Oh, also the usual betting pool for March Madness at the office is still acceptable.
Poll data, so as usual, caveats may apply.

If you're mostly following me for the joyful nerdiness, expect a higher-than-usual density of #baseball posts. Go #Mariners!
Surprise! I know some things about #sportsball! I have opinions about the designated hitter rule! (And, yes, I love the baseball episode of #StarTrek #DeepSpace9.)
BREAKING NEWS: Shohei Ohtani is good at baseball. #sportsball

Spotted at the Stanley Park tennis court… #balls #sportsball #newEdinburgh #ottawa
I know that because SWMBO was a Soccer Mom (w/Eldest Spawn) and even with a league rule (27ya!) the boys would try heading balls in practice just for 'fun.' It all adds up, he said…
Anyway, the guy on the radio talking about the latest homicidal/suicidal football player being confirmed as having #CTE made me concerned about my 4yrs getting water polo balls in the head and landing dives badly, 40+ ya. Might be why I'm chronically grumpy…
I am not going to talk about the Phillies. Nothing but expletives right now.
