Brooklyn Decker, with a nudge from her Sports Illustrated friends (and some folks who definitely don’t visit here regularly) pulled away from Conan O’Brien in the second half to capture the 2010 Culture Tournament title. Congrats are in order to Mrs. Decker. So why the heck is PTI’s statboy, Tony Reali, pictured in this post?

Both Tiger Woods entries lost in the Final Four, setting up a title match between 14th seeded Brooklyn Decker and 2nd seeded Conan O’Brien. Who knew Conan had this rabid a fan base?

Posted March 23, 2010, 2:15 pm by (81 Comments)

In a mild upset last night, 14th-seeded Brooklyn Decker eliminated 2nd-seeded Erin Andrews. What hurt Andrews was her challenging 2nd round matchup with Cheryl Cole. Just didn’t have the legs to rally again late. We round out the Sweet 16 today and the Elite 8 Matchups will be Thursday. The Final Four is set for [...]
