The well sure is running dry FOAR teams fer which to root. There's WCS' cousinfuckers, and 15 shades of hate and/or rape. Huzzah, Murrika. #7MW Michigan v. #3MW Oregon (7:09, CBS) Well, two teams I expected to sputter and fade have instead blitzkrieged through the tourney's early rounds. Hopefully, they will at

Hey, at least we got rid of Notre Dame! Documenting the atrocities... #7MW Michigan v. #2MW Louisville (12:10, CBS) Welp, the Wolverines did not go out with a whimper like I thought they might. In fact, they looked good enough to represent an even fight with the Cardinals, the lone non-evil ACC

NEW YORK, 4:30 a.m.: A bus rolls up to NFL Headquarters. The brakes hiss as the front door opens. A smoky fog rolls along the early morning street as a stumbling figure falls onto the curb. WHOO! HOT DAMN! That Snyder guy knows how to party! No, no guys I'm good, JJ
