A friend asked me the other day if there is a place to find all of the most important dates on the sports calendar, not just the obvious stuff, but the lesser known things like salary arbitration deadlines in MLB and regional combines for the NFL draft. What I discovered is that the information is out there, but you have to search in multiple spots to find it.
Like a thorn in our side we just couldn’t let this go unattended…so here it is, our 2013 Ultimate Sports Calendar full of things you need to know and others you are now more dumber for knowing exist. We aren’t giving team schedules here, just uniquely important dates. If you think we missed anything alert us in the comments at the bottom of the page and we’ll make sure to add it.
