Along with the crack of the bat in spring training and the wall-to-wall coverage of the marathon NFL draft, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament ranks among the most cherished and anticipated rites of spring for dedicated television-watching sports fans. When the brackets come out each year, you’ll typically find two types of columns written by sportswriters.

The Yankees thought they were giving superfan Billy Crystal a nice gift for his 60th birthday. A one-day contract. A uniform with the number “60″ on it. A spot in the lineup as a Designated Hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates. However what started out as a one-shot publicity stunt has turned into something much more.

Professional golfer Tripp Isenhour got into a bit of trouble for killing a rare bird on December 12 with a golf ball. It seems Isenhour was upset that the hawk was making too much noise while he was trying to shoot a video.

As Tiger Woods continues his domination of seemingly every golf tournament he enters, signs of vulnerability off the course have crept into his repertoire. Never has this been more apparent than at a recent impromptu Accenture Beer Chugging Championship in Marana, Arizona.

Brett Favre is continuing a seven year trend this offseason, not divulging to his employers one way or the other as to his status for the upcoming season. Wisconsin is all abuzz. Will he come back for another season after last year’s renaissance? Or is it time to call it a career? Favre’s off-field indecision has become as much legend as his on-the-field prowess.

Many Americans probably find it hard to believe that an outdoor sport, such as cycling, has already started its season. As a few die hard cycling fans may be aware, however, the 2008 Tour of California is currently going on and is set to end tomorrow. There was an exciting sprint finish at the end of Stage 6 today, though.

This week baseball players around the United States are putting down their beers, putting their La-Z-Boys in their upright and locked position and reporting for Spring Training. Fans start winding down from the fast action/hard hitting NFL season and begin to settle in for the 162 game season that is Major League Baseball. But what is the question on everybody’s mind? Will the BoSox repeat? Will Joe Torre be good for the Dodgers? Will the Phillie Phanatic finally win a spot in the starting rotation? The answer of course is… None of the above. Why? Simply put, everyone and their mother is talking about steroids.

What started as another seasonable, sun-soaked day in Perfectville, soon turned chaotic as a horde of marauding Bostonians attacked the domicile of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who remain the only undefeated team in NFL history.

PHOENIX, AZ - Fed up with their unique, fast-paced brand of championship-caliber basketball, Suns GM Steve Kerr shipped 4-time All-Star Shawn Marion and reserve Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat in exchange for infirm rapper/actor Shaquille O’Neal. The move, coming just days before the All-Star Break, is designed to render the Suns’ high-powered offense completely impotent and nondescript by season’s end.

Background:
As most people are aware, there was a big football game going on last Sunday. It was some sort of championship between two teams that were not located in the Midwest. One team was undefeated and the other team’s quarterback is the younger brother of the great Peyton Manning. Anyway, as a native Hoosier living in Chicago, I found the game to be totally pointless and have decided to focus instead on another weekend match-up that hits a bit closer to home. Oh, and if anyone is curious… The team that had been undefeated choked big time.

Eric Mangini hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, and put on his best cat-swallowing-the-canary grin. The “Man-Genius” had come off a difficult season in which his New York Jets crashed to a 4-12 record. Mangini was widely vilified within the coaching community for blowing the whistle on his former mentor, Bill Belichick, for videotaping the Jets’ defensive signals. Mangini was also targeted by fans and sports reporters for his stubborn refusal to bench Chad Pennington, even though it was clear that Pennington could no longer out-throw the team’s eight year old water boy. Mangini’s reputation as a defensive guru also took a hit as football observers constantly wondered whether his 3-4 formation was compatible with his roster of defensive players.
