I am obviously going to enter in an effort to try and win my own money back, but I must say that I am disappointed that I can't play both the White Sox under and the Cubs over.

That used to be my bread and butter back in the days where I had to fund my gaming account every other week.

Yes. That goes for everyone who is under the sill...

Yes. That goes for everyone who is under the silly assumption that they are going to win.

In fact, it would be even better if you click on the Sportsbook link, and then go over there, deposit about $5K, and lose it immediately. Ad revenues would really spike if that happened.

Since I am going to be dominating you guys in this...

Since I am going to be dominating you guys in this totals contest, it would probably be profitable for both you and I to click on your sportsbook.com ad every day, huh?

I don't know where to put this, so I am putting it...

I don't know where to put this, so I am putting it here, but I officially hate Richard Deitch:

PERSON OF THE WEEK

Tim Brando, CBS Sports: In a stroke of scheduling fortune, Brando and his partner, Mike Gminski, called all four upsets in the Tampa region, including Western Kentucky's buzzer-beating win over Drake. "The running joke in the industry is Tim Brando is this year's Gus Johnson," said Brando, who has called the tournament for CBS since 1985. Brando said only the 1998 NCAA Midwest regional finals, where he was partnered with the late Al McGuire, topped last weekend.

"Stanford came from six points down with less than a minute to go to win [over Rhode Island]," Brando said. "From a broadcasting moment at CBS, that was sort of my one shining moment up until this past weekend."

The broadcaster was well aware the nation's sporting eyes were transfixed to he and his partner in Tampa. "Actually, you can't help but know because you are hearing from your producers who are being told from New York that we're going to "Lay out for a join. Lay out for a join," said Brando. "Whenever we hear that in our ears, we know that they are collapsing audiences from other games into us. You're also equally aware when you are being told when audiences are being taken away. That's a sinking feeling, too."

I'd insert the link, but I don't know a href that well...
