Let the Madness begin

The top seeds have been selected, the snubs have been banished and the field of 65 is set. Problem is, the games don’t start until Thursday. What do we do until then?

Well, aside from getting your story straight for when you call off work Thursday, you’ve got a lot of reading to do before you can intelligently fill out your brackets. Check out Bullz-Eye.com’s Bracket Breakdown for a complete rundown of the tournament, region-by-region, and then take a look at Bullz-Eye’s Tourney Countdown, which analyzes some of the players, coaches and teams you need to keep an eye on this month.

And when you’re done reading all that, you might as well work on your excuse for when you call off work Friday too. Hey, it’s also St. Patrick’s Day!

Edge now a Cardinal

Edgerrin James wasted no time in free agency, signing a four-year, $30 M contract with the Arizona Cardinals.

“It’s a great situation. All they really need is a back,” James said at a news conference. “They’ve got an MVP quarterback (Kurt Warner), they’ve got two Pro Bowl receivers. They got a back and they’re going to shore up the offensive line.”

Then he added, “OK it’s a risk. But hey, I’m a poker player. You can take it to the river. I’m not scared to make a change. I’m not scared to go out on a limb and try something different.”

This signing continues Denny Green’s makeover of the Arizona offense. He now has the great back to go with his two talented wide receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. It’s unclear whether or not the Colts intend to go with Dominic Rhodes as their starter or if they have another guy in mind.
