March Madness

The greatest tournament in the world is upon us friends. It is 3:00 Eastern, I am currently sipping on my second adult beverage and I've survived the first group of games with my bracket intact. There are some changes to coverage of this years tournament that I wanted to talk about. In years past, games were televised on CBS only. While they always did a stand up job in bringing you to games that were close, you were still forced into watching games that the suits at CBS deemed as the "most watchable." Changes were made for this years tournament and let me tell you, it's glorious. Games are now shown on CBS, TNT, TBS & TruTV (what?). They have staggered the games so there is a game to watch from opening tip at noon until the final game ending past midnight. I'm absolutely loving this. While I've found myself getting a bit trigger happy with the remote, preventing me from "getting into" one particular game, at least we now have the opportunity to watch the games we are interested in. Great job NCAA, you've made a great event even better.
