Does anyone laugh when Joe Linardi (I think thats how you spell it) starts to talk about basketball on air? I feel like he doesn't have an athletic bone in his body.

I laugh when he changes his bracket 25 minutes before the selection show starts and see a team or two fall out

Are you implying he's fed the selections?

I was implying it there.  But I'll downright say it, he is fed the selections.  The Huggs year, he had K-State in after the last games were played then out 30 minutes prior to the bracket release.  Nothing had changed.

Although kinda cool bit about the bracket show, apparently they will be revealing exactly where each team was ranked going into seeding.  Thats new and potentially interesting to some people.

Are you implying there's a doubt he's fed the selections?

He missed a #1 seed last year, that's embarrassing for someone who does this for a living.  There is a website that ranks historical bracket predictions from websites and blogs and he ranked in the 40s.  What incentive would the committee have feeding him when ESPN has no media rights to the tournament?  Wouldn't it make more sense for them to feed Jerry Palm?

The committee doesn't work for CBS.  I'm not commenting on his seeding, just the teams in or out.  When his brackets have changed between all the games being played and the announcement consistently and they reflect where he included wrong teams, thats probably more than a coincidence.  I just think he has had a friend or friends on the committee.

That first sentence doesn't make sense to me.  Anyone who does what he does for a living should be able to get within a couple of having a perfect bracket.  Him being fed teams when the process is so secretive screams crazy conspiracy theory to me.  There's no incentive for anyone to give him the info.  Also I don't know how he could be close enough to an AD where they would want to share with him.  He readily admits he doesn't attend games he is a numbers and trends cruncher.

I just don't know why he has changed his bracket after all the games were played, 30 minutes prior to announcements and then those changes happened to be correct.  Why does anybody insidery in sports leak any info?  Mostly, I'd guess its an ego thing.  It happens though and I think it happens here.  And my first sentence was in response to you saying they would leak it to CBS.  I don't think the whole commitee is leaking it, but one or two guys in the room are and they would want to do it to the biggest name they could, ESPN.  As individuals, they have no incentive to leak it to CBS.

This show is rough...they have no organization.  Should never have had Charles rough ridin' Barkley on there.

The idea is great, the execution is horrible.  Need to have CBS in an Indianapolis studio with these guys, and limit the analysts to Gumble and one or two others.

The beauty of this show is seeing who the last team was.

Right on cue, Iona.

They need the CBS first teamers to keep asking the questions, and tell Charles to STFU.

Yeah. Loved their looks during the awkward pauses when they were all "that's not a delay problem. You just seem incapable of forming a question from the talking points on your cheat sheet." and then chuck responded with another non-inquisitive type statement.
