While most of the country watched a bunch of nerds pick which college basketball teams would be invited to the dance, us real Patriots watched one of the more insane NASCAR races that I can remember. 
That’s not hyperbole, either. Now, you may have hated what you saw yesterday at Bristol. Despised it. You’re spending all day today bitching and moaning about it. 
But even you can’t tell me it wasn’t mesmerizing. Tires blowing to pieces 50 laps into a run, marbles flying into the stands, Goodyear execs panicking in suits. It was chaos. 
Pure, raw, beautiful chaos.

Here’s the case for 10 contenders to win the men’s NCAA tournament and be crowned champions. But the closer you look at the teams, the shorter the list gets.

Who doesn’t need this in their life?
The only thing Gradey Dick seems to enjoy more than playing basketball is having the last name “Dick.” On Sunday night he teamed up with Anthony Black of the Magic to prove that it’s not the size of the jersey that matters, but how you use it.

Creighton Blue Jays head coach Greg McDermott saw the March Madness field get unveiled yesterday and immediately noticed something was off.
It had nothing to do with how his team was seeded. Even after losing in the Big East quarterfinals to Providence, the Blue Jays landed a No. 3 seed in the Midwest region and have a favorable path to make a Final Four run (because we all know Tennessee and Purdue will find a way to choke before they get there).
McDermott was actually surprised at the teams that didn’t make the field, specifically, Big East teams.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker wants to see better fathers and male role models.
Butker spoke with EWTN News about the horrific Super Bowl parade shooting that left an innocent woman dead. Does Butker think America simply needs more gun laws? That’s what many on the left constantly preach, but he rejects the notion firearms are the issue.
Instead, the NFL player believes better male role models and fathers are the answer to “degenerate violence” we see far too often in this country.

After the San Antonio Spurs’ win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night, coach Gregg Popovich and star rookie Victor Wembanyama both said their team will play in France next season.
The NBA has played three regular-season games in France since 2020 but hasn’t announced which teams will play there next season. Despite nothing being official, it’s expected that the Spurs will be one of those teams given the fact that Wembanyama was born in Le Chesnay, France, a suburb of Paris.

While 28-6 Indiana State being completely left out of the NCAA Tournament was the shocker of Selection Sunday, perhaps the second-most egregious move involved Boise State being given a No. 10 seed to play in the First Four.
The Broncos put together a 22-10 campaign, but fell to New Mexico in their opening game of the Mountain West Conference Tournament. While that loss certainly didn’t help Boise’s cause, many believed it was still comfortably into the NCAA Tournament, but the committee clearly had a different point of view.

The Baltimore Ravens all but signaled the end of Odell Beckham Jr.’s tenure with the club when they released the veteran wide receiver with a post-June 1 designation last Wednesday. 
But Beckham confirmed he won’t be returning to the Ravens next season, penning a goodbye message to teammates and fans on Instagram. 
“Swea on everything I appreciate the Flock more than yall could EVER imagine. Did everything I could wit the opportunities I had. Wish I got to do it big for yall 💍. Thank you for the Vibez! To the City of Baltimore I fxck wit yall forever FRRRR.

“Hey, is this heaven?,” Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson asks in the “Field of Dreams” movie as he leaves the baseball diamond.
“No,” the farmer played by Kevin Costner says. “It’s Iowa.”
“Is this a drug?,” Long Beach State men’s basketball coach Dan Monson’s wife Darci asked him Sunday night after he guided his team to an NCAA Tournament bracket for the first time since 2012.
No, it’s the NCAA Tournament.
