I have been ripped off
I was somehow amused to see these guys on the Today Show the other day. They've deigned to create an entire book of contests using what else but the NCAA Tournament bracket to decide what is the best of everything. Does that sound familiar at all? Of course not! Not only have I been running Faux March Madness since 2004, there have been scads of other people running tournaments of this nature. ESPN does a few every year, as does the Red Eye, as do other people.
So I guess my only complaint is that these guys seem to maybe be taking credit for using NCAA Tournament brackets to decide important pop culture questions. The only thing they should get credit for is actually being ballsy enough to publish a whole book about it!
Anyway, that said, it's almost time for the Fourth Annual Southport Squealer Faux March Madness tournament. Here's a rundown of the previous tournaments:
2004 - Champion: Ben Franklin. Runner-Up: Marv Levy.
2005 - Champion: Henry VIII. Runner-Up: Phil Jackson.
2006 - Champion: Steve McQueen. Runner-Up: Queen Elizabeth I.
Who in blazes will win this time around? Before we can know, we need a field! Well, check back tomorrow, where I will reveal the 64 contestants in the 2007 edition of the tournament. Can you FEEL the excitement? I know I can!
entry no. 776
