The dreaded month of February is over and with it ends the four-week slumber the sports world dozes into after the Super Bowl. Never fear, March is here. The artic freeze in the northeast has begun to fade and bright sunny days are just around the corner. Well, let’s hope so.
Bleeding Sports will be on Spring Break hiatus for the week, but before that we leave you, our loyal readers, with some things to watch for over the next week in the world of sports:
· The new NFL year has officially kicked off. Today is the start of free agency in the NFL and the wheeling and dealing has already begun. Jake Plummer will be filing his retirement papers, the Steelers said goodbye to Joey Porter, and the Jaguars signed their kicker and some guy named Pathos who used to play for the Ravens. And those are just the highlights!!
· Speaking of new years, Major League Baseball spring training is underway. We already got a new steroid scandal, an injured World Series MVP, and enough A-Rod stories to cover an entire season. Baseball, Baseball…Catch The Fever Now!!!
· America’s Game is back on the NFL Network counting down all 40 Super Bowl Champions prior to this season. NFL Films has produced an hour-long program for each team with the story of their season told by three of its members. If you’re a football fan then you need to be watching this show. New episodes of America’s game air Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm on NFL Network.
· Let the Madness begin. This weekend marks the end of the college basketball regular season for the power conferences while mid-majors begin postseason conference tournament play. By this time next week we will be in the middle of college basketball heaven when the big boys begin their conference tournies. College basketball every day at any time! Just thinking about it makes me gitty.
I LOVE MARCH!!!
