Hopefully…we have a great March Madness. But here’s the thing… on the night the bracket came out the NFL stole the show with the news Tom Brady is coming back next season in Tampa.
What a week for the NFL. Tom coming back to Tampa. Aaron staying in Green Bay. Russell Wilson headed to the Denver Broncos. The Bengals signing two offensive linemen to protect Joe Burrow. Amari Cooper headed to the Cleveland Browns.
As far as sports news cycles go this wasn’t even close…the NFL stole the show on what is supposed to be March Madness territory for the next three weeks.
Think about this and just in my fourth paragraph I will mention Matthew Stafford is the dude with the ring right now.
This is why the NFL is so far ahead of any other American sports entity. They know how to market themselves almost twelve months every year.
If I were the NCAA basketball committee and CBS…I’d think seriously about what they can do to get their sport back in the limelight.
Duke a #2 seed are you serious? Iowa State even in the tournament? Texas anything higher than a 9th seed? Virgina Tech only an 11 seed? Texas A&M missing the field? Are you people serious?
I’m totally calm with the OU decision because I at various points questioned their place in the tournament during the season because of their inability to close out close games.
Jim Nance and Chuck…do us all a favor. Tell the NCAA to reduce the number of Big Ten people in the mix and help restore men’s college basketball get back to where it once stood in the American sports calendar.
So with OU not making the field…where is my heart in this NCAA Tournament? It’s in two, maybe three places. One place is with Mark Adams and his defensive minded Texas Tech Red Raiders, the other place is with the sharp shooting Virgina Tech Hokies who kind of remind me a little of Mick Cronin’s UCLA Bruins last spring when they had to play their way into the tournament. And then third, ‘maybe’…with my wife’s Auburn Tigers and Coach Bruce Pearl.
Tom Brady.. here’s the thing, bud…glad you’re back, but right now Matthew Stafford is the residing GOAT for at least until the next Super Bowl.
