Wait.....What??

A couple days ago Verb tried to tell you that there is stuff going on in sports. He is full of it.

We all know that February, along with July, are the worst months for sports in the entire year. And honestly August isn't too much better but it helps that football is right around the corner and at least there are preseason games to get a minute or two of football each week.

I mean what you could possibly be excited about right now?

The Combine. Please. It is the biggest farce in the whole draft process. Every year a player comes in and puts on this great show and is all of a sudden a can't miss prospect. And half of the players don't even do anything anymore. They would rather save themselves for their schools pro day in the spring where the conditions are more favorable for them.

The NBA. Why now? If you have a favorite team and you follow them than sure you are excited all season. But for anyone else the NBA doesn't matter right now. Hell just look at the trade deadline yesterday. All month we had heard rumors about big names on the block and then the day came and went with nothing much happening.

And the games are relatively boring. I mean this is the most top heavy league in all of sports. You have about 5 teams that have a legitimate shot at the finals and everyone knows it. And the thing with the NBA is that upsets don't usually happen in the playoffs. The favorites generally make it. So why watch the season?

The NHL. Same as the NBA. If you have a team that you follow it will surely be exciting but for the most part fans are waiting for the playoffs. Add to that the limited number of fans and you have no excitement.

Nascar. Yawn!! I enjoy a little racing from time to time. Usually I can watch the races at tracks like Daytona or Talladega because they are exciting the whole time. But this past Sunday I couldn't even stay awake for the Daytona 500. And the damn thing ended halfway through. The sport (or whatever you want to call it) is barely watchable.

College Basketball. Is it March? We all know the regular season of college basketball is pretty meaningless. I enjoy watching a few minutes of a few games but for the most part there is only 1 game per week that is really worth watching. Now in a few weeks it will be the most amazing thing going on but right now.....Yawn!

Baseball. Who cares about A-Rod? I mean other than all the talking heads on tv does anyone else care? Sure Red Sox fans are in heaven and Yankee fans are pissed but me...I don't give a damn. Half the players cheated in that time frame and it doesn't bother me. But then again I am not a traditionalist and couldn't care less who the home run king is.

And spring training hasn't truly started yet. Like College BB this sport really gets going in March. Until then...let me sleep.


Other than that what is going on? Someone give me something. Come March the excitement returns but February might just be the 2nd worst month for sports all year.
