It's the Time of the Seeeeeeason for .....

First off, I'll be the first to admit it, we let you down. Our coverage of the whole NCAA Tourney has been shitty. But, in self defence, so has the tournament. A Final 4 in which a No. 1 plays a No. 2, ON EACH SIDE OF THE BRACKET? Booooooring.

So with that in mind, I say we just give Florida the Championship, mainly because they've got some ultra fine rah-rah's, like the one pictured below.

Now with College Basketball out of the way, we can talk about the important stuff. Baseball starts next week. Thank god. The NBA sucks for a few more weeks, the NHL is a joke (read last week that UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has now surpassed the entire NHL in revenue. Nice job Original 6), and the pain from the Super Bowl is just starting to wear off.

The only thing that could save me from sporting depression is baseball. Next week players from around the country will board team chartered jets with their bags packed, leaving behind the sun drenched ladies commonly found in or around the Cactus or Pineapple League cities, and head to their respective home cities to start the long, grueling season.

I won't get into major predictions yet, but I will leave ya with this tasty nugg...The Cubs, with a severe pitching shortage, will win no more that 85 games this season.
