The Sports Calendar Is Heating Up

Déjà Bru · 02-17-2023, 07:21 AM

I felt the need to share my joy.

More joy.

Seven articles in, yet no mention of an actual season actually starting this weekend (NASCAR) so far.

Keep trying, Mrs. Ziegler, you'll hit it eventually.

I believe there is a hockey season happening at the moment. Where's her article on that?

She did one of these slideshow things back around Christmas time:

And, sorry, there was no mention of hockey or NASCAR then, either.

To each his own, and that's how it should be

For me, I'm very much looking forward to the Daytona 500 on Sunday (and enjoyed the Duals last night), and while I'm an NBA fan and might watch the Saturday evening competitions, I've zero interest in the NBA All-Star Game. The game itself might be almost interesting, but all of the mugging, schmoozing, and focus on mostly-irritating personalities is too much for me (which is why the skills competition & 3-pt stuff will be watched only on dvr - so I can fast-fwd thru all of the nonsense).

Also, the XFL kicks off this weekend. I'm sure I'll be in the minority here, but I'll be watching. Not nearly as intently as I do the NFL, but it'll be on in the background and I'll certainly catch some of it. (The USFL doesn't start until April.)

Yes. Sports is the thing! The more, the merrier.

For me, this time of year is fun, sports wise, because the Premiere League is heading in the stretch run, baseball is starting up (less and less exciting every year, sadly), NCAA Basketball is getting ready for March Madness, and MLS is only a couple weeks away!

Yes, it's almost time to revive that "MLS is Back!" thread, Boomcoach.

I might try me some XFL this afternoon.

Mind you, if either MLB team for whom I have televised privileges were playing an exhibition game today, the XFL would be pre-empted. Baseball was my first love and will always take precedence.

Jon Jones(UFC) has had three failed steroid test, a hit and run conviction, and a domestic abuse arrest, plus other controversies. How many chances does this guy get?
