    Am I the only one bracketless?

    Am I the only person in the country NOT filling out a NCAA basketball tournament bracket? All I hear on the radio is how business will grind to a halt on Monday as EVERYONE fills out their brackets--even grandmas and dead people.

      I was bracketless once and had to delay installation. So, I picked up some.

        Don't participate and never have. My former employer did not allow it and cracked down on the the Baseball pools after an emploiyee ran off with 10k from a World Series Pool she set up. I miust be old school but the work place is not the place for this kind of stuff. Won't go to my feeling about NCAA sports in general. I do watch the finals though.

          We'll have a bracket set up at work, just for bragging rights and to give us something to argue about though. It's always funny that I do just as well with WAGs as the guys who really follow the sport.

            I have had this argument with my boss recently. Work is FOR WORK. I do the stuff it takes to get done, so I can get the heck out of there and do my fun stuff. It isn't for horsing around.

            I am NOT a sports fan. Doesn't mean I don't listen to those that are or the athletes themselves.

              I've been trying out a keyhole cutter and french cleats, I found they aren't as intrusive as brackets.

              I've never tried to hang a basketball tournament with them though.

                If I hear another sports/news caster refer to "the big dance" I think I'll puke. Not sure how that came about, but everyone sure calls it that now.
                Never have been interested in basketball, so have never filled out bracket form.

                  This dead guy won't be filling one out.
