March Madness begins

Good Morning.

Hard to top ESPN's homicidal coverage of the NCAA tournament, which begins today.

I think it's safe to say a lot of us who don't follow college basketball extensively during the regular season, consult this sports mecca when filling out office brackets. I'm part of this group.

But it seems to come as disservice because every year Mary from accounting who couldn't give two fucks about last second shots and Cinderella stories, wins.

They say ignorance is bliss. Maybe because it brings with it a nice pay day. For Mary. Fuck Mary.

That said, win or lose, March Madness is hands down the most exciting time of year in sports. So many teams, so many story lines, and years of tradition make it such.

Grease was asking about this a little while ago. I think I filled out a bracket once. I had (and still don't have) any idea about college basketball.

All I know is that Wisconsin won their conference, their conference tournament, and are ranked 3rd or something.
