It's been a while...

1. I love the addition of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley to the CBS set. Some new blood was badly needed.

2. Jay Bilas needs to calm down about VCU and UAB. He was right but they spent way too much of the show talking about it.

3. Hate to say it, but I seemed to be the only person around here right after the trade saying Carmelo does not make the Knicks conference contenders. I hate being right so often...

4. So many amazing finishes over the weekend I think I lost track, but the Va Tech-Florida State game had to be the most amazing of all. The basket is good, State wins, Seth Greenberg looks as crushed as any coach I have ever seen on the sidelines. They show the replay and the Florida State player BARELY got off the winning shot in time...but wait, the referees overturn it, the shot is no good...the Hokies win! Then Tech doesn't make the tournament anyway. Goodness gracious.

5. I think I am going to watch the Tuesday/Wednesday games this time. In the past I haven't watched the play in game.

6. As much as I love March Madness, though, Ranger games still take precedence for me. Always will.

7. Holy smokes what a scary hit by Zdeno Chara on Max Pacioretty, pushing his head into the place where the boards begin. The guy is seriously injured, but I think no suspension was the correct call. Hockey is a vicious sport, hits like that will happen.

8. The Heat need an on-ball defender and a big who plays like a big. Miller and Bibby do not fit the bill.

9. I am really disappointed in Jim Tressel. I know many coaches have done much worse, but I just expected more out of him.

10. I am not in love with the idea of so many NCAA teams playing so close to home. Notre Dame in Chicago, North Carolina in Greensboro, etc. I know first and second round games have had some bad attendance, but I don't like giving teams an advantage.

11. Well if St John's gets past their bad draw of Gonzaga, I think BYU could be a vulnerable three seed, and I'd love to take my chances against a two seed like Florida. And we've already beaten the number one seed, Pitt. Losing DJ Kennedy, however, changes everything. Some seriously bad luck there...gonna miss him big time.

12. And how about Utah State, 30-3, getting a 12 seed...a 12 seed? Seriously? Oh, and by the way, turns out I've been lying all along...my cousin is not a cheerleader, she's an Aggiette. She set me straight over the weekend. It means she's on the dance team, but she's still on the sidelines for basketball games cheering, so...too complicated for my little Italian brain!

13. Just under ten weeks until the wedding. We're actually in somewhat of a lull regarding preparations. It will pick up again later this month. The only thing we've done recently is book our honeymoon...Paris. Ooh la-la. He voted Australia, but I'm taking no chances of bumping into the lunatic Australians we watched the Ohio State Rose Bowl game with when we were in Cabo. Seeing them again someday? OK. On our honeymoon? I think not.

14. Looks like it could be a slow start out of the gate for the Yankees...so much was predicated on them signing Cliff Lee. They are really going to need some surprises in the pitching staff to remain competitive with Boston until they are able to make a trade for a big time starter.

15. Didn't you used to be Joba Chamberlain?

16. Quick, who hit the foul fly ball to Bartman? You have to answer in three seconds...no googling! Hint...he's a current New York Met, although many Met fans wish he wasn't. Around here he's known for doing something much more infamous...WHILE he was a Met.

17. So let's see...there could be no NFL this Fall, and the NBA agreement is also expiring. Wow.

18. Weird how on the Selection show Greg Gumbel was saying things like 'and the Washington Huskies find out they're in the tournament' as they show the team cheering. You would think the Pac-10 tournament championship might have given them a clue that they had a pretty good chance to make it.

19. I'm already bored with the NFL labor negotiations. Lot of rhetoric both in the media and on this forum.

20. Let's go Visigoths!
