My Favorite Sporting Event
I know, I know. It’s April and this is the baseball issue.
But most who know me know of my love for basketball and the NCAA tournament, and as I write this, we are in the opening games of March Madness.
I might have to amend my previous statement. I love the passion and fervor of this tournament and college basketball in general, but I rarely watch an NBA game.
NBA players making hundreds of millions of dollars who skip games for “load management,” cheating the fans, have soured me a bit.
But the energy and passion of this tournament make it my favorite sporting event of the year. And yes, that includes the Super Bowl.
The upsets, the tension, and the tears of both heartbreak and joy compel me to watch as many games as I can.
And of course, there are plenty of great March Madness parties to attend.
So, for three weeks, I will settle into an easy chair and switch channels until my remote control batteries run out.
But I have plenty of backups, because I don’t want to miss a single whistle.
