Headline: March Madness means bonding time for Barry Dadon and son

I don’t know about you, but I love March Madness. It’s one of the greatest sporting events of all time. College basketball is must-see TV at this point in the season. Sometimes it puts the Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals to shame. You just never know what’s going to happen next.

This year, however, the tournament is greater than ever. Not only are there upsets and head-spinning moments of unpredictability, but I get to watch the 2016 NCAA Tournament with my newborn son, Hudson.

Hudson is my first child, and I, Barry Dadon, love him to death. And I think he’s already becoming a huge March Madness fan. At least it seems that way based on the way he laughs and smiles while we watch the games together on our big screen TV at home.

Hudson’s only 5 months old, but he’s already got his eyes glued to the TV when watching hoops. At the rate he’s growing, he could be dunking by the age of 10.

I’m not sure how he did it, but Hudson picked No. 10 Syracuse in his bracket to win it all. That’s pretty impressive, considering the Orange have shocked the world, making it all the way to the Final Four. It’s crazy to think that Hudson is one of only a handful of people in the universe that had Syracuse going this far.

I must admit: The little kid is a pretty smart fellow. His picks, in fact, are much better than mine. Perhaps it’s beginners luck, but his bracket is way more in tact than dads.

Maybe next year I’ll check with my son before filling out my own bracket. Win or lose, watching the NCAA Tournament together is certain to be a tradition of ours for years to come.

Barry Dadon didn’t see that coming on “The Walking Dead”

Talk about a curveball. Sunday’s penultimate episode of Season 5 on AMC’s “The Walking Dead” titled “Try” certainly caught me by surprise. After the slow build up in Alexandria the last few episodes, it seemed like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group were destined to clash with the people of Alexandria.

But after Rick got in a fight with Alexandria member Pete in the final scene of the episode, it was shockingly Michonne who broke up the scrum by knocking Rick out cold.

Michonne, who has never once shown even the possibility of betraying Rick, seems to have put her in a situation that fans of the show either like or dislike.

On one side of the coin, Michonne stepped up and handled the situation, halting Rick from killing Pete. On the flip side, as I, Barry Dadon, see it, Michonne betrayed Rick. Rick was taking care of a potentially dangerous situation (Pete likes to beat his wife).

Up to this point, I haven’t been the biggest fan of Michonne. Although, she has had her moments, killing The Governor and a horde of Walkers with her samurai sword. But Rick Grimes is the main character on this show and the one I tend to root for the most.

Now that Michonne has somewhat turned her back on Rick, it’s going to be hard to root for her moving forward. Michonne, however, may have the opportunity to win back my support if she helps improve Rick and/or the group’s situation in the Season 5. That’s a big maybe. Something crazy is about to go down, though, in the season finale. I just have no clue what it will be. Perhaps it will be another curveball.
