With the “so-called” National Championship game now over and the NFL playoffs edging closer to a conclusion, I always feel a sense of panic this time of year.

And the fact that one of my favorite teams (the Saints) is out of the mix it even makes even more pronounced. I’m not an NBA fan. Haven’t been since the days of Magic vs. Bird and really since the era of Maravich. Besides I’m really tired of the Melo trade talk here in Denver. it seems a long way off until the Rockies open spring training. They trained in Tucson until this coming spring and I made many journeys to that lovely city during that time. It pains me to know the people of Tucson are going through what we experienced at Columbine.

I am back on board with the NHL, after giving it a rest after the ugly Bertuzzi cheap shot years back so there’s that. But, still, the end of the football season is always tough on a lot of us. If you feel like I do please, oh, please feel free to comment.
