Well, they're set. The four remaining teams in NCAA March Madness: Duke and, er.. three other teams. Just kidding. Congratulations to Butler, Michigan State and West Virginia. Great job. You've got the sports world in a turmoil. You ruined everyone's bracket. You took office workers' chance of winning money, prizes or maybe time off. These worker ants mill around in their mundane existence day after day, trolling for any fun they can get. Every March brings the office pool for the tournament. Most of them wouldn't know a basketball from a buckeye, much less a Spartan from a Mountaineer, but they cling to the chance to have 3 minutes of fame and a $47 kitty. Oh well, back inside your cubicle, Edgar, because Syracuse and Kansas State are out. The final question: will anyone watch? History says no. We say we love underdogs and great stories in sports, but ratings research shows the talk doesn't translate to the tube. So who is this year's biggest loser? Edgar, you and your cubicle mate can rest easy because the ones really crying... CBS.
