St Patrick’s Day madness.
Okay, I’m not a Catholic. But who put the corned beef and cabbage holiday smack in the middle of Lent?’

New St. Paddy’s toast: “May your troubles last as long as your intact brackets.”

A note in advance, before you crow over your first upset, you get more crediblity if you know where your “team” s college actually is. At least have it narrowed down to the right state. And having some clue of the team’s mascot doesn’t hurt either.

Hooters is encouraging fans to visit “HootersHookyDay.com to download both a doctor’s note and a free appetizer coupon for this Thursday and Friday during the NCAA first round basketball games. Of course, if you spend several hours drinking beer and eating Hooters chicken wings you won’t need to fake the doctor’s note the next day.

The Republican National Committe chair criticized President Obama for taking time to fill out a NCAA bracket in the midst of the “budget and other pressing issues?” Give me a break, Barack picked the top seed to win each bracket. How much time could it have taken?

Neil Diamond was inducted last night into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If Elvis wasn’t dead this just killed him.

The NFL says they will give out more suspensions for illegal hits in 2011. Actually the way it looks like things are going, there will be NO illegal hits in 2011. Or any other hits for that matter

Michele Bachman is still complaining about the media’s treatment of her because she stated, twice, that the “shot heard round the world” that started the Revolutionary war was fired in Lexington, New Hamphire.
Meanwhile, other Republicans are trying to make sure Bachman doesn’t have any speaking engagements scheduled in Alamo, California.

Federal prosecutors released voicemail messages from Barry Bonds to his mistress. The claim is because Bonds sounds like a angry jerk in many of them, that this was the result of steroids fueled rage. The defense will presumably counter with the argument – Barry has ALWAYS been a jerk.

The Sacramento Kings have already filed trademark registrations for four names in preparation for a possible move to Southern California: Anaheim Royals, Anaheim Royals of Southern California, Orange County Royals and Los Angeles Royals.
Well, considering how much the team stinks on a regular basis, a more fitting name might be the Kansas City Royals, but that’s already taken.

And regarding this Sacramento Kings/Royals stuff. Aren’t American Indian tribes suing to stop what they feel that it’s insulting to their name to have it on a team’s mascots? So I presume some relative of the British royal family might know enough basketball to issue a “cease and desist” order to the team wherever they end up.
On the other hand, if the Lakers wanted to call themselves the Royals, this could probably be arranged.

Atlanta Braves minor league manager and former player Luis Salazar will lose an eye after being hit in the face with a foul line drive during a spring training game. Sad, but amazing this doesn’t happen more often. Especially at places like A T & T park in San Francisco, where half the fans in field club pay more attention to their cell phones than the game.

Does that mean that the Sacramento Queens will be moving to Flushing Meadows, Queens? With the East River so close, either franchise could share the same name, The Royal Flushings.
The GOP making sure Michelle Bachman doesn’t speak at King of Prussia PA, lest she claim that Obama allowing royalty elite to set up business in America.

So President Obama has made his NCAA picks. Haven’t seen em all, but I hear he is not giving much support to the University of Tripoli Rebels

President Obama has picked the favored #1 seeds to advance to th Final 4, with Kansas winning the Championship. Clinton says he’s only intersted in the women’s NCAA bracket. George W is down to two teams to win, can’t make up his mind on the Texas Rangers or the Longhorns. George Sr has picked the team that scores the most points in the last game. When asked to comment on The Final 4, Canadian Prime Minister Harper said, You mean Tiger Woods has finally killed someone with one of his errant tee shots?
So what’s next? Stay tuned for White Presidents Can’t Jump; starring Michael Jordan as the Prez.

Jalen Rose of Michigan’s Fab Five and former Duke star Grant Hill are in a war of words over Rose’s comment that Duke recruits blacks who are Uncle Toms. Attempting to mediate, Chris Webber has called for an immediate timeout ….ooops

It’s not just at baseball games or A T & T where you see people on their cell phones. I saw it on National TV just last night at a hockey game. Come on people, if you pay that much to go to a game, Watch the bloody game. Why are you texting your friends – to ask them if they just saw you on TV texting??????????

My St.Paddy’s day joke – An American asks an Irishman, why do scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats? To which the Irishman replies “If they fell forwards, they still be in the bloody boat”! Groan……..
