The Picks are In..

and the NCAA 2009 Men's Basketball tourney winner will be....

North Carolina.

Yes, I know real exciting. I'm really going out on a limb by picking the Tar Heels.

I'm known for being off the wall and crazy with my picks as I had all four Number 1 seeds (correctly so) going to the Final Four 4 last year, with North Carolina winning. Stupid Kansas Jayhawks, they're stupid.

If at first you don't succeed, then pick the Tar Heels again.

I stayed away from picking all the top seeds to reach the Final Four again this year and went with Louisville, Memphis, Pitt and NC, with Carolina beating Memphis in the finals.

Let the Madness begin.

A-Fraud is a Major Tool

I'm sure this will play well for A-Fraud in the New York Yankees clubhouse and in the New York media. Can't this guy stay out of the news for one week, even when he's hurt and not playing?

He literally just kissed (not only himself) but the chance at a World Series title away, because there is no chance that someone who kisses themselves in a mirror will ever win a championship. New York fans take heart because that means no World Series title for the Bronx Bombers for the next nine years.

By the way, who the hell kisses their own image in a mirror? What is that? A-Fraud is so stupid that he thought that this photo would play well/was a good idea - idiot. All those steroids rotted out his brain. I'm sure A-Rod is in favor of human cloning so he could have another version of himself running around to check out and make googly eyes at.

Again, just another example of money (10 years, $300 million) well spent by the Yankees. First A-Fraud, then C.C., the whale, then A.J. Burnett (who will turn out to be a newer, as-often-injured version of Carl Pavano).

It's a Rite of Spring, the Boston Bruins Still Suck

It's March, that must mean it's time for:

A spring training column about the Boston Red Sox. Nope

A NCAA tournament column. Nope.

How about the annual 'Boston Bruins Suck, They are Going to Choke in the Playoffs Again.' column?

"Bingo, we have Bingo. Ding, ding, ding, ding."

There comes a time during every Bruins season (no matter how successful) where I look up and say. "The Bruins suck, they've always sucked, and they'll continue to suck."

While the Bruins have been very good this season to a point, it never fails that they will ultimately show their true colors - that they are not that good and that fans will again be disappointed with a poor showing/knockout in the first round.

It may have taken a little longer, but we've now reached that point of this season with the Black and Gold. Over the past five weeks, they've won six times (in 18 games) and have seen their previously thought of insurmountable point lead in the East dwindle to six points. New Jersey (six points) and Washington (seven points) are creeping closer to the top spot.

If they are able to hold on to the top spot, it may not mean much as Boston would face tough first-round challenges against Florida, NY Rangers, and possibly Pittsburgh. Though, the Penguins have played better as of late, moving up three spots out of the eighth spot they were fighting for last week.

Man, I hope the Bruins play Pittsburgh in the first round because the Penguins would kill them (as they did on Sunday) and I would win my bet. It would again prove that it doesn't matter where Boston finishes in the standings because when the weather gets warmer the Bruins won't fail to disappoint.
