So Short A Season - a list by hanahula

About this list:

While the professional baseball season continues throughout more than a half of any given year and you can catch a game on any night of the week, football has a much less face time. Perhaps that is a good thing for the players' bodies, but it can be a bit frustrating for those die-hard fans who wait all week for the one game their team will play. The season is short enough to keep the fans hungry. Very hungry.

Qualifications:

My high school biology teacher was the football coach.
