Houston, TX – For some, the end of the NFL regular season is a sad time. For 18 weeks, teams prepared and played their collective hearts and souls out in a quest for victory, with some good-to-great financial compensation. Throw in three weeks of preseason games and the long summer training camp sessions, to say nothing of the countless hours of individual workouts and actions, and to see it all suddenly come to end by midnight on this Sunday can be a little depressing for players, coaches, organizations, and fans. Add in the rather bleak fact that many a player and coach may find themselves on Black Monday unemployed, the end of the regular season can take on a near funeral feel.
