Sports is no different than any other aspect of everyday life in that events unfold at an always increasing pace. As in any other aspect of everyday life, there are four very distinct and very different seasons a la Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
The new year begins with a bang as the NFL gets things going in January with the arrival of its playoff journey to crown the ultimate champion.
February continues on the natural leisurely path with the world's most watched television of the year at the beginning of the month. You may have heard of it. Advertisers call it the big game because that's what the league tells them to call it. They have to do this because whatever the shield wants the shield gets. If advertisers stray from this doctrine, you better believe they are going to be hearing from the almighty Commissioner Goodell and his cronies. We fans call it what it is...THE SUPER BOWL!
Once March rolls around, the sports dialogue gets ratcheted up EVEN MORE to an insanely high volume. As Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap put it so eloquently in perhaps the film's most memorable scene, the sports speakers are pushed to eleven as we reach the end of yearly cycle's first quarter pole.

This is where I am right now. I just need to remember to and remind myself from time to time to adjust adjust my internal head noise when needed. Right now the speakers are at eleven. Level five would certainly be nice. Not too loud and not too soft...JUUUUUUUUUST Right!
