Hour 1:
– “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.” Yes, I put Steve Jobs and Chip Kelly in the same sentence.
– March Madness, some thoughts on Tom Crean’s job security and Villanova as the No. 2 overall seed
– Interview with Dan Wolken of USA Today, who said about the Georgia Tech potential opening, “Getting guys in is not a problem. Keeping them eligible is. There’s no fake classes at Georgia Tech. You can’t hide them in easy majors.”
– I gave out my pre-bracket sleepers, three of whom are double digits, one is a 5th seed.

– The Colts are now the favorites – 5-1 – in Vegas to win the Super Bowl.
– Interview with Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports, who said about the Texas Longhorns chances in the tourney: “The coaching would nullify them for me. I can’t pick them to beat anybody. I think they need to look for a different coach.”
– Why I’d never go to the arena on the 1st or 2nd weekend to see an NCAA Tourney game, and I’d rather watch them from home.
Hour 3:

Poor Titans.
– Weird new
