Say hello to America's Pastime 2014

Just two days remain until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, and let me tell you, it really couldn't come any sooner. For the San Francisco Giants, the season started at FanFest. I personally got there around 2:30 and was lucky enough to meet some great new people and take some interviews and just share the experience of being a die hard Giants fan. February 1st was the first day that AT&T park brought out over 60,000 die hard fans and it was only the first of many times this year the stadium will be packed. As players wrap up their last few days in their offseason so do the fans. Many fans are ready to travel down to Scottsdale, Arizona with the team to experience the 1.5 month phenomenon which is spring training. The season officially begins on March 31st, but until then rookies and veterans alike will fight it out for their spot on a big league roster. Folks, be on the lookout because this season will be full of surprises from all corners of the league and it is an even year after all, so Giants fans: TOGETHER AGAIN!!!

NFL Chapter 48

A little more than 2 days removed from the blowout America witnessed in the 48th annual Super Bowl, many people have started to look forward to next season, except the Seahawks. The champions will host their championship parade tomorrow, Wednesday afternoon. The Seahawks finally landed back in their hometown after a prolonged championship stay in New York. The 'Hawks victory parade sold in out in minutes and extra viewing space for the parade and on field proceedings was immediately made available next door at the Mariners home in Safeco Field. All in all, the Super Bowl, a second Thanksgiving in terms of food consumption, was a disappointment for almost all Americans from the get go. Those who hoped for a good game left their TV just for the ads. Many others had high hopes of a historic Denver comeback, but these hopes died at the start of the third quarter. Many could argue that it was a one game thing for Peyton Manning and that the Broncos are really the better team, but truth of the matter is that Seattle won the Super bowl. Others knew that the NFC championship was the real Super Bowl, saying that whoever won the NFC would win the Super Bowl. Even though this did turn out to be true and also true that the NFC Championship game was more interesting, it is wrong to count the AFC out of any talks for the title. On that note, even though I am a dire opponent of anything Seahawks, congratulations to the city of Seattle, the 12th man, and the Seahawks organization for a well earned first Lombardi trophy!
