Picking the Perfect Bracket: Round 1

I’m overcoming the infinitesimal odds. I’m picking the perfect bracket. Certain schedules stipulated I couldn’t post... Read more »

In case you missed it, we blew through the four regions earlier this week. I’m en-route to picking the Perfect Bracket to rob that arrogant Warren Buffett of his billion dollars. Or not.

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN! It’s that time of year again. It’s time for you to abuse your company’s color printer, spend more time researching colleges than an undecided high school senior, and get your hopes sky-high.
