It's called the Tough Guy Tournament, not for its duration, but for its "iffy" time of year weather-wise. It still could feel more like winter than spring. The winds could be wicked. There might even still be ice on the water, enough so that the tournament could be delayed, as it was in 2023.

The NFL Draft has come and gone once again. I normally watch the first two nights, but this year I was playing sports..so...priorities. I have to admit, I threw a tiny temper tantrum when I saw the results of the first round. As both a Packers and a Michigan fan, it hurt to see J.J. McCarthy go to the Vikings. Not that I wanted the Packers to draft a quarterback, I just do not want to cheer against McCarthy. He's a good kid. Plus, is it not enough that the Vikings took Aaron Jones? I mean, come on.
