Amazingly, No Perfect Brackets, On Earth
Well, we're sorry to say, for all those who have become tired of our ramblings over here, that we will remain editor of Deadspin; with just one weekend gone in the tournament, none of the 3,472 entries in our bracket contest has nailed every game. Alas; our offer will stand for next year as well....
It's Still Not As Dangerous As A Typical Eagles Game
Please bear with me if you've seen this before; any time I see something this large and angry go into the stands that isn't Ron Artest, I must post it. Three things of note here: 1.

Dirk Has Fallen And He Can't Get Up (For At Least Two Weeks)
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who loves March Madness as much as the next guy but is really tired of hearing the phrase "You can tell they don't want to go home!"

Things That Draw In Denver When Attendance Is Dead
As you may or may not know (probably the latter) the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche aren't doing so well from a financial standpoint. Hell, the Broncos have already begun downsizing. For some reason the city of Denver isn't stuffing enough cash into the coffers of their pro franchises. Of cou...
Live Blogging the Late Afternoon Games
It's been a bit crazy, what with Duke losing and posts reproducing themselves, but I'm ready to go for the late afternoon games. As you can see, Wisconsin and Kansas State are well underway. In fact, they've just gone into the half with a score of 39-33 in favor of the third-seeded Badgers. Beasley...

Red Sox, A's Look Like They'd Rather Not Be In Japan
The Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's landed in Japan yesterday — their series starts Tuesday at 6 a.m. ET — after an 18-hour flight. We've never taken an 18-hour flight, but if we did, the last thing we'd want as soon as we got off the plane would be a bunch of photographers ready to take our picture....
Obama Vs. McCain: The Only Way To Decide
Barack Obama's NCAA Tournament office pool brackets vs. John McCain's: It's a battle for the ages, the likes of which America hasn't seen since the great Lincoln-Douglas baseball rotissierie league showdown of 1859. Who will prevail? The race for the White House — and the fate of the nation — may ha...
Celtics Munch On A Little Texas Toast

Remember What Ol' Jack Burton Says...About The NBA
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who's not saying that he's been everywhere and done everything, but does know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kind of FOOL to think we're all alone in THIS universe. And he's trying to prove that at Basketbawful. Enjo...
At Last, An NCAA Basketball Pool Without Shame
Good news if your NCAA Basketball Tournament pool is in California; no longer must you lurk in the shadows as you make your picks, hiding your brackets from the cops during routine traffic stops and pretending that your sudden interest in Drake is due to their "top-notch pharmacy and health sciences...
A Very NBA St. Patrick's Day
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who has a bit 'o the Irish in him. Although a few testy Irishmen told him this weekend that the name "McHale" is actually Scottish.

Bracket Breakdown: West Region
We wrap up our look at each region (before ceding the floor to Storming The Floor for more in-depth looks. Here's the West region. We're so glad they're calling it "Wet" again, instead of "Phoenix," though "Phoenix" is a beautiful place full of happy people and cacti....
