March Madness

Holy Crap, I had that in my picks! Since my picks always suck anyway, I figured I would go by mascots. A golden eagle vs a a chocolate confection with peanut butter? No contest!
By the way, I have high hopes for the Drexel Dragons this year...

Where do you fall on a Beaver against a Volunteer? My Alma Mater just won it's first NCAA tournament game in 39 years.

I've never followed March Madness before.
The only sport I really watch on TV is NFL football.

Did y'all see this?
CBS Sports: "It turns out that Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James isn't indestructible after all. During L.A.'s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday afternoon, James was forced to leave the game after twisting his ankle during the second quarter. While trying to secure a loose ball, Hawks forward Solomon Hill fell on top of James' right ankle and James fell to the floor in pain."

As athletes get older, they pick up more injuries and recovery time is longer.
A high ankle sprain is serious. He might come back, but he won't be the same player for a long time...

@jolly Yeah . . . it must be surreal for athletes -- doing the work to get to the top, king of the mountain, best of the best one minute, and then in one second it can all be torn away.

When you are tuned just for performance, the injuries get more catastrophic.

There's a documentary about Kobe Bryant's recovery from his late career achilles rupture. He came back in about 8 months. Those top level athletes whose lives are the game will surprise you with how fast they can come back. Not to mention the world class daily medical attention they get during the recovery.

That's quick. An achilles is usually twelve months.
Big guys who depend upon explosiveness may never come back all the way...

Sister Jean is back!
101! She had her vaccinations so she could attend.

Belichick on the Pats' free agency spending spree: "We are excited about the additions to our roster so far this year. Whether by trade, free agency or re-signings, the group brings a good mix of offense, defense and special teams. It was great to see them in the building, including some familiar faces, and we are all looking forward to continue building toward the upcoming season."
Pure poetry, eh? Hope he coaches better than he talks.
He went on, "And it has nothing to do with
