Yeah, it's kinda that time...

Things slow down a bit for many (except for those who think every game they lose is rigged in Daily Fantasy)...

Here are a few things, though, to show I'm still here...  For now...

• What could probably deserve a longer form situation is NIL's impact on March Madness.  The only real upset of the tournament was High Point beating a badly overrated Wisconsin team in a 5-12 upset.  Two years in a row now, the 13-14-15 seeds went 0-12.  There is now at least a groundswell of a call to basically end the Madness part of it and push the one-bid conferences to the NIT entirely.
• As a result, we do have a new record perfect bracket, kinda.  For the first time in history (Center Road's -- which is still the record at 49 -- was in the Yahoo! game), ESPN actually got a perfect bracket into Day Four -- then Florida being upset blew it all up after 43 wins to start the tournament. 
• A darker story of some human interest:  The good news is that there is a quadruple amputee (hands and feet) in Maryland who has somehow gained the skill to play professional cornhole.
• The bad news is that, allegedly, he has also gained the skill to do something else:  Shoot a gun.  Dayton Webber is being charged with Murder 1, Murder 2, and other charges for shooting someone he had an argument with.
