Everybody heap praise on badguytony, the winner of the 1st Annual GangsterBB March Madness Bracket Game. Here's a snippet of my interview with him last night...
DB: So BGT, how does it feel to be the winner of the GangsterBB game?
BT: It feels great. I'm more relieved than anything. I had a rough going there at the beginning, but I knew I could count on the strong back of Okefor. Haha. Everybody thought he was injured.
DB: Was there ever a doubt that UConn was going to win?
BT: Not one doubt. I knew they were going to give 150% last night. They took it one game at a time, one minute at a time. Nobody thought they could do it, but they showed a lot of heart and pulled it out.
DB: Any thoughts on the other bracket participants?
BT: First, I want to congratulate Pizzo who finished 2nd. Like me, he had a rough start but his Georgia Tech pick was one helluva pick! He doesn't say much, but he seems like a good guy.
DB: Other thoughts?
BT: Well, I want to congratulate you DB.
DB: Me? Why? I'm a bit disappointed at finishing fifth.
BT: Because you finished higher than PL, of course! I heard somewhere he's the fantasy guru around these parts. Funny though, I heard you beat him in football, baseball, basketball...
DB: Plaw's a good guy. I would never make a list of the fantasy sports games I beat him in. My writing hand would get too tired! :p
BT: Well, other thoughts... For Pork, I just have three words... "Seton Hall" (long pause) "Damn" (shaking head)
DB: Yea, that had me shaking my head also.
BT: As for FS, I'm just happy he didn't quit. I know, I know... I quit in the basketball game too, but at least I made it out of the first week! :p
DB: How about Partagas?
BT: He really had a strong showing at 4th place. He also gave us a lot of insight with those articles he posted up. This leads me to believe that he's a closet bracketologist in his spare time.
DB: Yea, I wonder if he won some money off of any boyscouts...
BT: Yep, I was wondering the same thing. I also want to give out some shout-outs to my boy, Don Marco. He showed he knew more than just Syracuse basketball.
DB: And now comes the basement section of our tour... :rolleyes: :p
BT: Yep, residing in our basement is MC, Crabby, SP, RB, and we already talked about Pork. MC was the pre-tournament favorite. Good thing I didn't put any money on him. I heard he was distracted... something about golf balls and what his club was going to do... I really didn't get all of the conversation. Crabby... well... she's unique! SP and RB, I don't know much about but I bet they'll rebound next year.
DB: Any final thoughts?
BT: I just want to thank everyone for joining the game. Hope to see you next year. And one more thing, "Seton Hall??? Damn!"
