OK, since I rarely get to talk smack and I won't be in the top 3 for long, I fear, can we just show for the record that 2 of the top 3 at this point in time (you're holding the sisterhood down ncs) are women. Or socks pretending to be women.

You are still in the top 3. I would also point out that besides being manpleasing, tangy, and zesty, bnb can pick a mean bracket as well.

is there a link to where the scoring rules are kept? I assume further rounds are more points, but can't find anything.

Yes, the Rules page has the scoring (go figure). Link: http://tcmen.espn.go.com/content/tcm...ory?page=rules

[points go up each round - worth 20 points for second round games and increasing from there.]

On the upper right above your bracket, you can see your current overall rank. Mine is now 1,007,125. But I have momentum.

But is it really Saint Joementum?

Are you alleging that I am a sock pretending to be a woman? Or are you admitting that you are a sock pretending to be a woman?

If it's the former, Bitch, please.

If it's the latter, 'bout time.

He's correctly alleging that Burger is a sock pretending to be a woman. That was why Burger adopted the nickname "cooter", an obviously contrived feminine appellation.

And I would propose that Sr8 adopt the new moniker of "Spirit of St. Louis."

And if the Stanford tree is cut down in the second round, does it make a sound anywhere east of Sacramento? What a wipeout for the Pac 10.

It's always somewhat pleasurable to see the picks of the TV commentators to win it all instead go down in flames in the early rounds.

you panic too easily. I just need Nevada to take it all and I'm right back in it.
