Real Madrid: A Royal Heritage
Ladies and gentlemen, gather around and let me tell you a tale of one of the greatest football dynasties the world has ever seen: Real Madrid from the years 2014-2018. It was a time of perplexity and burstiness, where the Spanish giants were able to rise above the competition and achieve unprecedented success on the grandest stage of all: the UEFA Champions League.

Long shatters Ole Miss' 100 meters record On March 31, McKenzie Long of Ole Miss ran a smoking hot time of 10.80 with the help of a 3.5 tailwind during the preliminary round of the 100 meters at the Texas Relays. Long, a transfer from North Carolina State, followed that performance with a still very impressive time of 11 seconds flat to win the final round. Prior to Long's performance no Ole Miss sprinter had ever ran under 11.19 seconds as Brandee Presley set the school record at that time in 2019.

Oilers Clinch, but What Happens if They Fall Short Again?
The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to lock in a playoff spot on the last day of March; despite not playing that evening, a Winnipeg Jets loss would have put the Oilers in the playoffs. However, the Jets (who are struggling to stay alive) had other plans. Even after the Nashville Predators won in blowout fashion on the following day, all Edmonton needed to clinch was one solitary point. That's it. The Oilers decided to go for the throat against the lowly, lowly Anaheim Ducks; blasting them 6-0 to become the second team to qualify for the playoffs, as well as the eighth team overall--halfway filling the playoff field for 2023.

Lightning Look to Bounce Back from Thwarted Three-Peat
The Tampa Bay Lightning's recent run has been amazing and fun to watch, at least in the perspective of this hockey fan. We all know the story; after their 62-win season ended with them getting surprisingly mollywhopped by the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Bolts bounced back in a big way. What did they do? Nothing much. Only won the Stanley Cup, that's all. They liked that feeling so much that they decided, "What the hell, let's do that again." This past season saw the Lightning with a great chance to do what hadn't been done in four decades: win three straight Cups. They managed to return to the Cup Final for the third straight year; the first team to achieve this feat since the Edmonton Oilers did so from 1983-85.

Roughriders on a Plane
Two of the earliest sports heroes in my life, were members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders - a team in the Canadian Football League since 1910. The first, George Reed, was a young American fullback with the Washington State Cougars, who, in 1963, came north to play professional football in Canada. As luck would have it, Ron Lancaster (a second hero of mine), made the move from the Ottawa Roughriders to Saskatchewan at roughly the same time. The rest was history. The Roughriders had a lot of successful seasons starting that year and on into the next decade. Reed and Lancaster were two of the main reasons why the team enjoyed such success and why they won the Grey Cup in 1966. Every kid in Saskatchewan wanted to be either #23 (Ron Lancaster) or #34 (George Reed). They were both so much bigger than our own tiny little lives at the time.
