The NYTimes says that 4 of its 3 million brackets have the Final Four correct. That's amazing. It warms my heart. Why? Because all of the gaseous blabbering emitted on ESPN and talk radio and that moderately annoying fellow in Sales who is convinced he knows more than you about sports was proven, yet again, to be void. Empty. Worthless.

Guys like Herbstreet and his cohort are the con artists of the 2000s and our sports-crazy society. I don't know when they'll go away, but hopefully sooner rather than later, when all of the data finally gets easier to sort and we can simply pick for ourselves.
