Now it’s down to two. I’ll be rooting for Butler in the final game of a very strange NCAA tournament. The weekends games were great and I’m really hoping the final will be as good. This cartoon is featured on ESPN.com for Monday morning. A few thoughts about the weekend of sports and this coming week…

* Carmelo Anthony got what he wanted after all. His appearance on Saturday Night Live spoke volumes about him and his sense of priorities. He wants the limelight in the big city. He’ll find out soon enough that if you don’t win in New York, the limelight eventually burns you. Bad.

* Madden football is going to include concussions in it’s 2012 edition of the successful video game. Really? I actually think an option to play the owners vs. the players with both sides dressed like clowns would be much more fun.

* The Avalanche season will be over soon. Thank the good Lord in the Great Heaven above.

*VCU actually rioted Saturday night after losing their semi-final game against Butler. Thank goodness they didn’t win. Imagine THAT mess.

* The Nuggets are the scariest team in the NBA right now. No one wants to face them in the playoffs with the way they are playing right now. Who would have thought?
