This tournament is a crapshoot, so why not post my bullshit predictions? I'll separate them by the sites of the games.
Lexington, Kentucky. Games are from the South bracket.
(1) Buckeyes (29-3) vs. (16) Central Conn. St. (22-11). Ohio State's going to win this game by 50 points. That's the great analysis that you could only find on this blog.
(8) Mormons (25-8) vs. (9) X (24-8). This is a tossup. I'll take Xavier. They've got something to prove, and they're playing much clo

• Just found out that the out-of-control niece-in-law has an STD -- lol. I don't know what it's called, but it involves warts, probably leads to cancer and is not going away. When the grandmother confronted her on this sometime today (they found out about this from some gynecology tests that showed "abnormalities"), I was told the niece replied, "It's not an STD. I got it from having multiple sexual partners." When the Web MD printout was shown to her stating that this was indeed

Number 38: Stephen Joseph
I think he's known at the bottom part of the board for that cyber-wrestling stuff that scares me away. He's also known for SAVING THE BOARD at one time or another. He's also known for swing dancing and for his hatred of excess government spending. And he's also known for not liking Mikey Moore, but for liking television anchor babes for their looks and not for their ability to read from a teleprompter. I just wish I knew what he did fo
This division/region was completely blown to pieces in the 1st round but this round things almost went to form. The '86 Angels did what the '89 A's were supposed to do and that was sweep the '87 Mariners. The other three series all went at least six games with the one upset by the '83 White Sox as they eliminated the '87 Twins in seven games. Interesting thing about that series is every game was won by the road team, the complete opposite of the '87 World Series. That now leaves no World Series

• I'm sure there's an EricMM joke to be made here, but I'm in a hurry so I'll leave it up to your imagination.
At least the Nazis made lampshades from recycled material.
• Well, I haven’t checked out what the NBA has been up to in a while. Might as well see who is where in the standings. Atlantic Division: Hey, there’s a team over .500, and it’s Toronto. The Knicks are only six games below the mediocre mark, and the Celtics … well, I knew they had a long losing strea
-Well, I beat razazteca in round 1 of the TSM poster tournament. It feels good to win, though raz isn't really competition. Also, Slayer beat Matt "creepy bastard" Young, Leena (who actually voted for raz) beat snuffbox, and Lushus beat Edwin.
-C-Bacon has returned, and me, Invader3k, and Bobby Peru have ripped on him. Personally, I'm just starting to lose interest in him, as he's pretty much a one-trick pony.
-300 looks good, in spite of the drubbing some critics are giving it. I'll c

• Yet another reason why men and women will never understand each other.
The better half and I are meeting up with two friends from Ohio this weekend. Having been part of many a botched planned outing in my life, I’ve learned to just go with the flow when dealing with events taking place out of state. Long story short. We are all traveling several hours to Columbus. I told my one friend that the first person to get to their hotel calls the other groups via cell phone. When ev

• I have joked in the past that a baby who survives a Planned Parenthood vacuum is a failed abortion. Wow, was I right.
You know, you could always put the kid up for adoption, you dumb bitch. And now that this has gone public, I can't wait until this kid heads off to school. The schoolyard teasing will be the stuff of legend. I wonder if she at least got her money back from this procedure?

After the shocking performance of the #16 seeds in the first round, no reason to expect that to change as they now get lesser competition in the 2nd Round. The '88 Pirates continue their Cinderella run by taking care of the '89 Cubs in five games to advance to the Sweet 16. In fact no series in the N.L. East Quarters went further than five games with the '88 Mets sweeping the '82 Cardinals thus knocking off the lone World Champion remaining in the region/division.
Stat lines I throw in are
-Well, there were riots in Copenhagen over the past few days. Apparently, it's because a group of squatters failed to move out of the shitty place they were living in (even though they had been officialy evicted), and instead of moving to another abandoned building like they were told to (they had TWO FUCKING WEEKS to do this) they threw a temper tantrum and had a big riot, and invited all their asshole "Anarchist" friends from other parts of Europe to burn cars, destroy building, throw shit at

• Oh no, Scooter Libby has been busted for outing a covert CIA agent...
...or lying or somthing. That ought to show how much I paid attention to this story.

• Get the hell out of here.
Massive heart attack? Well I wouldn't think it'd be a "small" heart attack.
6:30 p.m.
• So Ann Coulter said something wacky again, this time questioning the sexuality of the pretty boy, err, John Edwards. Apparently, being a bit on the prissy side qualifiies someone as being a "faggot." Odd, I would have questioned his pitching/catching status based on his wife.
I mean, when compared to Elizabeth Edwards, Arianna Huffington looks like a trophy wife.
• Scottie Pippen wants to play again in the NBA.

• One of the bigger surprises this NFL off-season, according to the “experts” at ESPN is the Steelers cutting linebacker Joey Porter.
I was a bit taken back by this, too, although for a different reason. I knew Porter wasn’t going to be a Steeler for long, but I thought he’d finish the final year of his contract with the Steelers not resigning him for the 2008-09 season. Oh well, a new coach arrived so that means clean house, which isn’t a bad idea. Take it from me. Anyt

• Awww, they found a long-lost relative of the triceratops. I'm such a ceratopsian mark it's not even funny. And who's the perv that drew this? (Note the babies toward the bottom left.)
• And speaking of dinosaurs, anybody remember these?
Alrighty then.

• Wait a second, so a government school does nothing when several kids make fun of a Mormon student’s religion, but when she responds to them by saying, “that’s so gay” she's the one who gets in trouble?
Good God, I can’t imagine what would have happened to me and some of the shit I used to say. And this reason…
…doesn’t cut it. Sorry, but what the government school did was … well, gay. I miss the good ol' days when you could play "smear the queer," and it
My first mock draft became obsolete about 5 minutes after I finished it. This one accounts for Combine results. The next one will be the day before the draft. And it will probably look a lot different.
1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell (QB, Louisiana State)
2. Detroit Lions - Joe Thomas (OT, Wisconsin)
3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Calvin Johnson (WR, Georgia Tech)
5. Arizona Cardinals - Gaines Adams (DE, Clemson)
6. Washington

• I'm shocked ... SHOCKED that Santorum wasn't brought on as a CNN or MSNBC or cBS analyst.
Oh dear God no.
Rick, you're my n*gga and all that, but please don't be the token Jesus freak candidate in the '08 GOP primary. I know you're all about the lord and stuff, but just talk on television a lot and get paid well for your services.

Hey if the '87 Mariners can beat the '89 A's, why not the '86 Indians beating the '84 Tigers? Well it happened thus meaning the '88 Dodgers were the only #1 seed to get out of the first round and they had to go to seven games to do so. The top half of the bracket in this region/division has been blown wide open as every lower seed won while on the bottom half three of the four higher seeds advanced. We had our second sweep as the '80 Yankees dusted off the '80 Orioles including an 18-0 thrashing

• Well I just had the shortest pre-screening interview of my life.
“Do you know Photoshop?”
“Yes.
“Do you know Illustrator?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know Quark?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how much pay this job offers?”
“Yes.”
We’ll be holding interviews shortly.”
“Uh, OK.’
I knew I should have said “No” for that third question. Damnit.
• Do it, for the CHILDREN! I remember back in the mid-90s when Republicans acted like they cared about
21.) Denver - CB Marcus McCauley, Fresno St: Due to the tragic passing of Darrent Williams the Broncos need another good corner. Marcus is a speedster and a better corner than former teammate Richard Marshall whom was drafted by the Panthers in the second round last year.
22.) Dallas - S Michael Griffin, Texas: The Cowboys have two glaring needs; Safety and OG. I don't believe there's an OG worthy of a first round pick so the Cowboys draft for value and grab Griffin to team-up with Roy Will
11.) San Fran - LB Jon Beason, Miami (FL): Beason might be looked at as a reach for this spot at the moment, but I think his stock is going to continue to rise and by draft day he'll be looked at as a first round pick. Mike Nolan loves his linebackers as was evidenced during his tenure in Baltimore and Beason has the motor of a Jonathan Vilma with the hitting capabilities of Ray Lewis (both also products of "The U"). With Manny Lawson being the only stand-out LBer this pick gives them options as
• So this morning I was listening to some RIGHT-WING RADIO and the guy was talking about some hippie enviro-weenine story – I think it was an op-ed from the Rocky Mountain News. Anyway, the writer referred to the EricMM’s of the world as an enviro-melon: Green on the outside, Red on the inside. I don’t know how long that joke has been in existence but goddamn that was funny.
• Well shit, now I can sleep more soundly at night knowing this:
I’m sure there’s a joke to be made about
The Departed: Martin Scorsese - Rotten Tomatoe Ranking 93% - I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I waited nearly two weeks to rent, since it was out every time I went to the movie store. I'm not a huge Dicaprio fan, but he was pretty fucking brillant in his role, as was Nicholson as the absurdly calm, yet insane mob lord. Matt Damon is eh, as is Wahlberg, regardless of their performances this movie is Highly recommended. The ending is a twist I never thought I'd see coming.
