Happy Monday
The 2017 Men’s Final Four left college basketball fans wanting more.
Especially fans cheering for Gonzaga and North Carolina.
The 2016/2017 National Championship will be a great battle between the one-seed Gonzaga Bulldogs and the one-seed North Carolina Tar Heels. Admittedly, readers of this blog post should know I am a big UNC fan. My oldest sister attended and graduated from Chapel Hill back in the days of Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty. So, it’s been nearly 20 years of cheering for the Tar Heels.
With that being said (or written), tonight’s game will be a fantastic sporting event. Yes, an event. Gonzaga wants to win its school’s first ever national championship, whereas North Carolina feels like it has to win this year’s national championship. And that may be what separates these two top-shelf teams in the end:
The difference between want to and have to with the title on the line.
It’s my belief that Joel Berry II was (purposely) on cruise control against Oregon, nursing his injured ankles/recovering from his ankle injuries. The shots that went in or didn’t weren’t of issue to Roy Williams. Clearly. The point is that Berry’s mere presence on the court for UNC is game-changing for the men sporting sky blue.
However, against a very talented Gonzaga squad, Mr. Berry’s mere presence won’t likely be enough to cut the nets down in jubilation.
He’ll need help from his very talented teammates (and coaching staff).
This season’s national championship will be one heel hell of a game.
I just hope two of those heels on the court tonight in Phoenix will have enough spring for that one shining moment.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.

The team behind Justice League is looking to do its forthcoming film, well, justice with a brand new trailer.
Continuing with the Comic Con schedule of another Saturday trailer release (even though Comic Con isn’t for a few months), Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics debuted the new Justice League trailer online and throughout its social media channels this past weekend for anxious fans and curious moviegoers. The tone and special effects appear quite similar to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Understandable. Continuity is, after all, a top priority when weaving together many superheroes, each with their own individual film(s) during a decade-long (maybe more?) time frame.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the aforementioned trailer for Justice League.
This movie (Justice League) could very well propel or sink the current DC superhero cinematic universe collectively and, therefore, individually as well.
No pressure.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.

Everybody (except Duke, Villanova, etc.) wants a tournament just like this.
The 2017 version of March Madness is in full-swing and this tournament’s reputation for unbridled craziness lives on for yet another season. Upsets of top programs aren’t necessarily that upsetting (as long as it’s not your team) and that feeling has become a trademark of college basketball’s post-season finale played on courts across the country.
On an unrelated, yet related note, The Chainsmokers and Chris Martin of Coldplay recently collaborated to create a great pop song titled, “Something Just Like This.” Thankfully, someone at the NCAA recognized the perfect compatibility of the aforementioned song and the pursuit of something grand in life…
like an NCAA national championship.
There’s some awesomeness for your Monday.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
