Ok, so I don’t watch a ton of basketball, but I do like the whole March Madness deal. So I’m a little confused and concerned…why does March Madness not end until April 7th? It doesn’t even start until March 20th. If I were the month of April, I’d be ticked off — the championship is in my month, but I get no recognition whatsover! I smell a lawsuit coming - Case #539826 on the docket, The Month of April v. March Madness, the NCAA, et. al., the Honorable Judge February presiding.

Seriously, I guess it’s the same as what’s happening in the NFL, NCAA football, etc. - the longer you stretch the season out, the more advertising revenue you get. Look at NCAA football, some teams go 40+ days between their last game and their bowl game — “Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m proud to present your 2007 Champions” - in January of 2008 and the NFL champ is crowned in February of the following year.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s all just plain false advertising! The only sport that hasn’t let me down is auto racing, where the 24 Hours at Daytona lasts…wait for it…24 hours! (Disclaimer: I’ve never seen the 24 Hours at Daytona — but it sounds good in this context!)

So go ahead and enjoy March Madness, but give a shout out to April - we all need love!
