Well for me what started off as being one of the crappiest sports years in recent memory is quickly changing for the better. Let's see first the Carolina Panthers were destroyed in the NFC Championship Game (
), then Duke underachieved in the tournament and lost in the Sweet 16 again, the Charlotte Bobcats had a million injuries and even though they won 8 more games than the season before the season was still sad because of all the injuries. After that I got to watch my highschool basketball team miss out on winning back to back state championships after losing by two points in hell of a defensive game 45-43 (we should of had FT's at the end by the way, the refs were garbage). To top all of that off Steaua was eliminated in absolutely dramatic fashion from the UEFA Cup after it seemed like they would easily get to the final.
Like I said, it was crap.
Lately though, it's starting to get a little better...
The Carolina Hurricanes managed to advance all the way to the Stanley Cup Final and they are up 2-0 in a best of 7. Steaua won their 23rd championship today and the WC is coming up, who knows what the US might do.
Perfect example of how a really s*itty sports year can turn good.

) in Europe in the Round of 16. UCLA emerged out of the NCAA tournament with some brilliant comebacks before getting shelled by Florida in the final. Blue Jays made some great off-season signings during the media cloud that was Canada's Olympic hockey mess...they're off to a solid start but their main signing A.J. Burnett has missed most of the season(to date) with an injury....prediction is that the club can challenge the Yankees and Red Sox and the other powers of the American League...summer awaits.
