Hope Springs Eternal

I love my sports and my sports teams. For me and my teams, this is a great time of year. As a fan of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team, they are looking strong heading into March Madness and will be a high seed with a great chance to win it all. Some of the thrill is gone after Roy Williams left and went to North Carolina--I haven't gotten so enthralled with Bill Self as the coach. Still, it is a great time to be a KU fan. Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk!!!

NFL free agency started late this week and the Broncos have some needs to fill. So far they haven't shown much to make me excited, but there are still a lot of players out there looking for teams. In free agency, every team has a chance to improve and I "know" my Broncos will take care of business before all is said and done.

Finally, spring training has begun. My Kansas City Royals last won a World Series in 1985 when I was 20 years old. Since then, they have not made the playoffs and in the last ten years have only had about one winning season. But they are loaded with young talent and have a new manager and a general manager who seems to have a clue, so.....THIS COULD BE THE YEAR!!!!

Like the title says, "Hope springs eternal."
