Episode 29: Too Much Madness For My Pro Taste

I really like college sports, but I simply love pro sports. And don't get me wrong, I really like me some March Madness. I put it third behind the NFL Playoffs and NBA Playoffs. However, March Madness always reminds me why I can never like college sports more than professional sports. I explain how although College Basketball's excitement comes from its unpredictability, that same unpredictability undermines the eventual national champion. Not that they aren't deserving because any team that goes the distance in a tournament/playoff will always be deserving in my opinion. But the bottom line is, NCAA Tournament champions are champions of a level of basketball that consistently shows us how the game isn't supposed to be played. I specifically explain how bad coaching and too many 3-pointers play a central role in that. By the way, how's everyone looking with their brackets? Isn't it funny how when someone asks you that question this deep in the tournament it's usually always a joke? Anyways, our Final Four is Kentucky vs. Duke, and Butler vs. VCU. I give my take on Sunday's Elite Eight action as Kentucky held off North Carolina, and VCU handled top-seeded Kansas. I also get into some NBA as the Lakers continue to roll, now going for possibly the best record in the NBA? Melo says tonight's game with the Magic is a must-win for the struggling Knicks. Gotta talk some Johnny Jolly and his favorite drink. I'll give you a hint: It's purple. And oh yeah, The Masters is right around the corner, everyone. As if that guy that sounds like a pervert in the commercials hasn't informed you. Photo from rivals.yahoo.com
