A memo to the sports blogosphere

Re: NCAA brackets

As one of your own, I'm going to be truthful because it's for your own good.

So you are a blogger who picked Davidson to make the Sweet Sixteen? Had Duke getting knocked off in the first weekend? Called Sparty's tourney run? Your Final four picks are still alive? Congratulations! Good for you.

Just keep this in mind. I don't care.

Sure, we all did brackets, be it online, in the office, at your corner bar with your buddies. Filling out NCAA brackets is the American way. But there is no such thing as "bracketology." It's pure, unadulterated, bullshit fueled by MSM hype.

I honestly don't give a shit...No, make that two shits...how good or bad your NCAA brackets turned out. You are in the 90th percentile? I have no interest whatsoever. Picked every upset in the first two rounds? Big fucking deal. You aren't some bracket savant, you got damn lucky.

We all hear the stories on the Monday after the first weekend. There's a secretary who has never watched a college basketball game in her life, made her picks using favorite colors as a guide, and did just as well as you. Some dude sitting in a sports bar did his brackets while drunk off his ass on Jagermeister, yet he managed to more games correct than you.

Lucky or good, idiot or genius, at least they didn't feel the need to incessantly talk about their picks.

Please, I'm begging you. Enough already. Do us all a favor, and declare a moratorium on blogging about your brackets, OK? Thanks!

Regards and salutations,

Big Al
