Bracket Tourney Also-Rans
For those of you, like myself, who aren’t particularly compelled by March Madness, here are some alternative bracket pools that you can follow:
Mentalfloss is running a “Tournament of Genius.” Einstein is, of course, the prohibitive favorite there. Keep an eye out for my sleeper pick, Nikola Tesla and fan favorite, Stephen Colbert.
On the flipside, HolyTaco is currently running the 2009 National Douchebag Tournament. You’ve got to think that A-Rod is in the driver’s seat here. While Bernie Madoff, Rush Limbaugh, and the Notorius AIG all have compelling cases, I’m holding out hope for Dane Cook to pull it out.
I like your favorites in the ‘Douchebag’ category except for Arod. I think he’s very far down the list. As for the ‘Genius’ category the name Hugh Heffner should be near the top. How many 80 year olds are envied by guys in their 20s?
