Faux March Madness, The Penultimate Four
Amazingly enough, dear readers, this year's edition of Faux March Madness is down to four competitors. Only two can advance to the championship match, and only one of them will go down in the annals of history as a true champion.
Without further ado, let's find out who of the four will live to see another day.
Teddy Roosevelt 76, Davy Crockett 72. TR keeps on rolling - he ousts the hero from Tennessee in a thrilling encounter. Both these guys were charismatic, inspiring individuals. But I think Roosevelt made better choices: he made his stand by charging up San Juan Hill, Crockett made his inside the Alamo. Maybe if Crockett had made it through that alive, he would have made his legend that much more spectacular. But as it was, TR takes the cake.
Keith Richards 79, Michael Jordan 73. Personally, I can't say I thought Keith Richards was going to make it this far, let alone by besting His Airness. Well, the sophisticated computer algorithms that determine the winners thought otherwise. Both these individuals bring joy to the masses through their chosen media: Richards with his guitar, Jordan with his dunks. Unfortunately, a musical career has greater longevity than a basketball career. While MJ can spend his time golfing and trying to play baseball, Richards is still blasting out "Satisfaction" to thousands of people.
So, that leaves only two contestants left. Our championship game features this very intriguing match: Keith Richards v. Teddy Roosevelt.
Who will win? Find out tomorrow!
