March Madness, World Baseball Classic earn strong viewership: Sports on TV
Bruce Springsteen, the patron saint of sportswriters , for his debut album in 1973 penned a lyrically bewildering song called Blinded By the Light — later a much bigger hit for British prog rock band Manfred Manns Earth Band. One of Springsteens lyrics reads: With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground. And that, college basketball fans, is an apt description of tens of millions of March Madness brackets loudly imploding into worthlessness as the upsets mount and the powerhouses in both the mens and womens tournaments find themselves turned back into midnight pumpkins.
