try to do this summer, and hopefully this will at least get us to the MLB Playoffs and a NFL season.

1. Golf- The best thing about golf is that anybody can play it, thick or thin, old or young. It's actually a decent exercise and there is always space for improvement.
2. Water Polo- Don't worry, I don't mean the Olympic type of water polo where you tread water for over an hour straight. Instead throw up a small goal on the edge of the shallow end of pool, get a group of six guys together and play full tackle water polo.
3. Bike Rides- I remember the second I got my license I thought I would never need or want to ride a bike again. Now I look at the bike as not only a great source of exercise, but a pretty enjoyable ride. Unless your driving around in a car with no windshield you don't enjoy that breeze hitting your face. On a bike you do.
4. Beach Football and Sports in General- It's the summer, everyone is bound to take a trip to their local beach, whether it be on the ocean or at a nearby lake. Make sure to pack that football, soccer ball and wiffle ball so that once you get to the beach you are not bored sitting next to your lady friend who is trying to work her tan. The sand makes for an extra good workout, and chicks are totally into the athletic guys at the beach.
5. Roller Hockey- Yea, I know that no one roller-blades anymore. But with the ice melted it's time to hit the street for a little hockey. The best part about this game is that it can easily be played in front of your house with a garbage can resting on the curb as a goal. Grab some sticks, some blades and some balls and enjoy a great workout that can get very competitive.

I'm sure you will enjoy those five summer activities as much as I will. Hopefully we can all go back to sitting on the couch and watching preseason football by August.
