All Hail The Pathos Of The NBA Draft Lottery

Mark Harmon. Something else I learned from that Bracketology book: Mark Harmon, the guy from the "NCIS" television show that's insanely popular even though I've never met a single person who has seen it, was actually the starting quarterback for UCLA. For two seasons, actually; his father was Tom Harmon, the guy who won a Heisman Trophy for Michigan. This makes me respect him more as an actor than it does as a former athlete: You have to admire a matinee idol ex-jock willing to play Ted Bundy. I was 11 years old when that movie came out, and I was absolutely terrified by men with mustaches for the next 10 years because of it. At least I hope that was why. Memory repression can be a terrifying thing.
