While one could make a case for the first 2 days of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, my favorite time of the sporting year is right now. The NFL season is in full swing at the same time as MLB playoffs, and finally, the World Series. This time of year is when I miss having 2 TVs side-by-side as I did in my bachelor days.
Tonight, the Philadelphia Phillies are attempting to clinch the series by winning Game 5 at home. It's 39 degrees and pouring in Philly right now, the game is tied through 5 and a half. Tampa Bay tied things up in the top of the inning, then play was quickly halted. The game most likely won't be finished tonight, as the radar forecast looks horrid. Really makes you wonder if the umps were just waiting for the Rays to score so that play could be suspended and Philly wouldn't win the World Series via a rainout. That would have blown.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans try to remain the only undefeated team in the league as they take on the Indianapolis Colts in Nashville on Monday Night Football. The Titans have come back from being down by 8 to now leading by 3 early in the 4th quarter. Indy's driving though. It's a great game though-both of these teams are great to watch. Tennessee's defense is awesome-they just stopped Indy on 4th down for the 2nd time in the last 10 minutes. Peyton and the boys still seem to move the ball at will-even though they've lost a few games this year. And while people tend to think of the Titans as defensive, and Indy as offensively focused-these teams are strong on both sides of the ball. The urgency, the sense of purpose, the team identity, the poise, and the toughness that both of these teams exude make the NFL a lot fun to experience. These 2 teams are nothing like the Cincinnati Bengals.
Well-looks like they suspended the baseball game till tomorrow...at least I can give the remote a rest and quit flipping back and forth.
