The Madness of March

Despite the cratering economy, many sites are offering $100 million to bracketologists around the internet if they get every single NCAA tournament game right. They might as well offer a trip to Mars where you can hang out with Dr. Manhattan and his blue penis. No one has ever gotten any game right. Many feel proud if they get the entire opening round correct. And they should. The NCAA Tournament is the hardest sporting event to predict.

That said, all my choices are going to be correct this year. I'm going to win $100 million dollars. And the first thing I'm going to buy is a panther.
