We’ve left Mt. Everest - we’re going to leave summiting that monster up to the Chinese as they prepare for the games. Plus, we need more oxygen. It’s onto the opening of baseball, the grand finale of the NBA and NHL seasons and the all-important, work-product-sucking NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Metaphors, Mischief, and March Madness with The Girls!

Episode 112

In today’s Fantoo Girls Sports Podcast, The Girls are coming to you live from the 2008 Metaphor of the Year Awards (For the name to sound as cool to you as it does to us you must mimic the chick who announces the NASCAR awards banquet, if you’ve seen it - if not, take a listen here) where Brian McNamee takes top honors. He wasn’t able to accept in person due to injuries sustained while crashing head first into a bus after passing out at the wheel. The Girls accept in his honor, and we even got all dressed up and administered each other shots of HGH for the occasion. Or was it B-12? So hard to remember which is which.

March Madness has us caught up in its spell, as usual. All responsibilities are tossed out with the pizza boxes and beer bottles (BTW, has anyone seen our kids?). Davidson emerges as a fan favorite after delivering the most entertaining performance in their UPSET of Georgetown. Steph Curry could probably sink a basket while texting. On his back.

And what’s with all the girls names? Steph, Brooke, Robin…what ever happened to good old Gunther? No matter…the Sweet 16 kicks off today and the madness begins all over again. May your cable not go out.

While it is the off-season, the NFL still delivers the goods. PacIdiot Jones wants to be a Cowboy, the number 1 pick in the draft may be treated like the last kid picked for dodge ball, and George Clooney takes us back to the 20’s to lawless football in Leatherheads.

Casting Call! Director Gary Ross is looking for a rookie sensation and the veteran he idolizes for a NASCAR-themed movie. We have our suggestions…

So Japan gets the opening day game for MLB and fans get to wake at 6:00 AM for a tailgate. YAY!! Sounds like good fun to us! Jose Canseco connects A-Rod to the steroid scandal. Apparently A-Rod once lived in a town where a guy knew someone who once studied how to make basement HGH. We give up - we buy it all. Lock, stock and syringe.

Prince Fielder is a vegatarian. Yes, THIS Prince Fielder. All animal-free products, run and hide.

Can somebody please call Gwen at Power Yoga For Sports? If the MLB doesn’t have her on call 24/7 we may never see a complete season. Players are already dropping like fly balls at Coors Field. Stiff necks, sore arms, big guts. Guys, you’re athletes. Get it together.

For once March Madness won’t steal the spotlight from the NBA. The Mavericks are Mavericking before the playoffs even begin, Tim Donaughy is STILL not in jail, the West is open season, and the Sixers are looking for that glass slipper. It’s just beautiful to be a sports fan these days. The only thing that would make it perfect is to see Tim Donaughy go to jail.

And an ovation for the Big O - Alexander Ovechkin as he breaks the 60 goal mark. That is truly amazing and it is only the beginning for this “freak” as Mark Recchi calls him.

In this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID we salute those that follow through on the dying wishes of their eccentric friends and relatives. So grab your singles, your tattered bracket and a second TV - it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
