It's Madness, Baby!

This strikes me as an incredibly stupid caption for the lead article on espn.com:

Duke's worst nightmare? Monmouth's wildest dream? On the eve of the first round, Pat Forde has the best and worst scenarios for all 64 teams.


I would assume that the best scenario for all 64 teams would be to win the tournament, whereas the worst case scenario for all 64 teams would be to lose in the first round. If anyone reads the article and finds out differently, please let me know. thanks.

Welcome

Welcome to the penalty box!! The goal of this blog will be to hold sportswriters accountable for the garbage they print everyday and expose them as the no-nothings they truly are. While sports journalism has never attracted America's best and brightest, it seems as though writers today are focused more on making wild, outlandish statements without factual backing than providing insightful analysis. And yet nobody seems to call them on it...well that ends today

While no one will be immune from the penalty box (except maybe Lupica), im sure certain writers will spend more time in the pb than others (like Skip Bayless, Jason Whitlock and Scoop Jackson)
