Why April Is The Best Sports Month Of The Year

Recently, debate has cropped up as to the best sports month of the year. Very simply, April is the best. I can list tons of reasons why this is so. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at why.

Reason 1: MLB Opening Day - It's around this time that people start forgetting what baseball looks like. Not entirely of course, just saying that after seeing months of gridiron, rinks, and courts, there's nothing like a baseball diamond. Couple everyone believing that their fantasy team has what it takes, and you get a lot of excited people looking forward to baseball.

Reason 2: NFL Draft - Kenny Britt is one of the many reasons why I am so excited for the upcoming NFL Draft. Sure I may be biased as a Scarlet Knight myself, but the draft is one of the most fun times a fan can have. I still remember the total elation as my friends and I screamed in laughter when the Dolphins passed over Brady Quinn for Ted Ginn Jr. And you can't pass over the unintentional comedy of showing highlights of an offensive lineman blocking for a quarterback or a running back.

Reason 3: The Masters - I don't even like golf, but you can bet I'm watching this event. For four days, I become a golf connoisseur, getting to know Lefty, Veejay, Fuzzy and Tiger. I get a Pavlov like response when hearing the Master's music and Jim Nantz, so bring on the green jacket.

Reason 4: NCAA Finals - Sure the bracket is probably trashed by this point, but for those few who still have the champs set in the Final Four, you are glued to the television. And even for a guy like me who had Louisville winning it all, the NCAA's are still fun to watch.

Reason 5: Wrestlemania - Hells yes. I'm a wrestling fanatic, and this is the Super Bowl, Home Run Derby, and Nathan's Hot Dog Contest rolled into one. Ladder matches, random celeb appearances, fans booing the crap out of John Cena, all good times.

So yea, April is hands down the best sports month. Comment away if you feel differently. Thanks for reading!
