Picture this: WWE legend John Cena sits in the corner of a wrestling ring. Morose music plays in the background. He looks up in hope. Next, he looks straight in contemplation. Lastly, he looks down in disappointment - all this while thinking, 'We have officially reached the most depressing stretch of the year for sports fans - 73 days until the
NFL
season.
106 days until NHL hockey returns. 120 days until NBA basketball is back.'
The dry season of the NFL, NHL, and NBA is finally here. This is the time when fans don't know what to watch on TV, and the columnists are clueless as to what to make readers read. However, there's one thing that we've found. And it's the comparison between the three most popular leagues of American Sports - the NFL, NHL, and NBA. And guess which league came out as a winner? 'NFL is the only one that matters if we being real,' wrote an X user by the username @ENSandAIArt.

Even if it's a dry period for the NFL, a fan urges to take the offseason and rest
When a famous X account called NFL Memes shared John Cena's sad meme video with the caption: 'We have officially reached the most depressing stretch of the year for sports fans - 73 days until the NFL season. 106 days until NHL hockey returns. 120 days until NBA basketball is back.' - X users reacted to it without any delay! The X post has over 3.4 million views! 1.3K comments, 3.5K reposts, 26K hearts, and 1.1K bookmarks!
An X user titled @cmichael10186 wrote, 'One of those is irrelevant, one is only watchable during the playoffs, and there's 73 days until the other.' - The user finds NBA or NHL redundant and popular only during playoffs and clearly points out that NFL is relevant and watchable throughout!
A fan by the screen name @GameDayGlitch commented, 'Just remove basketball, nobody cares about that one.'

The fan is not entirely incorrect. On April 3, The Standard reported that there was a 19% drop in the viewership of the 2024-2025 NBA season compared to the 2023-2024 NBA season. It could only average 1.4 million viewers across ABC, ESPN, and TNT.
A user by the digital identity of @JCR0CK shared, 'Pro Wrestling is all year, baby! (but man, cant wait for NFL season)' - particularly ignoring the NHL and NBA and emphasizing the NFL!
An X user by the pen name of @rgautavai wrote, 'It's mostly just the 73 days till NFL returns. And throw in college football,' - The 2025 season of College Football is going to start from August 23, 2025.
A fan named @Sportsfanbobby penned, 'Just take the offseason and rest,' - thereby, bringing all the focus on the minicamps, practice, training programs, and preparation for the 2025 NFL season.
