NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2, Round of 64, Afternoon
Once again Play Ins are a non-factor this afternoon. I won’t overwork this intro because it’s already got a ton of energy in it and I need a nap. Today’s Games Time Network Seed Team Record Seed Team Record Region 12:15 pm CBS 7 Texas A&M 20 – 12 10 Providence 21 – 13 West …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Look, the Women’s game is just superior if you care about Basketball at all. Sure UConn is dominant and part of it is that they play from the Tip straight through because of their conditioning but it’s not like they’re bullies in the Paint- this is not Hockey. They rebound with authority at both ends …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2 Play Ins
As it turns out I have a rooting interest today, though I don’t expect much will come of it. I’m a pretty fair fan of Syracuse because I spent several years working there as a Life Guard and Water Safety Instructor. Never went to see a game live either at Manley or the Dome (or …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1 Play Ins
March Madness as in I must be insane to attempt this. It’s an unbelievable amount of work. Clicking through on the team’s name brings you to their school basketball home page. Clicking through on their record brings you to their game results in case you’re foolish enough to try and handicap and are involved in …

Cryptocurrency
Fundamentally no more valuable than Tulips, Gold, Oil, or Bananas (say goodbye to the Cavendish you’re used to) it has a certain utility as a medium of exchange provided you can find a market that accepts it. Federal Reserve Notes (look in your wallet) are mandated by the United States Government with all the power …
