Neal, take a pill....or a drag or something. You need calm down, seriously. You sound like a grumpy, old fart bringing this up. I'm not going to try to convince you to get involved with college basketball, b/c you seem like a stubborn ass, but maybe you should at least stop poopin' in everyone else's Cheerios.

It ain't a real sport unless EVERYONE gets a stick.

Anyone who sits on the couch and watches sports is the biggest loser I've ever encountered. These pathetic morons ride around town with those stupid college logos or "professional" team logos on their cars, decorate their offices with UGA or Tennessee emblems and talk all day long about how they are excited over what rank their team is in. Who cares? You are a drooling dipwad who has nothing better to do with your life, other than go deer hunting and chew tobacco. If you have any Nascar emblem on your car or office wall, you're twice as bad, because you obviously slept with your cousin at some point.

Neal, I agree most of the time with you, but to tell you the truth, this is the only time of the year I really sit and watch sports. College Basketball is the highlight of the year for me. There is so much passion to win, and so much desire to be the best, it's infectious. If only we could take the determination, desire, passion, and commitment and feed to to the koolaide drinkers out there and have them apply it to their Government run lives, then maybe we stand a chance at reversing this train wreck Obama and the DemonCrats are creating. I have two children who are growing up and will be left with this mess. I have such difficulty understanding WHY anyone thinks the way these bleeding heart liberals do. Then I tune in and I am reminded of the atrocities of government edu. ANYWAY, Lay off my college basketball, find the positive in it, if people had the heart and drive some of the basketball players have, then maybe the next election will turn out differently, but I do agree that some, less than more tho, could barely read the accounts of their games with a mild degree of comprehension. I bet you tho that they could make a rap abulm! Which if congress would pass the fairtax their lack of education and high record sales equates to lots of money spent.... you get the picture.

I will not watch college sports until the player are paid. Why is it they are the only ones not getting paid?

I have no problem with people who like to watch sports...but it is amazing how incredibly ridicules people are with it.

I have a neighbor who painted his whole fence after "his" team colors...I look at these people with pity. They have NO life.

Spectator sports are for all the lazy people out there that think they are sports fans but are too lazy or fat to actually DO anything active.How can it be fun to watch someone else play a child's game?And some of you guys actually pay money to watch someone that won't grow up play a child's game.

Bring on the boys of summer!

The only thing more boring than watching golf is watching basketball.

Couldn't agree more, Neal. I eagerly look forward to the moment it's over. The instrument has yet to be invented to measure how little I care about it. Fortunately, my friends have figured out that it's a waste of time to talk to me about it, much less ask me to get into a pool.

You seem to be down on sports, Neal. I agree that America seems to be more fixated on sports (and American Idol)than on important economic and political issues, but I happen to enjoy sports quite a bit and participate in the occasional pool; it's one of the few enjoyable distractions I have left. It does not mean I could not write a cogent article on the differences between socialist and capitalist economic systems or name the 9 U.S. Supreme Court justices (although sometimes I forget Stevens - which is okay since he's 88, he tends to forget things too).
