Well it has been nearly two weeks since I last blogged so I decided to give you guys an update on my life as well as my thoughts on a couple of recent events in the world of sports. First of all I am currently on Spring Break and am heading to Miami in less then 12 hours for a Hillel sponsored community service trip and am really looking forward to hanging out with friends, meeting new friends and making a difference in the Miami community. School has been going well, classes are good, and I am having a lot of fun being involved in Hillel and AEPI and have made a lot of great friends who I hope I have for life. Also last week I went to Koach Kallah in Reisterstown where I met a lot of cool people and learned of new ways to improve Jewish life at Towson. I am really excited about the next two months of school but I realize I am going to have to work hard to keep my grades up to where they have been in the past.
Since I have last blogged a lot of newsworthy events have taken place in the world of sports. First of all my favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens, finally have a receiving core as they stole Anquan Boldin from the Cardinals along with a 5th rounder for a 3rd and 4th rounder. This is on top of the fact that we signed Dante Stallworth and re-signed Derrick Mason. So now we have a first rounder and a 2nd rounder to spend on other needs such as Corner (Kyle Wilson, Kareem Jackson, Devin McCoutry) a Pass-Rusher (Jared Odrick and Everson Griffin). If we fill one or both of those needs we will be the favorite to make it to and hopefully win Super Bowl 45.
Also there have been a lot of reports regarding Tiger Woods and his return i say if he returns at the Masters ratings will be amazing but his play won't be because he will be rusty. That is why he should return at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill to shake the rust off. In any scenario golf needs him to return because the sport is irrelevant without him.
In college basketball the story should be the dominance of the UCONN women's team who makes top 10 and top 5 teams look like high school teams on their way to 72 straight wins and counting (all by double digits). On the Men's side of things without seeing the brackets, which come out tomorrow, I would have to make Kansas the clear cut favorite and my sleeper is Butler
In other sports both the NHL and NASCAR are dealing with safety issues that they must address. In NASCAR's case they did not punish Carl Edwards enough for his intentional wrecking of Brad Keslowski when he was 150 laps down last week. He should have been suspended at least 1 week and placed on a season long probation but their weak punishment and their let them police themselves will lead to either a driver or spectators either seriously injured or dying. The NHL needs to ban hits to the head like the one Matt Cooke delivered last sunday and should ban fighting in order to capitalize off the momentum they built at the Olympics.
