This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The goal of March Madness is clearly to provide... by Kbyrnes

...an entertaining tournament for spectators and, in my opinion, a different kind of competition for the players than the regular season represents. I believe our difference on this, to the extent it's at all material, comes down to "What's it all about?"

I respect your concept, which I take to be to find out who is really the best team in the country as best we can. I just don't buy into it quite that much. For me, the current system's a matter of a lot of teams playing, some of them getting into the postseason, and one team making it to the end. If it's not ND, I don't have much invested in the idea that the "real" best team didn't win it all.

I feel like this might be drifting into "perspective post" territory, but instead I'd propose that my approach is just another way to enjoy sports. And I'm not really trying to argue or convince you you're wrong, because then I'd have to maintain that I'm right with more conviction about it than I actually have.
