Yeah you're feeling good good good on that overload but then it all ends April 4 and you realize it's over until next November...basketball is over. Sure you might get a little hit on that methadone-like NBA finals, but deep down you know it's not the same.
I love the NCAA mens tournament even if the first games aren't over yet and I'm pretty much mathematically eliminated from my office pool. I like the nonstop basketball from noon until midnight, interrupted only by some news and the halftime reports. I'm not sure why they even do halftime reports the first weekend: why not just cut over to another game so we don't have to listen to Greg Gumbel and cohorts spout platitudes and catch phrases?
I'm of the opinion that the first weekend of the tournament should be declared a holiday: a four day weekend of roundball with street theater, impromptu hootenannies, and suspension of parking regulations in the District of Columbia. Major intersections should be converted into outdoor courts on Saturday and Sunday mornings pre-games. Tony Williams, who has been known to play basketball (if awkwardly), can connect to his fellow federal subjects.
Well, on with the show...
