Barack the Bracket
I have to admit that it is pretty cool to have a President that enjoys doing the kinds of things that everyone else does. Andy Katz from ESPN interviewed him this week and his entire bracket will be revealed Wednesday on Sportscenter. His Final Four has 3 number one seeds(Louisville, North Carolina and Pitt) and Memphis. I am still working through my bracket and will post some of my picks on here.

Tracy Morgan back on SNL
This was one of those great skits where the whole cast was trying not to break character and laugh. Double Big Mac tries to talk some sense into these troubled youths by warning them of how things go down in jail.

Rest in Peace Bat Man
Don't know if anyone else heard about this but last year an independent minor league baseball team traded one of its players to another team for 10 wooden baseball bats. Teams often trade players for cash but for some reason this was seen as different and made rounds on national sports news. After the trade opposing fans ridiculed him with various nicknames. If you have ever been to an independent minor league game more than half the fans are just there to drink and mock the opposing team.
Well the story took a tragic twist in November, less than 6 months after the trade, when John C. Odom was found dead in Georgia from an accidental overdose from heroin, methamphetamine, the stimulant benzylpiperazine and alcohol. Teammates and coaches have since come out and say that he took the trade pretty hard. Life as a minor league player has to be hard with all the long bus trips and dirty hotels. To have your coaches and general manager say you were worth 10 planks of wood had to be devastating. Really a sad ending from a strange and seemingly innocent story.

Fiction Family
Picked up a new album today on iTunes from Fiction Family, a supergroup made up of Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman and Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins. I have been a fan of Switchfoot from before they made it big. Starting back with their early albums, Legend of Chin and New Way to Be Human, they have always had a cool mix of rock songs and acoustic little ballads. This album is a sweet mix of the things that I loved about Nickle Creek combined with Foreman's sweet vocals on Switchfoot's slower songs.
Here is a funky little video from their first single
