The remainder of the Round of 32 went as predicted, save for the Andy Hart upset of Zolak, of whom the local meathead-American community views as one of their own and won’t vote for. Ponderous.
The Salty Sixteen Round will take place Monday, March 24th, the Hateable Eight later that same week. Thank you to all the voters and spectators.

Scheierman has the game of his life and gets Jackie Mac instead of Abby in the walk off interview.
The Pitino Redemption Arc is my favorite sports store in many a year.
Love Abby, but her doing play-by-play was a little ambitious considering she sounded scared to death to chime in occasionally during last season’s clamcast. Maybe shoulda had her sub in for a quarter or two earlier in the season.
I’ve just had delivery of 3 pizzas I did not order. I have called the police.
It’s like fucking Mardi Gras over here. Boston is a St. Patty’s destination now. 20 years ago, you wouldn’t come w/o chaperone.

Anthony Pepe has tried to get on Entitled Town on multiple occasions.

I’m unbothered by Coach Bill fobbing off his social media emails to Jordon. When you have a philosopher/entrepreneur right there you’d have to be an idiot not to use them.
Bruins dead cub bounce seems to be over.
A league source tells The15 that the team will be sold to William Chisholm, managing director of Symphony Technology Group. Chisholm grew up on the North Shore and is a lifelong Cs fan.

Tracy Morgan shitfaced and playing it off as a medical issue to avoid the embarrassment? That’s Drew Magary’s move!
RFK banning food additives and ingredients is not going to save you from the fact that you eat in a massive caloric surplus and refuse to do ANY type of exercise. Your children pick up on the habits you have, so it’s not going to save them either. Do better.
Citizen surveillance isn’t free, playboy.
MBTA heat is on in the 2nd red line car from the front, train is heading southbound to South Station.
Hypnotize on a Saturday night at MSG. Enough said.

Does my Buffalo Wild Wings account REALLY need to have two-factor authorization?
Rotillo is a huge St. John’s fan now? Nice.

Bipolar Bravado is my early Kentucky Derby pick.
I gotta say, on the list of ballsiest demands, URI telling media to pay $20 for professional parking is up there. Fix your shitty WiFi first, then you can start doing stuff like that.

I have to keep checking if it’s Morgan Moses or Moses Morgan. I know I’ll screw it up at least once.
Tom Wakefield made every day count.
I’d probably bang Red Panda if given the chance. But that may be the Flexeril talking.
Honk if you remember Bob & Ray.
Using “Green Teamers” as an insult is preposterous in 2025.

Bianca wants you to have a happy first day of Spring. Probably.
The ever-vacationing Kendra wishes all her voters a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from the Irish Sea! Is she hinting she’s going to boatrace her next opponent?
So with Suffolk County having the “Evacuation Day” holiday today, the Tournament will start back up Tuesday and Wednesday, 8 match-ups per day, two full regions each. Tomorrow will feature Regions V and N. Leaving Regions C and T for midweek. This way we can make sure everyone can take part in the honored tradition of voting for their mediots in this tournament while at work. During lunch.
(I will reluctantly move the Sports Junk Drawer to Thursday, so March Sadness isn’t competing against the full might of March Madness.)
Glad everyone is enjoying this in the spirit it was intended.
A pair of upsets Friday in Region T with Trenni Casey dwarf-tossing Mike Reiss, and Kendra Middleton out-pointing Taylor Kyles. Otherwise, chalk.
Several of the match-ups next week look to be humdingers and quite frankly, too good for this point in the tournament.
Keep scrolling, deadbeats.
