Rachel and I have heard about this phenomena at Citizens Bank Ballpark (home of the Phillies) called 'Dollar Dog Night'. Yes, this entails $1 hot dogs at the ballpark. Does it get any better than that? Maybe only if it was at Wrigley Field. Fat chance on that one though. Nonetheless, tonight we will be experiencing for the first time this dollar dog as the Phils play host to the Padres. This will also be Rachel's first time experiencing the Philly Phanatic (best mascot in sports?!?)
Should be a dollar dog gone good time! (bad I know)

Declaring eligibility
I read this article by Gene Wojciechowski on ESPN. He definitely sums up, a lot better than me I might add, how I feel on the issue of the age requirement for the NBA. In many many ways I think that the NBA should go back to allowing high school players to make the jump to the NBA. This spending one year in college rule is silly. In my opinion, it is hurting the college basketball game. Sure it helps the colleges/universities that reap the benefits i.e. $$$$$$ but it hurts the basketball programs for any potential to build a basketball program. I would much rather see players stay for their junior and senior seasons and build a college program than spend one year and hope that it ends up in a magical run to the Championship. Then again, I am old school and absolutely love college basketball way more than the NBA game. And I've also never been lured by the $$$$ in the NBA.

Hansbrough and Love
As I was looking through ESPN's website finding stories about the Final Four, I came across this article in Page 2 by LZ Granderson. I really appreciated his take on the issue and confess that I have been caught saying that I don't think T Hansbrough will be a good NBA player, mainly because he is white and doesn't have the atleticism that a lot of other players have. Check out the article and let me know what you think.
