Win or lose, your team's business is concluded for the season. You either won or lost, and it's time to take a little break before talking NFL draft, free agency and training camps. September will be here before you know it!

Hang on a minute. Slow down, please. There are still a few loose ends that need to be tied up before calling it a year.

Here are a few items that are still on the agenda, and completing them will make the experience better for everyone, including you. I call them the four Cs, but they don't include crying or complaining. In no particular order:

Contract Renewal. This doesn't take any effort, but it's fun to consider. Congrats, coach. The team is keeping you for another year! It's probably not much of a surprise, since you've been the only coach in team history. But let's appreciate the fact that you enjoy 100 percent job security in fantasy football.

The same can't be said for guys like John Fox, Jim Caldwell, Chuck Pagano and Jack Del Rio, who are all looking for jobs after getting fired. I think Del Rio was fired at the two-minute warning of week 17. Not a classy way for a team to treat their head coach, but the Raiders clearly have other ideas for the position.

That won't ever happen with your team. Whether you won the title, lost in the championship game or went 2-12 this year, you know you're coming back. You'll have another shot at it every year for as long as you want it. Eventually you can go out like Bruce Arians, who chose to retire. The difference is that the Cardinals will find a new coach and move on, while your Fightin' Porgs will fold when you call it quits.

Point is, there's no real pressure in our game. If there's any lingering bitterness or disappointment, let it go. Look back on the season with a smile, however it turned out. You had fun, and there's always next year.

Congratulate Your Champion. You know I have to mention this again, right? It's one of the most important pieces of business for you after the season. Take a moment and congratulate the owner who won it all, and do it as personally as possible. That means a phone call when appropriate, or personal e-mail if that's more applicable.

But it has to be more than "Congrats, loser!" Even if your league is an endless fount of trash-talk, be serious for a moment and let a fellow active owner know that you recognize their accomplishment. This isn't a slacker who ditched their team when they went 1-4. It's not a stranger who shows up on draft day then never logs into the league site again. They replaced their bye week players, worked the waiver wire and really tried the whole year. Your league needs more owners like that, so acknowledge the good ones when their hard work pays off.

Celebrate Your Family. It's been a long season. Did family events get scheduled around your draft? Did your spouse ever have to stop mid-conversation because you were checking stats? Did the kids have to deal with a sour attitude when things didn't go well? It's your team, but fantasy football impacts everyone in your house. Now's a good time to say thank you for dealing with endless highlights, Red Zone marathons and all the other distractions that occupied your time over the past few months. Your experience wouldn't be the same without their patience.

If you took home some winnings this season, make sure they enjoy some of that success. And even if you came up empty, do something special for them. They're like your team's fans, except your family is more tolerant than fanatical. They didn't really ask for the team to be there, so they just put up with it and try to ignore it whenever possible.

In other words, kind of like Chargers fans in Los Angeles.

Congregate Around the Television. Even if you're in playoff fantasy league, this isn't the time to focus on stats and huddle around the computer, or check your phone every 30 seconds. The playoffs are too compelling, and it's time to enjoy the games for what they are. Three of the last four Super Bowl participants are back for another shot, and there are teams who have waited more than a decade to be in a playoff game. The playoffs have five quarterbacks who have started in a Super Bowl, and five who have never started a playoff game. And ponder this: Either the Jaguars or the Bills will finish their season with at least one playoff victory. What's not to love?

Look, we all know that fantasy football can make good football games great, and unwatchable games tolerable. But the playoffs should stand on their own merits, and if you focus too much on the stats (and a few dollars in the playoff pot), you'll be missing out on the best part of the season. Now everyone can admire Todd Gurley and Le'Veon Bell without wincing while they decimate your fantasy team. Only four teams in the playoffs have better records than the Saints and Panthers (those teams all have byes), but one of them will be sent home by a division rival on Sunday. Playoff fantasy football is fun and rewarding, but it shouldn't be your primary focus in January. Even if your favorite team isn't playing, make a concerted effort to enjoy the games.
