Green With Madness

Yesterday was St Patrick’s Day…today is Liver Recovery Day.

I had a blast broadcasting from Dolan’s. Thanks to Barry & The staff over there for letting us be a part of the madness…

St Patty's Day 2011
That 2nd "red-eye-removal" flash gets me everytime...I swear I'm not drunk...

St. aptty's Day 2011
These people walked in as the doors opened, and I can only assume walked out as the doors closed...

Speaking of madness... March Madness got started yesterday too!

I’m not much of a basketball guy. In fact: I kind of despise it. I was never coordinated enough to make any type of shot or pass, unless standing perfectly still without opponents, which is why, I assume, I don’t like watching it either…plus, I’m only 5’10” and I don’t need to have my shoes custom made…I’m just not built for it.

That said, though, this time of year is a time of year when Basketball is actually intriguing…maybe it’s because I have money on it, but I enjoy the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships. I don’t watch every game – in fact, I hardly watch any of them – but when I do have it on, I find it to be some of the most exciting basketball played. These kids – he says, despite being a kid, himself – play with so much heart and soul that it’s fun to watch.

If the NBA was this passionate, I might care.

It’s win, or lose; these teams are fighting for the chance to be champions and their shot at glory. For some, it’s their final shot. Not everyone gets to be in the NBA, so there’s this sense of urgency with the games. As a viewer, I can relate…I am a Leafs fan after all. Every Game is important this time of year.

However, I know nothing about the teams involved in this tournament, except that I think Morehead is a funny name for a university.

So, I employ a very scientific method when it comes to filling out my bracket for the inter-office pool….

March Madness Decision maker
This 2008 Canadian Quarter has made tough decisions for the last three years.

The NCAA bracket is basically a crap-shoot. When all that separates 2nd from 15th is a single win, it really is anyone’s tournament. That’s why these office pools are fun. So below is my bracket, final picks based on coin-tossery.

My March Madness Bracket Go....Villanova?

Wish me luck
