The Dolphins are out of the Manning race and he's working out today for the Broncos. It looks like the Broncos, Titans and Cardinals are the final contestants.

And, all of a sudden, the 49ers.

Cardinals were informed that "they're not a likely suitor at this point" in the Manning pursuit.

I have a feeling that the Manning race will get down to two teams, and then the Phillies will come out of nowhere, shock everybody and sign him.

Maybe he only wants to throw for half a season?

Some destinations have more to offer than others.

Welp, there goes my "I heard that a Paynton Manning has been heavily recruited by the Vols of Tennessee."

That Norfolk State win was awesome. Bracket buster for sure.
That extended replay time sure was trying to kill the excitement -- analyzing to see if they should have been given fractions of a second.

Time to stick a fork in my bracket.

At least this season I didn't get suckered into actually paying to get into a March madness pool. I know I'm not the only one who had Mizzou winning it all.

I had them winning it all too. Glad I don't put any money on it.
This also eliminates my ability to make fun of my roommate for picking UNLV to win it all.

Ohio beat Michigan! That's two.... Lehigh is up by 8 over Duke with 56 seconds left...

The damage done to my bracket was worth it to watch Lehigh beat Duke.
