TSD Exclusive: 25,000 Americans expected to lose mind during March Madness

Must everything I love be tainted?

More fun that way.

So, you got your brackets filled in yet? For me, it will be sort of an uniformed foray into the barely understood, but I like the idea of three-week crap shoot, even though I have concern for the people who have bet the house on the home team.

So far my UCLA vs UNC final prediction is good.

Raq and a Hard place.

Got money on it, Libertas?

BTW, are you following the women's NCAA final four? Gimme a break. Why is that star player risking limb to win for the gipper? I don't get it.

The 6-foot-4 forward dislocated her shoulder in the first half as she stole the ball and was dribbling up court, but returned to the game quickly after being attended to by a trainer.

She grabbed her arm minutes later after trying to deflect a pass and went to the locker room with 15.6 seconds left. She returned wearing a shoulder sleeve with 10:39 left in the second half.

A team spokeswoman said Wednesday that Parker's shoulder was being treated symptomatically, but declined to say what symptoms were being treated other than to say her shoulder was sore.

There's no doubt Tennessee needs Parker healthy to play LSU.

No, thank God sports is one of the few things I won't bet on. Especially this year, when all the Final Four teams were truly top notch... if anything, UCLA played much weaker than expected once the tournament started.
