That Time of Year (Baby!)

The NCAA tournament is now only moments from being announced.

In a time where the this administration in charge throw unparalleled distraction--from tough talk to declaration a la Hollywood that the war has been won--it is interesting to consider what kind of an impact the Super Bowl, World Series and March Madness have on reminding us that things can be good.

So, what is it that keeps us focused long after our team has exited? Is it the common objective of hard work? Is it the stories of kid before his time--Magic vs. Bird, Jordan hits winning shot.

Why does America need this so much? Is there anything comparable in the world?

Whatever it is, I love to watch. I love to be a part of this mystic connection that fans share.
