Heat Ratio: Is Gabe Kapler too much too soon?

With all the noise surrounding the Eagles and their Super Bowl run people forgot to go deep inside the mind of Gabe Kapler. The Kapler experiment has begun in Philadelphia and Phillies fans don’t like what they see. From using a multitude of relievers to a revolving lineup, his decisions are thought to be suspect. Is he just following the trend of MLB or trying to create his own trend too soon? Don’t we have to give him a chance?

Villanova wins its 2nd NCAA Title in 3 years leaving Jay Wright as the only other active Coach besides Roy Williams and Coach K to pull off such a feat. Even though the Nova program does not get all the “1 and done” recruits, can they still be considered a PREMIER NCAA program?

The Sixers are in unfamiliar territory and now the injury bug has decided to kick in just weeks before the playoffs. Fultz looks to be gaining more confidence and Simmons is showing why he is a gem.

Tiger Woods is ready to put his newfound stroke up to the challenge of Augusta. He, along with plenty of elder statesman, including Phil Mickelson, will be vying for that Green Jacket. The last time Tiger won was 2005, but he has shown a focus and a determination we haven’t seen in years. Even though his peers think it’s ridiculous that he is favored to win, could he pull of the unthinkable? Are you rooting for a Tiger/Phil showdown?
