There’s nothing worse than baseball in March – SB Nation
Pitchers and Catchers Day is truly the dumbest day. This cannot be overstated. Like a good baseball sheep, I post something like, “PITCHERS AND CATCHERS ARE REPORTING” on Facebook, collect my millions of likes, and await the afterlife, where I’ll surely get a chance to use Facebook likes as currency in the snack bar. Until then, I’ll sit on social media like a fool, waiting for reporters to tweet pictures…
Get ready for some ‘Game of Thrones’ with your baseball – CNET
Major League Baseball and “Game of Thrones” will be working a cross-promotional project this summer when baseball’s in full swing and the HBO hit is supposed to return to TV (no date yet).

Why the real NASCAR season starts this weekend – FOXSports.com
Now the real Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season begins. Daytona Speedweeks was what it always is — two incredibly busy weekends of high-intensity, wide-open racing that resulted in a ton of wrecked race cars and dashed hopes, and an emotionally charged triumph for the winner, in this case, Kurt Busch. That said, Daytona is its own animal, with a totally different rules package than we will see this weekend…

British Cycling courier did not ask what was in Bradley Wiggins package – The Guardian
The former British Cycling employee who carried a mystery package to France at the end of the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné race did not ask what was in it as he trusted his employers and wanted to keep his job, he has told a committee of MPs.

Eavesdropping on NASCAR drivers during the Daytona 500 is outrageously entertaining – For The Win
If you think NASCAR drivers are racing around the track for hours alone with their thoughts, you’re sorely mistaken. Drivers are in constant communication with their crew chiefs, spotters and pit crews, coordinating every detail of the race – who’s coming up behind them, when a crash is about to take place, whether the car needs new tires or just fuel on a pit stop. Of course, there’s a little…
How much pee is in our swimming pools? New urine test reveals the truth – The Guardian

Colin Cowherd ranks the 10 best destinations for Tony Romo – FOXSports.com
“Stay with Dallas, go to the Calgary Stampeders would be No. 9, or work for FOX Sports. The top 10 gets pretty lean. “… He was in the NFC for all these years, so he would be a very good broadcaster.
