Back in Business

And we are back! I know things have been dark over here at GameTime, TBD© for a couple of weeks, and I apologize. Unfortunately, I am only one man and so, when my firm sent me off to the (deep) South for two weeks, I was unable to fulfill my editorial duties. While I had fully intended to drop one of my famous "Top 10" lists on you today (I saw a man die in a casino in Biloxi, Mississippi while he was playing Blackjack . . . I can't make this stuff up . . . remind me never to die in casino, it's surreal), but I went to the UCLA basketball game last night and this happened. Not that I necessarily needed reminding, but March Madness has arrived, and its arrival means GameTime, TBD© will be in overdrive for the next month as the Bruins set out in search of their 12th NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.

March Madness also means the return of my favorite announcer of all time, Gus Johnson, but that is for a later date. Right now I have got to bear down and get ready for all of the conference tournaments next week. I have got to discover which mid-major school has the best shot of making a run in the "Big Dance" because I do not want to get beat by my Better Half in our family's NCAA Tournament Pool. So while I go looking for next week's schedule . . . er . . . I mean work . . . here are some things you might have missed this week:
  • The uprising against the evil four-letter empire continues; keep fighting the good fight (oh, and I still love Dan Patrick)!
  • While avoiding the obvious pun, hitting golf balls at a rare bird is not the brightest of ideas.
  • Did you known there was going to be an All-American Football League? Apparently you were not alone.
  • Apparently the legal system works a little differently in Japan.
  • I think it is time for Brazil to rethink their legal education system.
  • I will be the first to admit that my break-ups have not always been the classiest, but I think this one may out class them all.
  • Another week, another Britney Spears pregnancy rumor. White-trash-redneck trifecta now in play.
  • At 23 years of age, I was in my first year of law school.
  • Apparently French women are the new sexual predators. Their secret weapon? Body odor.
As for your viewing pleasure, I have combed the internet, searching far and wide, for something entertaining. What did I find? Two videos; both of which are shocking:
  • Streaking never ends well for the streaker, especially during cricket matches (warning: pale man ass and a possible junk sighting).
  • This video is NOT for the faint of heart. If you believe it is normal for a leg to bend like that, find out if the skier enjoyed having his lower leg amputated (I barely got through this one).
Okay, that was kind of depressing. I feel bad. So here is a bonus video to make you feel better (hint: this video will not make you feel better if you are a Gonzaga basketball fan). March Madness is back! Have a great weekend everyone!
