Dumb Ways to Fill Out Your Bracket That Just Might Work: Pick Whoever Has More Wins


In the quest to figure out how exactly to select 10 different brackets on ESPN.com, I decided to come up with a few brackets that were based on principals. The bracket above works on one principal. Simply pick the team with more wins. Yes it's obviously one of the dumbest brackets you could possibly fill out, but in the end I actually like it. You get a few lengthy runs to the sweet 16 by double digit seeds like Cleveland St., North Dakota St., and Utah St. You get a terribly chalky Elite 8 and Final 4. But then you get Memphis, not exactly a big time favorite, winning it all. It's got that balance between ballsy early upset picks, sensible final four picks, and edgy winner pick. It's actually not a bad bracket.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
