March Madness news and notes

It's time for some craziness. The theatre of the absurd. Anything can happen. Have you filled out your bracket? Look, I won't pretend to be an expert on the NCAA basketball tournament. But I am always intrigued at which underdog teams will prevail and go on a run.

So, in that spirit, courtesy of DeadHitSports, my Weekend Game Plan sponsor, we present these great articles ahead of the big dance:

Top 5 March Madness Bracket Facts

NCAA Basketball Tournament Tidbits

So there you have it. The only thing left to do is fill out a bracket, watch the game action, roll your eyes at how wrong you were in your predictions and wait for next year's tournament.

Thank goodness for MLB season

Even though it's mild outside for the end of February, it's still been a long winter. With the Canadiens tanking for a second consecutive season, I am more than elated that the Major League Baseball season is around the corner.

Spring training action got under way today and I for one can't wait until the Pirates and Blue Jays are in Montreal at the end of March (well, mainly because I am in the TSN 690 booth for the pre and post game shows).

But the excitement of a new baseball season and the warm weather that it brings has me writing more baseball stuff for Dead Hit Sports.

How will Boston's new Big 3 in the rotation do? Can the Cubs be just as dominant? What about the Angels; will Mike Scoscia last the year as manager? And can the Dodgers finally get over the hump and reach the World Series?

With the preseason already in full swing it's only a matter of time before the preceding questions play out. Buckle up, baseball fans, here we go!
