Not a fan of the Cavs but i kinda feel bad for the fans. I personally did not like the way James handled things. A one hr TV special was classless. I have always thought Lebron was a bit of a fraud to be honest. I thought in the last playoff series that James quit on his team. If his intentions were to leave and play with Wade and Bosh all along, then i could see a reason for him to tank games. How would he explain to the fans that he wanted to leave to win if he had just won a title? It's been reported these 3 made a deal in the 08 olympics to play together. So i don't believe James at all when he says he made his decision yesterday morning. This decision was made long ago and the last week was nothing but an act, a joyride if you will, full of reality tv cameras and all. BTW, the owner of the Cavs is furious! lol

I'm a Purdue fan so i know the feeling to lose one of your best players. Hated to see Lucas go down like that at this stage of the game. It was great to see both Michigan State and Purdue still advance to the sweet 16 though even despite being short handed. Says a lot for the Big Ten, who by the way is having a pretty nice tournament. The mighty big East who all the talking heads love so much is not doing so hot. It's funny listening to guys on ESPN making excuses for them now.

That was one of the more interesting first days in some time. I had a feeling this may happen as their is no real dominant team this year and the gap between a lot of these teams is not that big. It's really messed up my bracket though as it seems like every close game went against me. I lost 4 games by a total of 5 points and 3 of those games were decided with under a second left.

Ouch, i'm off to my worst start in years. It's going to be a year for the upsets with so many equally talented teams. Gtown getting hammered at the moment as well by a 14 seed.

I have not submitted multiple brackets in any one pool. I have however participated in several different challenges and my bracket in each pool is not necessarily exact. I only do the free online contests anyway, so i'm not losing any money either way and most of them only allow for one entry. ESPN.com is an exception as they allow 10 per person and with the amount of entries they receive every year, i can tell you that there is a whole of people who do not agree with you:D

I've got Kansas in quite a few of my brackets, but i'm not extremely confident about it as they got placed in a pretty tough bracket. I think they got jobbed actually. I think this is a year where there are several different teams who could have a legit shot of winning it all. There isn't one truly dominant team this year. Kentucky is good, but very young. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I'm a Purdue fan myself and our dream of a deep run ended 2 weeks ago when Robbie Hummel blew out his knee. Kind of took a lot of the excitement out of it for me.

I'm hopeful for a colts win. I will be in attendance on the 20 yard line for my first ever AFC title game in person. I was at the Ravens game last Saturday too and had a blast. The Jets could pull the upset, but they would need a lot of things to go right, such as kickers continuing to miss field goals against them. I feel better about this matchup then i probably would have versus the Chargers. The Chargers just matchup great with the Colts for some reason. That being said, there is still a small part of me that doesn't fully trust the shoe in the playoffs. So why i feel good about there chances, i'm certainly not overconfident and realize anything could happen.

I'd like to see Indy take either DT Perria Jerry or Evander "Ziggy" Hood. If they go WR, i'm hoping maybe Hakeem Nicks. It's also possible they could go RB, but outside of Moreno or maybe Wells, i don't know who they would waste a first on. After years of watching Colts GM Bill Polian draft, one thing is certain, my picks are probably way off and he will probably draft some guy I have never heard of. He does do a pretty good job though.

Im in as well. I saw this post over on another hunting site and joined up on Sunday. I'm under the name of bigbuck00.

I just wonder who he is going to throw the ball too. Other then the tight end, i'm not even sure who their receivers are. Since they gave up draft picks, getting one early via draft isn't going to happen. I believe that Matt Forte, the RB, led the bears in receptions last year. Cutler can throw it around, there is no doubt about it. There is also no doubt that Denver's receiving unit blows the Bears out of the water. Orton wasn't great, but considering what he had to work with, i felt he did a decent job and was getting better each season. I just wonder if he had some better receivers what may have happened. And, the Bears defense was not exactly solid last year either. 21st ranked overall. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

Terrible Sunday. I can kiss the big screen goodbye. Aww well, it was fun while it lasted anyway. For as much crap as the big ten took this year from people like Espn, i think it was great that Michigan State beat the overall number 1 from the big east conference and did it convincingly. The task becomes a little harder with UCONN and the man in the middle, but i think State can hang with em.

There is the hit to my realtree bracket. I had Pitt winning it all. Thats ok, i had Nova in the other bracket for the TV. That was a heck of a game too. 33rd nationally now in my yahoo bracket. Have UNC winning that one but i don't think it matters, someone ahead of me im sure will have the same final 4. Could use the 10 grand though lol.

Hmm, i'm currently in 2nd place. However, i am in another bracket challenge locally here in Indiana on one of the TV news websites. First place in that contest is a free big screen HD television. Before the sweet 16, i was in about 275th place and figured i was done. As of today, i'm tied for first with 2 other people. A lot of chalk pickers evidently. But, my final 4 picks for the realtree bracket and this other bracket are a tad different. So in order for me to win the TV, my bracket for realtree will have to take a hit, in this case, i would be ok with that.

He is sorry that he got caught, thats about it. At least he is smart enough to learn from the ones before him though that it is better to just admit it from the start instead of denying it.

Good point, and then they turn around and flag Pittsburgh for the exact same thing. That's what i'm saying, absolutely no consistency in the way games are officiated anymore. It's pathetic, maybe they need to re think the idea of part time refs.
