Bracketology Basics, March Mayhem, Parody Pope
As I See It...
By Pete Burmeister on
News from the Coffee Shop
March 28, 2013 4:32 PM
I'm fascinated with the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship, always have been. Once you get your head around the fact that basketball is a fickle sport that is unable to define what is or is not a foul and refuses to use basic technology of video replay, it does make for great entertainment. It's one of the few sporting events that truly lives up to the hype given to it by the talking heads. Each year a unknown team rises above the perennial "blue bloods" of college basketball and pulls off a shocking upset. By now you've heard about the big wins this year from Harvard, LaSalle, and (the acronym school FGCU) Florida Golf Coast University. Though the Cinderella stories will likely end in the Sweet 16 games, it proves time and time again that the games get played for a reason.
While I'm on the subject of pulling off upsets and as proof that there is absolutely no skill involved in filling out bracket picks, I had my 3 year old daughter complete one on the iPad for the News from the Coffee Shop pool this year. By the way, she's in first place through the first weekend with all of her own picks. She also has Sparty winning it all. Like her old-man, she knows how to pick a winner! Click here to check out the complete standings.
One last thing... have you ever been in a pool with that guy that "is doing awesome in my other pool?" Yeah, me too. I hate that guy. Get a life, fill out one bracket and stick with it.
I figure the "powers to be" want the people to believe that these are examples of "Change" for the Catholic Church. Huh, wait a minute... seems like we've heard that campaign slogan before- Change. You surly aren't going to fall for that again are you? You want change? Get Dennis Rodman in that white cloak and ruby red slippers! After all, he is on a mission to save the world.
May Corn
May corn synthetic is at $6.78. -$.57 for the day. Here's to hoping things cool off over the long weekend!
