Not only is the snow likely melting which is a great view in itself, but some of the greatest events to watch on TV are either going on now or soon to be airing.
Right now we're in the middle of the NCAA Conference Tournaments. A tease to the ever so popular March Madness Tourney, where whether you're an avid fan or mother who gets lucky with her picks. (My mom always thinks Kansas is going to win... couple years ago she got lucky... Thanks a lot Mario Chalmers) Anyone can partake in this event and most people usually do. I know some people that aren't sports fans but love the NCAA Tourney. It's the only time everyone watching is put on the equal playing field. Here's a piece of paper, here are the teams, grab a pen and good luck. It's amazing to see the energy of the fans especially when you get a team playing very close to home. I mean North Carolina and The Ohio State played in their respective states last year, granted it worked out better for North Carolina but still. Siena just played a better game against the Buckcrys.
And there's so much to be said about the Women's NCAA Tourney.
We got lucky this year with more athleticism to watch with the Winter Olympics in Canuckville... err I mean Vancouver. The good part is that in 2014 we'll be over loaded with content once again. Get your pass ports ready and grab your M-16s! Scotia, Russia here we come.
Both the NHL and NBA are getting closer and closer to the post season. This means we can finally watch the best teams play every night instead of watching teams like the Knicks and Nets struggle every game. For those of you who are unaware, I'm living in New York now, and I miss watching a productive basketball team play. Side note: The Knicks and Nets have a combined 27 wins as of March 6th. The Celtics at this time have 39 wins... Nuff Said!
Even though football season is over, there's still plenty to talk about. The trading block is making more moves than a Rubik's cube and the Combine just finished up, a prelude to the only draft any man wishes they were a part of.
And of course we can't forget about the course of course. THE MASTERS! Only the biggest golf match of the year, which I always wondered why it was played at the beginning of the season and not towards the end... but I'm not complaining. Nothings beats hitting up a bar the day before the Masters for the Par 3 round and then going to a Sox game afterwards. It's only happened once in my life time but it... was... awesome!
And to just top off the massive sundae that is this next month and a half.... IT'S BASEBALL SEASON!!!
The crack of the bat, the smell of the grass (field grass), the pop of the glove, and the potential cancer from the radar guns and suns. We're now in full swing for spring training and I couldn't be happier. The only thing I got going for me right now is that fact that since I live in New York I get to watch twice as manny, I mean many games this year because my TV picks up Yankees and Mets games. Granted I have no desire to watch those two teams play, I do get to watch the opponents they face, which includes at least 19 Red Sox games against the Yank-These.
We are practically just weeks away from the longest season in sports... 162 significant games... 162+ if you're team actually plays well... like the Red Sox and yankees.
So if you weren't aware of all the sports matches, games, and events that take place in the next month or so, then it's probably best that you sit back, grab a beer, and cheer on your favorite team, player, or upset pick in round one of the coveted 64.
Go Kansas! It isn't luck, it's skill!
