There is No "Off-Season"
These days the supposed "off-season" is just as intriguing as the regular season. In any sport.
The Baseball's Winter Meetings just started and it seems like there's a deal going down every couple hours.
I had a friend call me from there and it sounded like he was in Times Square on New Year's Eve. Without Dick Clark of course. He also said besides a lot of front office personnel and players there are a lot of women there. If you get a chance to see HBO's Real Sports this month you will know what I'm talking about.
I love it when July 1st rolls around for the NBA. It's the first day teams can sign free agents, and it's always a frolicking good time.
The NFL is fun because with its hard salary cap even good players are shown the door.
That's what makes sports so interesting. There's never a dull moment... all year round.
