Happy Greatest-Sporting-Month-of-the-Year Eve

Tomorrow, March 10th, kicks off the Greatest-Sporting Month of the Year, so let me be the first to wish you a happy Greatest-Sporting-Month-of-the-Year Eve. The offical start to GSMY varies from year to year, but it always begins right around when the college basketball conference tournaments start and lasts approximately 31 days. This year, BSMY starts March 10th and ends on April 12th. Let's review why these next 31 days are so great. If you're not totally pumped up by the end of this review, then I just don't know what to tell you.
First, we kick things off tomorrow with a ridiculous schedule. Stage 3 of Paris-Nice, World Baseball Classic games, college conference tourneys (including the Big East), and Champions League football. I mean, that's just a ridiculously good line up. Through out the rest of the month we continue to have great cycling with the spring classics (GSYM ends on April 12th with the Paris-Roubaix), extremely important English football matches, the World Baseball Classic followed by opening day of the MLB season, and of course, March Madness. People even tell me that the NBA and NHL will be holding games during this same time period. Amazing. March Madness could carry the month by itself, so to have all of this other stuff just puts things over the top. What other time of the year can match it? I challenge anyone to find me a better 31 days.
