My bracket is shot. I know we’ve all been hearing that a lot lately, but I managed to keep hope alive until the current round. In my office pool, I’m tied for 34th in a pool of probably 50 brackets. So someone else in my office is going to win the money. That seems to be happening a lot to me lately. My coworker is on Jeopardy this week and has won twice already. She should buy us all drinks. If you were busy waiting in line for The Hunger Games this week, odds are you missed it.
The dangers of sweatshirts
Television show host and arbiter of the moustache Geraldo Rivera said this week that hoodies can get you killed. It was fashion that got Florida teen Trayvon Martin killed, not the paranoid and possibly racist neighborhood watch captain who shot him. A hoodie makes minority teens look like gangsters, and thus, a threat. Of course, if you’re white and you wear a hoodie, you just look like a college kid.
Pain in the neck
This week, the Denver Broncos signed Peyton Manning and traded Tim Tebow to the New York Jets. I’m sure Tebow is upset with the trade, but he will be good at playing the martyr. Though Denver wasn’t at the top of Manning’s list at first, John Elway talked him into it. You know how those horse-looking quarterbacks always stick together.
H20: The silent killer
Weeks ago, singer Whitney Houston died in a hotel bathroom. Coroners have finally told us that it was an accidental drowning. The tragic happening was helped by a heart condition and some cocaine in her system. She also had marijuana, Xanax, muscle relaxers and Benadryl in her system, but these didn’t contribute to her death. You know what did? Water. This is exactly why I don’t think it, and avoid it at parties.
