My annual March Madness trip to Las Vegas was a success.  I made it back alive and actually won money.  I actually had Florida Gulf Coast University covering against Georgetown and San Diego State, and wanted to bet the moneyline on each, but just was not brave enough to do it.  Hopefully my Gators are able to knock of FGCU tonight.  There are nine Jewish players in the NFL, including Geoff Schwartz, who provided ten random facts about being a Jewish athlete.  On Forbes this week: (1) Toronto Blue Jays Tickets To Be Amongst The Most Expensive In 2013; (2) How The City Of Fort Myers Is Exploiting Florida Gulf Coast’s NCAA Tournament Success; and (3) March Madness 2013: Will A Cinderella Team Make The Final Four?  And as always, the weekly wrap-up:
