After a short summer hiatus, your favorite College and Professional sports blog is back. The return to school means that the NFL is about to start up again. Recent data has shown that the NFL is America’s most popular pro sports league, especially popular in the Northeast, which means it’s pretty popular at NCHS.

The NBA season may have been shortened this year from 82 games to 66 games due to the lockout, but the playoffs are the normal length. You need to win 4 best of 7 series in order to win the NBA championship.

We’re about three weeks removed from Opening Day, but the baseball season is still in its infancy. That means we’ve got enough time left to make some predictions.
AL East- New York Yankees. The Yankees didn’t have any big signings over the winter, but they did make a few beneficial moves. The AL East will be very competitive, but the Yankees are the best team. C.C Sabathia anchors the rotation, and Mark Teixera, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez are part of a strong lineup. Granderson and Jeter are on fire thus far, each with an OPS over 1.000.

The second weekend of the NCAA tournament gave us a great slate of games. Every single one of the 12 games was entertaining in its own way. There are now just four teams that are left: Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, and Kansas. There are no more mid majors left in the field. Just the big boys. The four teams have combined for 49 final four appearances. That’s a ridiculous number.
Before we look ahead to this weekend, let’s look back at this past weekend and what we learned:

By now, you are probably in the same position as I am. In other words, your bracket probably has been busted.
I had a very good opening session on Thursday. I only missed one game. But then, I started missing left and right. South Dakota State lost to Baylor. VCU beat Wichita State. UNLV lost to Colorado. And so on and so forth.
I don’t want my bracketing mishaps to take away from a very good first weekend of games. Friday was particularly crazy, with two 15 or 2 seed upsets.
