Is This the Best Time of Year For Sports Fans?

I think so. Let's see:

- College Bowl games
- NFL Playoffs/Super Bowl
- College Basketball Conference play starts
- Near NBA All Star break

January is great for sports fans like myself. No other sport has parties just for the game. Who has World Series parties, or Stanley Cup parties (Canadiens don't count)? From the Super Bowl, you're only a few weeks away from March Madness. The last couple years the opening weekend of March Madness has been coinciding with St. Patrick's Day which makes for an especially ugly occasion. Once March Madness is over, the NBA playoffs are set to start. The first round of that is kinda lame, I admit, but the conference finals usually more than make up for it. Unfortunately, once the final second of the last NBA game ticks, we are subjected to nothing but baseball. Dear lord, I hate watching baseball. Then again, going to the game might make for some good blog fodder.
