Jimmy Page’s chugging guitar riff is the perfect start to Led Zeppelin’s sophomore outing, which finds the band at its most freewheeling.

Nantz’s calm demeanor may be out of place at the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, but it’s perfect for the Masters, which takes place at Augusta National this weekend.

There are 16 games apiece throughout Thursday and Friday, which tend to be my least productive days of the year. Although the tournament is decided in April, it’s called March Madness for a reason. The round of 64, full of chaos and drama, is the best part of the tournament.

Ireland is often referred to as the “Emerald Isle,” a nickname inspired by the natural abundant greenery found there.

Saturday was Groundhog Day, but unless you’re 9 years old — or, apparently, a TV news producer — you probably don’t care. Groundhog Day is D-list, the holiday equivalent of Frank Stallone or one of the lesser Baldwin brothers, with none of the cachet of Christmas, the pageantry of Halloween or even the commercial activity of Mother’s Day.

BATMAN Inspired by the recent discovery that I can buy and read comics with an app on my phone, I give a list of the best comic-book superheroes — in my opinion. I start with Batman, a total badass.
