Sports contests

I entered the Post Newspapers NCAA basketball tourney bracket challenge again this year. I finished at the 68th percentile among over 134,000 entries. That's not great but it was better than all but one of the 13 "experts" at CBSSports.com. I did better than Barack Obama on every round through the Final Four, but he beat me overall.  I had two of the Final Four correct versus his one. He picked one of the final two teams and the champion -- North Carolina. Correct picks in later rounds count more.

Surprising teams were South Carolina, a #11 seed that made it to the Final Four, and Xavier, another  #11 seed that made it to the Elite Eight.

I'm playing Fantasy Baseball again this year. It's a long season.
