The 15

Welcome to Day 2 of March Sadness 2026! Things got off to a roaring start on Tuesday, with Jerry Thornton and Matt McCarthy ekeing out one vote victories. Jarad Carrabis and Mark Dondero also scored single digit victories in a hard-fought opening round. Once other Day 1 highlight was Bert Breer recording the first ever shoutout in tournament history, by jumping out to a 50-0 lead over Jeff Howe and triggering the Mercy Rule circuit breaker. Such an embarrassing showing would be enough to drive a man to drink!

Region C
8 Mike Kadlick vs Taylor Kyles 9
Kadlick kicks Kyles’ keister.

5 Dan Shaughnessy vs Kevin Millar 12
This looks like a fait de complete for the CHB, but don’t let Millar win today!

Nick “Fitzy” Stevens 7 vs Cerrone Battel 10
New York’s finest should roll over the Raleigh NC DPW worker in this Battle of Fake Bostonians.

Region V
Jim Murray 1 vs James “Scaz” Scaramozino WC
The 43 seconds it took to look up Scaz’s real name was a waste of time.

Brian Scalabrine 6 vs Drew Carter 11
The public finally gets to decide who is at more at fault for diminished quality of the Celtics TV broadcasts! (It’s Scal)

Marc Bertrand 2 vs Brian Barrett 15
Bertrand swallows Barrett whole. A little shaking, a little tenderizing, and down he goes.

Region N
Kevin Paul “E” Dupont 4 vs Joe Haggerty 13
A blowout on paper, but expect Porkchop Joe to make this tighter than the top button on his shirt. However KPED will prevail.

Phil Perry 7 vs Andrew Callahan 10
The sentient Wojak cartoon upsets Curran’s boy toy.

Region T
Rob “Hardy” Poole 7 vs John Karalis 10
Hardy wins the battle of the balds

Chris Gasper 2 vs Eric Rueb WC
Rueb can always cherish that memory of his wild card win.

Vote early and vote often!
