Are the folks (like me) who picked all four No. 1 seeds to make the Final Four ingenious, or simply lucky?
Admittedly, I take myself out of the running for the “ingenious” category. As I said when I first offered my pick ‘ems, I did not follow all teams as closely...

Growing up in the D.C. Metropolitan-area, the main lingering memory I have of C-Webb is when the Washington Bullets mistakingly traded him to Sacramento for Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe, instead of Juwan Howard. No disrespect to Howard, who had his best NBA years in D.C., but C-Webb...

Years ago, in 2003, Terrelll Suggs was taught a lesson in humility at the NFL Draft Combine. Despite having set the NCAA record for sacks in a season, 24, during his junior year at Arizona State University, his 40-yard-dash time at the combine had many “draft experts” doubting...
