It is finally here. After all the busted brackets, experts picking the wrong teams, underdogs capturing our hearts, big schools showing their dominance and one terrible injury, march madness is ready for the grand finale.

Michigan is back in the Final Four for the first time since the Fab 5 era and Syracuse is trying to win it’s first title since Carmelo Anthony. We wanna hear from you. Take the poll after the jump.

NFL: Man Up! Which Cowboys Pro Bowler Calls Out Tony Romo
Cowboys fan or not, everyone had an opinion a couple weeks ago when the Cowboys signed Tony Romo to a 6 year extension worth $108 million. Many of us all thought the same thing. How could a player who has never won anything get all that money. Only 1 playoff win since he has been there, and constantly disappointing seasons that ended without even making the playoffs. People have been wondering when would Romo get cut, but instead he got a huge deal. Well it seems it is not just fans who have an opinion. Romo’s pro bowl teammate and best defensive player DeMarcus Ware has something to say to Tony and he better listen. See what he said after the jump.
NFL:(Video) Ravens Player Says He Was Cut Because He Supports Gay Marriage?
Baltimore Ravens player Brendon Ayanbadejo made some noise this season when he came out very publicly in support of gay marriage. At first he was applauded for not biting his tongue and speaking his mind on a huge subject that has taken over this country the past few years. It seems his now former team might of wanted to distance themselves from such a topic. Ayandadejo, who played mostly special teams, but was a good contributor to the team was cut Thursday, and he feels it has a little more to do with just football decisions. “My bark is louder than my bite,” Ayanbadejo told Newsday. “I make a lot of noise and garner a lot of attention for various things off the football field. When that starts happening, why do you have that player around?” He said he understands the move from a football standpoint because he can be replaced with a cheaper, younger player. “But, I don’t necessarily think that teams want this type of attention,” he told Newsday. Now to be clear, he didn’t blame being cut entirely on his beliefs, but he does think it made it easier to cut him knowing that type of attention would no longer be on the Ravens. Especially after a Maryland lawmaker asked the Ravens to have players stop speaking about gay rights. There has been strong rumors recently that a current NFL player is considering coming out of the closet.I can only imagine the reaction that will get. Watch Ayanbadejo’s interview after…
NCAA(Video): Louisville Player Kevin Ware Does David Letterman Top 10 About His Leg (Funny)
I love this interview. Louisville player Kevin Ware who just last week broke his leg in one of the more gruesome sports injuries you will ever see seems to be taking it in stride. Last weekend seemed like everyone in America was crying right along with Ware and his teammates after seeing such a terrible thing happen to a good kid. The entire country has rallied around him and it really has done wonders for his spirits. So much so that he was actually on David Letterman last night and did the top 10 jokes about his own leg. I must say dude is pretty funny and the way he is handling all this makes you want to root for him to get better even more. Check out the interview after the jump.
