From the March 3, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Not so mad about March."
Right now, we are having a good time in Chicago as we have two teams in the playoffs, the Blackhawks and the Bulls. I don't imagine the Bulls will get past the Heat, but even so, it's been an exciting ride. Especially since both of our baseball teams, as they say, "Are Leading Last." Meaning, last place teams.
The Tribune sports folk went through the calendar and ranked their favorite months and gave reasons.
JANUARY-- Rank #3: Three rounds of NFL playoff, BCS Title Game (not so good this year), college bowl games, NHL Winter Classic.
FEBRUARY-- Rank #9: Not much beyond Super Bowl and Daytona 500. Maybe NHL and NBA All-Star games.
MARCH-- Rank #6: Conference hoops tourneys, most exciting days of NCAA tournament. Spring training, Dog Days of NBA and NHL seasons. No football (Arena Football?)
APRIL-- Rank #4: Baseball returns, The Final Four, Masters, Start of NBA and NHL Playoffs. And NFL Draft "Perhaps the best sporting event that isn't a game." (Oops, I'm stuck. Final Four? Drawing a complete blank.)
MAY-- Rank #5: NBA and NHL Playoffs get serious. Indy 500, French Open, Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Even a Spelling Bee to make us feel stupid. I still think they make up those words.
JUNE-- Rank #8: NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Final, U.S. Open, NBA Draft and Belmont. Go Triple Crown.
Maybe I'll Have to Come Up With My Own Ranking. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
