Can't disagree with Syracuse being #1

Syracuse has really been playing well as of late, and are well deserving of the #1 ranking. However, they beat an overrated Villanova team, but it was so convincing that it doesn't matter. As of now, they are playing like the best team in the NCAA. Purdue's injury to Robbie Hummel and Kansas's loss made Syracuse a pretty obvious choice. While I still like Kentucky, Duke, among others heading into the tournament, Syracuse is probably going to end up being in the Final Four, so if you want to win it all, you're gonna have to go through Syracuse.

Tiger Woods is at it again

Once again, Tiger Woods has shown that he is selfish and inconsiderate by having his press conference take place at 11:00 AM on Friday. Hello? There is a golf tournament going on then, the Accenture Match Play Chamionship. He is trying to upstage the tournament, the golfers, and the sponsors by having his press conference that will be filled with nothing but ambiguous information. He won't even be answering questions at the press conference, so what valuable information will he really be saying? And the golf media out in Arizona won't be interested in the tournament, they will only be interested in Tiger Woods. Sure, Woods is easily the most popular athlete in golf and one of the most popular golfers on the planet, but he is acting like he is above his peers by doing this. Every golfer works hard, takes extra practice, and competes week in and week out. Why should Tiger's attempt at damage control upstage the hard work that all the other PGA golfers are putting in to their sport. Tiger doesn't care about that; again acting like he is above his peers. I admire Ernie Els for coming out publicly criticizing Woods, and it is good to see that some other PGA golfers are standing up for themselves and the sport of golf.

Kentucky is the team to beat

March is fast approaching, and you know what that means. The NCAA tournament is soon approaching, and many teams are looking to make that push to the Final Four. No team is better suited to make that push than John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats. John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, and Eric Bledsoe have teamed up to create in my opinion the best team in college hoops. Wall is the most dynamic player in the game, a definite one and done as next year he looks forward to being possibly the top pick in the NBA Draft. It will be very similar to the Carmelo Anthony situation at Syracuse. Anthony was on another level than the rest of the players, and won the National Championship in his only year in college. Look for more of the same as John Wall adds to his legacy by winning the national title with the Kentucky Wildcats.

A Golden Era: Watch Out For Them

Well, while this blog primarily focuses on sports, sometimes there are things in other areas that get my attention. Most notably, music. Last Wednesday, I saw A Golden Era perform at Crocodile Rock in Allentown, and this is surely a band to keep track of in the near future. Their self released album, Life: As Played By People, is a catchy, infectious record that you just can't help but sing along to. A Golden Era is a top notch local band, and I highly recommend seeing them in concert when they play a show in your area. It was a great concert, and the venue definitely should have let them play a few more songs. Check out their album on iTunes, and make sure to check out the songs "Denver: The Sunshine State" and "The Cold War."
