Hopefully we will have at least 10 players, therefore we are looking at least a total pot of $200

I didn't even look at the point system so I'm not sure how this thing wil be scored.  But, Peter Brown said this morning on SNR that it's stupid to give the same points to a #1 beating a #16 as every other game.  If you have the balls to pick a huge upset, you should be rewarded for it.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I actually thought about giving something to last place (I think I actually came in last, last year) but decided against it.  The poll has spoken and the payouts will be as follows.

As it stands right now:

1st 60%:  $180
2nd 30%:  $90
3rd 10%:  $30

These numbers will change if we can get a few more players

18 total players x $20 = $360 total pot

1st place  60% of 360 = $216

2nd place  30% of 360 = $108

3rd place  10% of 360 = $36

Hooray

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Oh ye of little faith (and reason).  (Just teasing, Jumbo.)


I was gratified to see some of these talking-head, slicked-back-hair, shiny-suited, sports commentators eat crow after Carolina's win Monday...these guys being the same folk talking up the greatness of the Big East and the Big Ten this season.

Congrats to The X bracket winners!
