On Tuesday, my wife and I each filled out an NCAA Tournament bracket, "just for fun." At the end of today's first round, I went through quickly and tallied the results.

I was 10-6 on Day One - not great, but not bad, and it won't hurt my later rounds too much because I only picked two of the losing teams - Old Dominion and Gonzaga - to advance for even one more round.

My wife's tally? 15-1. I don't think she's watched a college basketball game since we met more than seven years ago, and the only one she missed was Duke. Yes, she came within 1.8 seconds of having a perfect first day. Tres bizarre.

Fortunately, these things have a way of evening themselves out, so maybe she'll end up 3-13 tomorrow. If she doesn't, I might lose my right to make fun of Bill Simmons for losing a picks competition to his wife.
