Super Sunday Slog: More Previews and Hall Of Fame
Ah...here we are. We have finally reached the pinnacle of the NFL season. Despite a bad economy and potential labor strife, The NFL had a very exciting and successful season in 2009. We had two teams stay undefeated together at historically long stretches. And now these two meet in the Super Bowl!
College Basketball This Week:Slogging Through Snowzilla
Now that we have survived what was perhaps the snowiest Saturday on record, it's time to prepare for what will be the annual hype fest know as Super Sunday. But first, we must wade through the slog known as the college basketball season. Unlike last year, where there seemed to be a consensus as to the year's best team on paper in North Carolina, there seems to be some uncertainy as to who that team is this year. Kansas and Kentucky seem to be those teams, but they have shown some vulnerability of late. My favorite team of the moment-Villanova-got crunched by an untrustworthy Georgetown team. Fringe favs Michigan State, Texas and Temple had not so good weeks. What gives?

Semi Live Snow Blog: The Saturday Slog
The big wammy hit the DC area yesterday and today. Where I'm at, we're sitting on a 22 inch snowfall....and counting. So after a round of snow removal, it's an afternoon of college basketball action. While I will do my proper recap of the week's action on Sunday, today I will do a "live" rant and riff of the day's action.

NFL Super Bowl Stuff
We are now about 48 hours from the Big Game. By the time this starts, those of us in snowbound DC will be Sooooo ready for a decent diversion. The last time the Colts played in the Super Bowl, there was rain. I think there's a chance there might be a repeat this year. Can you imagine if the Super Bowl was in DC this weekend??

Happy Groundhog Day
Today is annual tradition where the gopher from Punxutawney, PA determines if we're going to have six more weeks of winter. Or something like that. As a sports fan, February is the ghost town of sports months. Which I'm sure is why people drag their asses out in sub zero cold to see this spectacle. Is it any coincidence that Ground Hog day is six weeks away from March Madness??
DC Funnies 2010 VI: Gilbert's Gone....

Bracket Buster 2010
Saturday, February 20th is a special day for college basketball fans who root for the non major teams. Affectionately known as Bracket Buster, this is the day the Mid Major teams take over the college basketball spotlight as positioning becomes important in the race for NCAA tournament bids. To me, this is the calm before the March Madness storm as Bubble watching takes over the sports nut consciousness. It's a good time had by all...
