President's Day

President's Day.  What a Holiday!  It's a reminder that winter is winding down and your treated to a nice little three day weekend.  There's nothing more fun than a day off in February.   When March 1st rolls around, it is time for all true sports fans to get ready to rock and roll with the three headed monster.  March Madness, Beisbol and to cap it off the NBA is going to prove why it really is Fantastic  Get jacked folks.  

With the Giants football run, I really have not gotten into College Hoops yet, but now I won't be able to help it.  Conference tournaments are just around the corner and I'm gettin the feeling that this is going to be yet another special March Madness Baby!  In just a week we're all gonna start talking like Dick Vitale Baby!  (By the way, when Dickie V writes an e-mail, do you think he uses exclamation points on every sentence he writes?)  Oh and another quick thing on Vitale.  I was thinking it would be funny to get someone who does a good Dickie V voice  dressed up to resemble the rambling goof that is Dick Vitale.  Ya Know, someone that could play the part.  Of course  Vitale could just play the role himself  Here's the sketch: A documentary that goes through random moments of his life.  The birth of his kids, coaching at Seton Hall, heck even a marriage proposal to his wife.  "Will you marry me Baby?!"  Part of me thinks that this would be hysterical, but there's another part of me that thinks this wouldn't work.  Because Vitle is so damn annoying?"  Cue the college stoner imitation:  Dude, I'm stoked about March Madness.  One thing I know is that you have five special teams that could all give the Miami Heat a run for their money.  Memphis, Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, and how about Kansas?  Every player on that team has the speed of a mongoose.  I can't wait to find out the final destination of these five squads.  March Madness baba!

Here in New York though, Baseball is still King of the Apple and with the addition of Johan Santana, the Mets are gonna try to cut right through the core. Amazin fans everywhere feel that this team, the 2008 Mets,  will lead themselves into an October Joyride.  The Yankees?  Well, they haven't missed the playoffs since 1993 and you better believe that with a first year manager in the last season in the house that Ruth built that the drama is ready to unfold.

Lastly, the NBA, bro.  The 2008 playoffs are going to be wonderful.  We all know this.  And what's great is we have all these great trades recently, and that just adds to the upcoming excitement.  Kidd to the Mavs, Shaq to the Desert.  I'm salivating at the possible must see TV match-ups.  So many scenarios, so many possibilities.

  So, here's to all the presidents, especially these 3.  

Here's to LBJ, in my mind, the most underrated Pres of all time.  Cue the Vitale voice:  Urban Renewal BABY!  He was put in one of the toughest scenarios in American History after JFK's death and the guy never made excuses.  (And his wife had the coolest name a first lady could ever have.  If you don't know it, shame on you, go GOOGLE it yourself.) 

Here's to Andrew Jackson AKA Ole Hickory, my second favorite president of all time.  The first gangsta to get into the the white house.  

And my favorite president of all time?  I'll give you a hint, I always look out for #1 baby! 

If you still don't know then meet down at the strip club and we can throw some DOLLER bills in the air.

Happy President's Day......
