One day your in, and the next day your out!

Watching the NCAA is surely better than watching the MLB, or the beleagured NHL, where the money rolls in, but only during half of the season.  Luckily for the NHL, the second half of the season is all that people want to watch anyway.

The NBA is great during the playoffs, mostly because the same teams that were in the last couple of championships, will be in the Championship this year, almost like a broken record, or the Yankees vs. Redsox in the MLB.

Nothing changes, and my interest in all three is as empty as a fuel tank before payday.

It would be a great day in the history of sports, if College sports could run concurrently twelve months of the year, with all of the great plays and superstar players, because once they leave the college arena, the only time they will be seen as great again, is in the NFL.

The only downside to watching the NCAA is the commentators, which are in serious trouble stemming from a lack of relevance.  Kenny "the sloth" Smith, that guy from the UNLV 90's super team, and Sir Jenny Craig,  aren't cutting it when it comes to today's College Hoops superstars.  The relevance of their point of view is almost as bad as seeing Kurt Rambus talk about what players are feeling.

The only commentator that is still relevant, and mostly because he doesn't put on the shoes of today's College players, is Tricky Dick Vitale.  Dick Vitale is still kicking ass, and his valued input on today's gamemanship is as relevant as ever.

ESPN would be in a great spot for commentators if they would replace the Three Stooges with Heidi Klum, Kate Upton, and the Dragon Queen from Game of Thrones.

March Madness

It is painfully obvious with this year's March Madness, that the abilities of College Basketball players have hit a pinnacle.  University of Kentucky isn't even in the tournament, as if anyone believed that to be possible.  @University of Duke, @University of North Carolina, and the @University of Kansas, all are not showing up as dominant forces in this years tournament.

At the half, Western Kentucky University is ahead of University of Kansas.  Let me say that one more time for all the people in the cheap seats, #WKU is ahead of #Kansas at the half.

If all the craziness wasn't enough, we, the fans of College hoops, get Charles Barkley, who seems to be either drunk, or exhausted, commenting on the play of the College teams.

The best games to watch this year, seem to be the teams ranked above 9, with hard nosed defense and fluid offensive play, the fundamentals are shining through and past the teams that have historically sent more players to the NBA than any of the smaller schools combined.

This year should be called March Mayhem.

NFL Post Season Matchups: Colts vs. Ravens

While I like to see the wild card games, the most interesting matchups between NFL teams comes before the playoffs.

Indianapolis vs. Baltimore

Ray Lewis is back and the Baltimore Ravens now have something to be motivated by and play for.  The news that this will be the last season for Lewis may mean that the Ravens want to send him off with a Superbowl.  Injuries and motivation are common with Baltimore as well as a slackening of the small details as the season progresses.  Andrew Luck and the Colts, however, are the opposite.  As the postseason heats up, so do the Colts, aided by the hottest rookie QB and the return of Chuck Pagano, the Colts are expected to be sluggish in the first half, and then explode in the second half.  For Indianapolis to seal the deal, the whole team concept has to come to bear with defense creating turnovers, and the offense turning small yards into large yardage gains.

At three minutes left in the game, it is very apparent that Andrew Luck came to play, but his receivers came to drop.  Thrown to multiple receivers, and out of five tosses, four are either dropped, or hit in the hands for incomplete passes.

Up your game!
