To all of you who have shouted at us on Twitter, through our email address, and in my Gchat windows: Yes, we know, weâre late.
The Only Good Brackets Are For Basketball
I remember the first time I played an NCAA tournament pool. I was 8. I picked UCLA to win it all, probably because even then I was a huge dork and knew they had won a lot of games, historically. Or maybe I liked their colors.
Show Us Your March Madness Bracket
The first round of March Madness starts Thursday, and that means there are brackets to be filled. Letâs see yours.
All Losers Brackets Should Be Called Repechages
What do you call the part of a double-elimination tournament where the losers go after their first loss? There is a reasonable case for âloserâs bracket,â âlosers bracket,â and âlosersâ bracket.â Letâs give loserâs bracket two losses; this isnât the bracket of one loser. Losersâ bracket might be strongerâŚ
Humorless Dickhole Business Writer Very Upset About March Madness Pools
As much as we here at Deadspin like to poke fun at sportswriters and political hot-take artists, the truth is that business journalists may be the lowliest scum of all. Weâre all horrified by Darren Rovell, and yet thereâs only ONE of him in sports. Really, that man is just a business reporter in spirit, crossing overâŚ

What The Way You Filled Out Your Bracket Says About You
By now, youâve probably filled out your NCAA Tournament bracket with (a pen/typed computer words/the blood of your enemies) and submitted it to (the guy whoâs organizing it/a website/your shrine to The Ancient Ones). While the bad picks you made to fill out your bracket are most likely matters of the public record,âŚ
If Your Bracket Is Already Busted, This Image Will Infuriate You
You spent hours, maybe even days agonizing over your bracket, and given how many upsets there were yesterday, it's likely that the whole thing has already gone up in flames. If you're still smarting, I suggest not scrolling down to look at the image below.
March Madness Beer Brackets Are Stupid, So Here's The Winner Of Ours!
Have you guys filled out all your brackets? I'm a bit behind this year. I've taken care of "Vegan Pizza Toppings," "Aunts Who Have Disappointed Me," "Bands I've Never Heard Of," and "Dudes Named Gary," and today I hope to get to "NCAA Men's Basketball," but I doubt I'm going to find time to complete Thrillist's "WhatâŚ
An interview with the creators of Marx Madness, which is exactly what it sounds like. Tommy Craggs, communist: "Walter Benjamin vs. C.L.R. James is a barnburner."
Meet Your Ultimate Super Bowl Snack: Nacho Cheese Doritos
Holy cow bells, what a contest!

The Ultimate Super Bowl Snack Divisional Finals Are Upon Us. VOTE!
Big Peanut took a page out of Big Avocado's playbook, attempting to throw my bracket by ginning up Twitter support. Big Peanut did not succeed.
Round 2 Of The Ultimate Super Bowl Snack Playoffs Starts NOW! Vote!
Cheese & Crackers very nearly pulled off a huge upset. The 8-seed, matched up against football snack staple Nacho Cheese Doritos, was almost left off the bracket entirely because your bracketeer thought it perhaps a touch too bougie for this exercise. Which is insane, when you consider that the same bracketeerâŚ

The Super Bowl is a grand time for food. All those New Year's Resolutions about eating right, getting fit, and drinking less go out the window just in time for nimble fingers to set to work crafting the perfect snack stadium or dialing Dominos.
We Found The Poor Guy Whose Bracket Mistake Could Cost Him $100,000
Corey Johnson currently has the fourth-best bracket in America. The 20 best brackets will win $100,000 from Quicken Loans and Yahoo Sports, but Corey will not be among them. Corey's bracket didn't pick a champion. Where will Corey be watching tonight's championship game? "From a rope hanging from a tree," he tells me.
Poor Schmo Forgets To Pick Bracket Winner, Costs Himself Shot At $100K
This is the worst bracket ever filled out. Which is to say it's an excellent bracket. Corey nailed 11 of the Sweet 16 teams, seven of the Elite Eight, three of the Final Four, and has a UConn-Kentucky championship game. Except Corey forgot to pick a winner. [Update: We talked to Corey.]
