The Best of Sports and The Worst of Sports

March Madness starts this week. I love the first round games on this Thursday and Friday. What a great time for 32 teams, half the field. They want to line-up and try their hand against the BIG BOYS. They'll lose and go home. BUT, they made it to the NCAA's. There are always some surprises. I pick Arkansas to scare a few teams. My second pick, maybe to the semi-finals, USC. "Fight On."

Major League Baseball starts playing for real in a couple of weeks. What ever happened to their latest drug problem, and congress?
Have you been reading about China. Unrest. And they don't like unrest. Haven't heard any more about Bush going to the Games.

About four decades ago Arnold Palmer was named the Athlete of the Decade. Several dozen sportswriters took him to task, claiming he wasn't a true athlete because he didn't run. HMMM, don't hear anything about Tiger, except he's the best ever. And I hope the NFL does clear up the mess with the Patriots and that the officiating in college basketball improves. What if they went to four officials, or even better, went back to one.
