Curious as to how long it took everyone else to fill out their NCAA selections?
Mine took about 3 minutes

The reason why I'm asking is, with all they fauxtrage (faux outrage) over Obama's NCAA selections, you'd think filling out an NCAA tournament bracket required in-depth research and hours of time.

I'm curious if anyone took more than five minutes.

2. Agreed
It seems pretty damned desperate
People who play for fun or in an office pool know he spends minutes on it
Gamblers (who do spend a lot of time and energy) take a long time, but they're playing for money and know he isn't playing for money or using a lot of time

The way the reich and their boy hannity go on, you'd think the five minutes he spent on it prevented the Japanese from saving 100 lives and 60 Americans got were left stranded as a result.

4. And if he didn't mention the tournament

5. If he said he had no time to fill one out because of the situation in Japan
they'd say, "He can't multitask."

8. and they'd call him "elitist"
Just never fails to amaze me the number of people who think no one can ever have any fun anymore.

3. If you know what you're doing, as I think Obama does it should take a few minutes

I just want to find someone who knows what they're doing so I can copy theirs. I'm not a sports fan at all, I'm in it for the prize, no other reason.

It has taken me three days of staring at it and still its not done so for me three days so far. :P

edit: typo as usual

7. I did
but then I don't follow college hoops & past experience filling out brackets, even "just for fun," has taught me to carefully consider who I choose, especially the Cinderella team.

9. dart board + darts
fast way to fill and generally gets equal results to thinking hard about it

11. I'm with you...
Rapid-fire. Start from outside and work inward, no matter who it leads to.
