Dear outside, see you tomorrow!

OK, we all have a day where we simply want to stay inside, watch some teevee and recharge our batteries. If you're Johnny that day is TODAY. The Red Wings are on as the national game again this week at noon. Then Johnny's MSU Spartans will be in tough against Virginia who they beat in the NCAA tourney last season over at MSG. If that's not enough there's a Game of Thrones marathon on HBO2 (Season 1). THEN it's the matchup half the globe will watch as FC Barcelona (Yea!) plays Real Madrid (Boo Hiss!) at 3pm.

So sorry windy, cold, bright Sunday. Other than a couple dog walks, Johnny's going to miss you.

So, any last minute tips you tournament soothsayers can give us common folk?

Get ready 'Murica, here it comes in all its advertising glory, the Greatest Four Days of Sports in Forever. Did you know more menfolk got vasectomies yesterday than any other day of the year? It's true. The recipe for recovery is two days on the couch and WAIT A MINUTE if those two days coincided with the NCAA Tourney then there would be four days to do nothing but watch and buy Chevys.

Good luck to all your teams whomever they may be (except as always Duke) and fairplay to all (except Kansas). Johnny's MSU Spartans have the honor of tipping off the whole mess in less than an hour. In Izzo we trust.

Hockey analyst Mickey Redmond might have the best saying about something like this he uses for NHL playoff overtimes: "This is no place for a nervous person."

So, who ya got?
