And so college basketball begins its annual three-week window of relevance. We’ll all act like we give a damn from now through Monday night, April 3.
I’m not being “That Guy.” I’ll watch, and I’m sure I will enjoy it. I like buffalo wings and cold beer at least as much as the next guy. Understand, I have not watched a single college hoops game in its entirety all season. No animosity. No protest. Just no real interest.
As a result, I have no knowledge about any of these teams. Ergo, “brackets” are just random hardware that I keep in a kitchen drawer.
It’s the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. It’s not the Big Dance. It is not pronounced TOAARRRNAMENT. Cinderella is just something for Ron DeSantis to get worked up about.
I do kinda like the Houston Cougars. They’re pretty good. Or at least they were the last time I saw them, which was exactly a year ago.
Today begins the “legal tampering” window in NFL free agency. “Legal tampering” is by a wide margin my favorite sports term, even more than using “contain” as a noun.
“He lost contain.”
Let’s all keep contain on this Monday.
