Late to the party but for you dippers another marker for oral cancer is chronic alcohol use. As someone who has dipped a can and a half (at least) of Copenhagen daily since I was 12 (now 42) I am aware of all oral cancer scenarios.

I would say three dozen times in my life I was 1000% convinced I had cancer. But then my brother and I got to talking and realized there was no cancer on either side of our family. Seriously, none. So, we figured we were home free.

My Daddy died in November of stomach cancer. Then considering I have drank enough alcohol in the last two years to fill Lake Michigan I am back to paranoia.

Thanks for that health info, Smallie. To be honest, I haven’t been to a health insurance meeting at work for about five years and was living a lie.

You guys that fill out multiple brackets: What’s your strategy? All brackets the same, or multiple brackets with different selections?

I fill out multiple brackets. Most are through restaurants/bars, an auto dealership, a realtor friend, TBL’s, stuff like that. Ones that cost $0 to enter. I spend approximately 30 seconds filling those out and promptly forget about them.

I have two money ones. $5 at work and $20 with friends. I spend almost two minutes filling each of those out and those are the ones I praise or curse.

I fill out 10 or so brackets online on ESPN. I don’t follow college basketball so I follow several strategies:

1. Blind picks from that WSJ bracket picker.
2. Completely guess.
3. Completely guess a little differently.
4. Try to guess a few upsets.
5. It’s very possible that some of my brackets are identical.
6. I have zero clue who is a realistic favorite to win it all.

It’s all opinion, but the second round of the tournament (sat and sun) is the best sports weekend of the year in terms of volume and meaningful games and matchups.

Multiple brackets in money pools pisses me off. So does the dude who fills out 10 brackets and then tells you about how awesome No. 7 was.

No big deal if it’s just a few bucks. But whenever I do CFB pools or bowl pools and people enter multiple times, I wonder how people can mentally do that. I think people think they’re hedging their bets, but I think they’re more likely to spread their good picks across their multiple entries and dilute each of them down so much they can’t win.

Just saw a headline that said, “Catholic Church feels squeeze of priest shortage.” Some headline writer has a sense of humor.

See I don’t care about the upsets though. I get so many people do, but I’ve never cared. I’d rather see the best teams win, therefore getting the best teams to play each other in the Elite 8 and so on. I totally get that I’m in the minority in that regard though.

But in reality, most of the time you still do get the best teams in later rounds. Which is why the whole “picking upsets in your bracket” thing is so overrated. By the time you get down to the Elite Eight, and definitely to the Final Four, it’s almost always among the top 2-3 seeds in a region.

But the tournament is fantastic. It’s just not my version of the best weekend.

I enjoy the NCAA tournament as well but I’d take any CFB weekend over it. Football from 12-12, gambling, plus CFB >>>> NCAA BB
