I Owe April an Apology… It Might Be the Best Month in Sports

I’ve been completely wrong about April. For years, I treated it like a filler month in sports while I waited for the NFL—but this year changed everything. Starting with March Madness, then you get The Masters Tournament, the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the WNBA Draft, MLB settling in, the NBA playoffs. Then to top it all off, the NFL Draft closing it all out. So yeah… I owe April an apology. https://www.tiktok.com/@nameoneplayer [https://www.tiktok.com/@nameoneplayer] https://www.youtube.com/@nameoneplayer [https://www.youtube.com/@nameoneplayer] https://www.instagram.com/ [https://www.instagram.com/nameoneplayer]nameoneplayer https://www.threads.com/@nameoneplayer [https://www.threads.com/@nameoneplayer] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
