Greatest Week for Sports!

Right now, this week, the upcoming 7 days is easily the best week of sports in the entire year. Why you ask? Well let me give you the Top 7 Reasons...

7. Game every night! - Right now pretty much every major sport is in session. Whether the season has just begun, is in full swing or winding down you can catch some type of game very single night of the week. No other time of year can you say this. What more can you ask for!

6. Hockey - I will not sit here and lie, can't say I catch too much hockey. Went to my first pro hockey game just a week ago and went to a second since. I can tell you this, I will be watching more. Fights, hard hits, beer, fights, more hard hits, and shooting a little black thing 75 mph towards someone's head. Not a bad thing to watch any night of the week. (there you go @laxdude9)

5. NFL in full swing - Vikings beat Packers today in one of the best games of the year. Still two undefeated teams in the league, would be three if Denver hadn't lost, after being expected to win about three games the entire season. Miami's Ted Ginn, not heard from the entire season, runs two kickoffs back for over 100 yards for TD's in a close win over the Jets. Halfway through the season and the playoff picture is blurry for most of the teams. Every week is worth watching.

4. NBA getting going - Another season of NBA. Lebron and Shaq now playing together. Ron Artest on the defending champion Lakers. Blake Griffin on the shittiest team in basketball. So many storylines here it is already shaping up to me a tremendous season.

3. BCS taking form - College Football is just getting good. All the stragglers have been dealt with (Ohio St., BYU, Oklahoma), all the front-runners have been confirmed (Florida, Texas, Alabama), and all the unexpected teams have either established themselves or been extinguished (Iowa, TCU, Boise St). Some crazy upsets have mixed things up and the bowl picture is still up in the air for the most part. Great time for NCAA Football!

2. World Series - Most people can't sit and watch 163 games for ANY team, but they have no problem watching seven games between the two best teams in baseball. The World Series ratings are still unbelievable high, and right now give us the last few games that will decide the champion. This year is Yankees and Phillies and not to disappoint, we have a great series going.

And the number one reason this is the greatest week of sports...

1. NCAA Basketball - This week is the beginning of the College Basketball. I know some might not put this at #1, but March Madness is my favorite time of year and this is the beginning of the road to Indianapolis. The Top 25 rankings just came out (which are bullshit as always like I wrote about a couple days ago http://fanfusion.blogspot.com/2009/10/reliably-rong-rankings.html), the teams start their preseason this week and the early season tournaments are about to begin. Can't ever get enough NCAA Basketball!

So as you can see, this very week is the best in sports you will find. Enjoy this week, because another won't come along for another full year!
