The NCAA tournament is wrapping up tonight after a great run that will actually produce a pure champion. I love seeing the Cinderella stories every year, but when you get the best four teams playing in one city over three days, I do a little ####.
I couldn't believe that Kansas and Memphis #### my bracket and forced me into second behind my friend who doesn't know how to spell UCLA or UNC. Gotta love college basketball, but is digress.
Every team this past weekend would have run Davidson out of the gym and steamrolled them, just like Geroge Mason a few years ago. Kansas vs Memphis will be awesome to watch and we will get a true champion. Ummm, Hello! BCS are we paying attention?
Baseball season is just getting underway, and I could not be happier for a couple of months. I love baseball, in April and May and in September and October. In June, July (except for the All-Star Game) and August, I find baseball boring.
Nothing against baseball, but those Orioles vs Rays or Pirates vs Giants just don't get me to the TV. I love the great teams, and will make time for Yankees vs Red Sox, but that pretty much it.
The NHL playoffs are begining this Wednesday and this is the most excited I have been for the hockey playoffs since the lockout. With the down to the wire races for a playoff push with the Capitals winning their division, and also having Sid the Kid and Ovechkin finally in the playoffs together, I will make time to watch as much playoff hockey as possible.
Who could forget the Masters is coming up this weekend. I don't watch as much golf as my family does, but when you get great story lines and great scenery, watching four golf events a year, I enjoy this one the most because it means a lot of things are happening. what I mentioned above, a couple of other things.
NFL pro days are complete and now we are just counting down the days until the Dolphins are no longer on the clock. I love listening to draft talk up to and including draft day, it makes me pine for the best time of the year.
Finally, the NBA has drawn me in as a fan. I actually watched NBA games this past season after the Big Diesel becamse the Big Cactus and the West became more stacked than Keeley Hazell. I had fallen out of love with the NBA, but the Celtics this season and the Suns playing the best defense is a good offense. Finally scoring in the NBA brought me back and is getting me interested.
This time of year to me is not the best time, but second ain't terrible.
