ESPN NBA

I'm duking it out against Sun Ming Ming, Calvin Booth, and others in Dan Steinberg's celebrity NCAA pool. Should be fun. My friend Ben Weber, who was Skippy on Sex and the City, is sometimes a Geico Caveman, and also makes these great super short films, is also in on the action.



If I beat any one of the three contestants mentioned here, I'm declaring victory. For the record, I am of the opinion that to win one of these things it is no good picking a favorite. Let's face it. If Ohio State wins the tournament, and you pick Ohio State, the only chance you have of victory is getting every single other game right. The odds are LOOOOOOOONG. That's just dumb luck. No chance. But if you pick an outsider, or better yet, a theme, and your theme becomes reality, against not quite as long odds, well then you're a genius. My theme? Teams with the word "Texas" in the title are about to get wicked hot... Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M... I'm on your side.
