March Madness

It’s time for March Madness.

No, not the NCAA Tourney. We’re talking Philly sports.

The Sixers.
A.I.
Eddie Jordan.
Donovan McNabb.

The Sixers continue to implode. Their coach, Jordan, is not helping. He ripped his team for quitting on him after Monday night’s game, then decided to plead temporary insanity the next day.

Speaking of insanity, all that fanfare in bringing back Allen Iverson is gone. Now there is only the stark reality of the shell of the player that Iverson has become. He will not return to the team this season. He likely has played his last game as a Sixer, and possibly his last in the NBA?

It’s a sad end to a bad story that only adds to the tarnish on a once-great franchise.

Don’t look for the Eagles to help. They’re still holding three quarterbacks, which is probably two more than they need. Talks continue to swirl around what they will do with Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick.

I will tell you what they can’t do. They can’t believe even for a minute that they can come back with Andy Reid at the helm and McNabb under center and sell that to their fans. Even die-hard Iggles fans will not swallow that tired, old act.

Hey, there’s always the Flyers. Didn’t exactly look like the Olympic layoff bothered them. They returned to the ice last night and torched Tampa in a 7-2 blowout.

And then there is this: Ladies and gentlemen, leading off for the Phillies, shortstop Jimmy Rollins.

Summer begins tonight. The Phils kick off the Grapefruit League season against Florida State. J.A. Happ will be on the mound.

Tomorrow Roy Halladay heads to the hill to face the Yankees.

Feels like October already.
