Is this the best week of the year in sports?

[Benihana]

1. Opening Day
2. NCAA Final Four and Championship Game
3. The Masters
4. NFL Draft rumor mill grinding (see Donovan McNabb trade) with the draft only 3 weeks away

Is there a better week in sports? The only other time I can think of is mid-October with the World Series, NFL and College Football in the swing of things, and College Basketball getting ready to start in a few weeks. Still, I love this time of year!

-Opening Day - Excellent (the Yanks-Sox game was terrific last night)
-Duke vs. Butler - Not so excellent...no one should make the final shooting 30.6% in the semi. (yuck)
-The Masters - Tiger is not going to play well and is going to overshadow the golf. (yuck)
-NFL Offseason -Triple Yuck. I feel like the NFL offseason is ESPN's greatest achievement. "Let's spend tons of time and make tons of money talking about not-games." Count me out.

Here is what you did leave out.
-Quarterfinals of the Champions League. Will Rooney come back for the game vs. Bayern Munich?

(BTW, my students call me BK - Buzz-kill....so sorry for the negativity.)

I saw no way around taking today off.

Reds game at noon - beer.
Nap by the pool - 4pm

Shaping up to be a nice day.
