Everyone In the Pool!
Rick Reilly
March 21, 2005
Except for Rick Neuheisel's NCAA tournament pool--put in $6,400, take home $4.5 million--most office pools are duller than slides of Dick Cheney's angioplasties.
25. at some point during the game you went into your lame Dick Vitale impression.
26. you beat a team with a lower party-school ranking.
27. you beat a team John Feinstein wrote a book about.
28. you beat a school with so little chance, it wasn't even on the NCAA's academic-probation list.
29. you beat Fairleigh Dickinson.
30. you are Fairleigh Dickinson.
31. your coach is wearing the Sears Johnny Miller Collection.
32. you beat a team that has an actual living, breathing senior starter on it.
33. you beat a team with a hyphen.
34. you beat a team whose point guard is slower than Maurice Clarett.
