For all you die hard sports fans out there, is there any other better time of the year? The heavily anticipated NCAA basketball tournament is right around the corner, about to fill our hearts with awe-inspiring performances from Cinderella teams and drive us crazy with the inevitable bracket busters. The two weeks of March Madness is the definition of what sports are all about. If the college ranks aren’t your cup of tea, you also have the conclusion of the NBA regular season. We have never seen such a close conference race as we’ve seen this year in the Western Conference. Every team in the Western Conference has a legitimate shot at making it to the NBA finals. The Houston Rockets are on the verge of recording a 20-game winning streak. You have surprise teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Hornets looking like they are ready to compete for a title, and you have the gold standard of the San Antonio Spurs to still deal with. With so many exciting story lines in the NBA, how could you miss a minute of the action.
Now you’re probably saying to yourself, wow, I’ll probably have to get at least a couple TV’s just to keep up with all the action. I always say there’s nothing wrong with watching 3 or 4 games at once, so I say go for it. Also, do yourself a favor, get a DVR to make sure you can record all the historical magic.
It can’t get much better than that, can it?…. Well, you’re wrong. The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and you can smell the freshly cut grass. To a sports fan, that only means one thing. BASEBALL SEASON! Every year at this time, millions of fans renew their loyalties to their beloved teams in hopes for a World Series title. I know for a FACT, that this is the year the Dodgers will finally pull it out (OK I might be a little biased). And just to top it off, the sport’s Gods decide to throw in St. Patrick’s Day at the beginning of all this just as a reminder that your life is about to get that much better in March. So happy March to all you sports fan out there and I’ll see you in April when all my PTO is gone.
