SMQB Madness: Bracket Upsets and the Fight for the Seventh Amendment
It was a table for two this week as Bison and House held down the fort while the rest of the crew was out chasing “madness magic.” We’re diving deep into an absolute instant classic of a weekend in college hoops. Bison gives us the inside scoop on the atmosphere at the Duke vs. UConn game—from the “obnoxious” fans to the moment everyone realized the game was far from over. If you missed the Brailen Mullins shot or the mental chess match between Dan Hurley and John Scheyer, you’ll want to hear House and Bison break down why this might be a top-three all-time NCAA moment.
But it wasn’t all just brackets and buzzer-beaters. We took a trip to the bar to honor 109-year-old veteran Arthur Green, who’s still out here throwing opening day pitches for the Orioles like a pro. On the flip side, we had some serious “punches” to hand out. Between Dan Hurley’s “psycho” sideline behavior (including a literal headbutt to a ref) and a massive Opening Day broadcast fail that left Nationals fans staring at blank screens, there was plenty of venting to go around.
The legal corner also heated up as we analyzed the major blow dealt to the NFL regarding the Brian Flores racial discrimination lawsuit. We’re talking about the “NFL Constitution,” forced arbitration, and why the Second Circuit just handed the league a massive headache that could end up at the Supreme Court. Plus, we’ve got a “Lasso” story involving Gary Woodland’s incredible comeback from brain surgery that’ll remind you why we love sports in the first place.
