What 'Cher Point

Well, gentle readers, I am still in the middle of March Madness and can make a prediction about a final winner although I have never gotten those predictions right yet. I kicked myself because I dropped Oregon out of the Sweet Sixteen and then I began to think that this could be their year. But my final four is Kentucky, Kansas, Gonzaga and Villanova with Gonzaga winning it all. Will that happen? You know how I love the Zags and so hope springs eternal!

I have been reading that the NFL is going to be different next year. It seems that their ratings were really off this last season so there are some changes in the wind. One that really delights me is that there are not going to be as many commercials. For instance having two commercial breaks at a kickoff is going to be changed to one. All the changes being proposed might shorten the game by around five minutes but the purpose is not that but to eliminate some of the down time where absolutely nothing is happening. That sounds good to me although I must say that I have never thought that football is too long and boring. I do think that baseball could take some shortening but not football. But if some commercials are eliminated, that will just make the game better!

There is another owner proposal to cut the regular season overtime from fifteen minutes to ten minutes. There was a proposal to give each time the ball in over time rather than go by the sudden death rule that changed the outcome of this last Super Bowl. However, that change will probably not occur as owners and coaches as well as players seemed to like the sudden death ending of a game. I know I do.

Tom Brady made the headlines this week once again. It seems that at this last Super Bowl, someone stole his jersey after the game and maybe more than one jersey. Well, the culprits were caught. They were some of the International Media from Mexico. The jersey was worth around fifty thousand dollars if you can believe that.

To add even more mystery to this story, police also found another Brady jersey that had disappeared. This one was from the 2015 Super Bowl win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Good luck on your March Madness picks.

That is my story and I am sticking to it. Go Thunderbirds!
