Channel Flip Season

Lots of talk lately about March being "the best time of the year" if you're a sports fan. The NCAA Tournament at the forefront of the notion, obviously, but Spring Training and the idea that baseball is right around the corner helping, too.

I won't disagree that the NCAA Tournament might be the single-greatest sporting event on the planet, but pound for pound I'll take April over March, and it has nothing to do with college hoops (despite the Final Four generally occurring in the month): Channel Flip Season, or flipping between baseball and hockey.

REAL baseball games, that is, combined with hockey season winding down towards the playoffs. Not to mention it's a sure sign summer's right around the corner, but the fact that both the Bruins and Red Sox are on tonight, and they'll be overlapping quite frequently for at least the next month...what's better than that? This year especially it's gonna be unreal, with the Bruins vying for the President's Trophy and the Sox defending their World Series title. Working the NESN/NESN Plus/NBC Sports Network rotation is always one of my favorite times of year, and it starts tonight.
