You Get To Fill Out ONE Bracket

Let me start this blog by saying I love Peter Burns and none of my ire is directed at him personally, because he is only one of tens of millions of Americans who fill out multiple NCAA Tournament brackets. He does a great job with everything else he does.

With that said, however, the real madness in March is people doing exactly what Peter is describing. What the fuck do you mean you have three brackets?

You should feel like a fool if someone asks you who you picked in an NCAA Tournament game and your response is, "Well I have Lipscomb winning in my heart bracket but I have Iowa State in the Sweet Sixteen in my head bracket." And any self-respecting basketball fan who has completed his allowed one and only bracket should not regard anything you say moving forward from that point.

If there are people out there who want to fill out six brackets, knock yourself out, I guess. Just don't ever engage in a conversation in which people are discussing their brackets they pored over and carefully picked. Odds are that one of your handful will be pretty good. But you broke the rules.

You get one bracket if you want to be taken seriously. Make it good.
