The Two Bracketeers

As we've picked the National Champion three years running, we decided to post our bracket online this year. (Which means we'll probably completely embarrass ourselves. But heck, nobody's perfect, and we don't really know much about college basketball.)

For the record, we chose our teams before we knew the results of any games.

Our method of picking games is very simple: 1) Listen to the analysts and choose the teams in the National Championship Game. 2) Choose against all schools, cities, states, and all other location-related criteria that we don't like. 3) Pick against Obama; he is always wrong when it comes to sports. He said the top seeds will do well this year, so we picked against most of the top seeds. The sages have spoken.

Ex-Cheesy Drama Queen

We at Hydra are big Green Bay Packer fans. Therefore, we can't stand Brett Favre. The man is a traitor and a drama queen. Just thought we should clear that up.

Favre has stayed in the NFL three years too long. He never should have gone to the Jets in his first un-retirement. Yes, he won several games with late TDs - but those TDs were only required because he threw interceptions to send the other team ahead in the first place!

Then Favre went to the Vikings. He had the best statistical season of his career, but ended the year with a typical Favre moment - a key interception late in the game that essentially blew his team's chance to win.

Now he's back for his third season without a cheese-head. He didn't attend training camp and has no confidence in his wide receivers. It doesn't seem like he even thinks he made the right decision to come back. The Vikings might make the playoffs, but their postseason will be cut short in true Favre fashion - with a late interception of a stupid throw.

Breathe, Everybody

The sports world is holding its collective breath. LeBron James, the NBA's biggest free agent this offseason, will announce which team he intends to sign with on ESPN tomorrow night. We at Hydra don't understand the frenzy that surrounds LeBron's decision, nor why everyone seems to think the team he signs with will automatically be the favorite to win the Championship next season. LeBron, though he is very talented, is a wimp. A 6' 8" wimp, but a wimp all the same. He essentially quit at the end of his final game with the Cleveland Cavaliers - Game 6 of a playoff series against the Celtics. The final score of that game was only 94-85, by no means a blow-out. This clearly shows that LeBron hasn't got the maturity to go to a team, take control, and lead that team to a title. So everyone should take a deep breath and move on with their lives.

Of course, we don't really know what we're talking about. We're very casual "fans" of the Spurs, but we don't really care about the NBA as long as the Lakers and the Celtics don't win. Which made the NBA finals a time of misery for us.
