When you think March Madness versus the Superbowl or the World Series the NCAA Championship basketball seems to stand out above the rest. But why do fans bet on March madness over the others? It’s one of the most unpredictable sporting events that is ever changing throughout the competition. Many believe that the Madness of the game is the box office draw, because college teams battle it out to attain the victor over a series of games. Not only is it an unpredictable sporting event it is also has no continuity from year to year.
The faces change every year as many players move up to the NBA while it’s the end of the road for others. However, the ever changing teams are like pieces of a huge puzzle that one feels connected to though Alumni status or hometown college team. When you think of March Madness your body gets that itch, that intrigue and that undeniable urge that you have to watch, even though the game seems unfair.
In addition, March madness has so many great aspects surrounding it that one cannot turn away. The crazy month long battle is like an addiction for most men and women who love basketball in general. The games are intense, fast paced and some of the best basketball games to watch live or on your TV. Moreover, one can admit that adding a wager on the game or joining a Madness pool is probably one of the most gratifying feelings especially if your predictions are accurate and you walk away the winner.
In closing and after all the criticism of the tournament one may say that it is unfair and a terrible way to crown a champion, but that is what makes March Madness so awesome!

Peeping today’s NY Times as we just celebrated Dr King’s holiday and noted the following story..
This weekend we’ll be celebrating Dr Martin Luther King‘s birthday and in doing so we should all be mindful of the power of his words. We should be mindful of King’s words as we continue to dialogue about what sort of responsibility those who speak to the public have especially via broadcast medium especially with respect to Black Radio..We thought we’d take a walk down memory lane and listen to what King had to say about the role BLACK RADIO played in furthering the Civil Rights struggle..It was a speech given in August of 1967 in Atlanta, Ga to NATRA (National Association of TV and Radio Announcers )
He also talks about how some of them were vilified for ‘creating a climate’ that led to the unrest in American cities. Most notable was the radio announcer named Magnificent Montague who had coined the phrase Burn Baby Burn to describe a hot record, but was later used a rallying cry for the 
We also have excerpts from Minister Farrakhan talking about BLACK RADIO in his historic 1980 speech given to radio deejays at the Jack the Rapper Convention in Atlanta. He talked about how Black Radio deejays are used as agents to dumb down our thinking. What’s interesting to note is that Farrakhan’s speech came 13 years to the month after King gave his NATRA speech. The time between King’s speech and Farrakhan’s speech we saw so much of Black radio dismantled and so many of the disc jockeys silences and depoliticized. Farrakhan talks about how station owners went out of their way to hire deejays who would talk jive to the people and do very little to uplift them. It’s a trend that many say still exist today.
It’s annoying as hell when media pundits call programs we pay into Entitlement Programs implying that folks receiving benefits are somehow undeserving or seeking handouts… Such terminology is the first step in convincing folks to go against their interests and give up money & benefits they worked for…
