What say you?

When the Orioles are in the playoffs, October by a mile.

 

But March is as good a month as any, sports-wise.

[You Play to Win the Game]

It used to be this time of year. But honestly, I have no faith in Turgeon for a deep run. And the Orioles have been so damn bad that I just can't get excited for baseball. I Bought OD tickets and am not even pumped. It sucks.

[Pedro Cerrano]

March is the best month of the year, and sports are a huge reason for that. 

[SportsGuy]

It’s March/April.

I kind of combine the months as saying this is the best time of year for Sports. So much going on.

[The Epic]

It's March. Even when the Ravens are great. Even when the Orioles are great. It's March.

Listen to the poscast from Monday. They really let march have it

I listened. Two clueless clowns

[BobPhelan]

Yeah I was confused why they went after March when February just ended. Bad takes.

[mweb08]

March is eh to me, but I don't not a fan of the NCAA as a whole, nor do I care much about college basketball anymore.

I probably like June the best, mostly for NBA reasons, but it's also a solid time for baseball as well as tennis, and there's the Stanley Cup.

January is great for the NFL plus there's NBA action, etc.

[SBTarheel]

May:

MLB, Kentucky Derby, NBA Playoffs, and finally nice weather. 

[Mike in STL]

Given the list above, July/August is easily the worst.

MLB ASG, fine. 

Open Championship isn't our major

NBA Summer league????? Please

Wimbledon...Not for me.

Orioles are done playing meaningful games.

 

By August, at least you can see football on the horizon and fantasy football prep begins. 

 

March and April are my favorite. NFL Draft prep. Fantasy baseball prep. Bracketology. Conference and NCAATs. Opening Day. The Players, The Masters. Usually dusting off the golf clubs myself and hitting the driving range a few times, getting a round or two in if possible.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Yea if you aren’t into college hoops I can totally see disliking March.

However it looks like Opening Day in March is here to stay so that adds points.

Also LOVE my annual trip to NYC for my fantasy baseball draft.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Worst month for sports and worst month period is July. It’s the month with the only day that doesn’t have mlb nhl nba nfl ncaab or ncaaf. Also has horrendous humidity and the Fourth of July. Where you get to sit outside in 95 degree heat and get bit by mosquitos

Love the weather..NBA free agency is always fun. NFL training camps start.

July could be better for sure but it has its pluses.

I would say February is my least favorite. College basketball is good but you have the NBA AS break taking up about a week. No real NFL news..ST starts but it’s the time where it’s boring.

Super Bowl is in February

[Mike in STL]

Super Bowl is in February

Yeah but all the build up is in January. Game this year was on the 2nd. And when it’s the Patriots which has been the norm....I’m pretty meh about the game.

It’s more of a response to me saying no real NFL news.

He’s right and I didn’t think of it at the time.

But yea, the game itself doesn’t matter that much to me unless the Ravens are in it.

[DuffMan]

Might not be a big deal to many ( I certainly enjoy it) but another plus for March is the start of the F-1 Season

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I think I would put April first. In addition to the events on tv, its the month when I can start participating in activities outside.
