The Week That Was ... Cantilevered

Ya know, like "supporting," as in ... "a bracket." Get it? Ha!

"We frolic because we understand cantilever principles!"

There's only one thing anyone talks about during the third week of March every year, and that's brackets. You get in a lot of conversations with people that know absolutely nothing (they should become ESPN Insiders), which isn't remarkable since you probably talk to people that know nothing all the time, 'cept it's kind of offensive when someone says right into your grill, "Oh yea, Northern Iowa is stacked." Give it up, buddy. You know as much about Northern Iowa as you do about why Nicolas Cage keeps getting movie roles, so shut your yap. Side note: saying "shut your yap" is pretty cool, although admittedly, it would sound cooler coming from Vince Vaughn. Point being: this week, ESPN The Magazine did some supporting of the broader ESPN digital content base with our shtuff. Examples follow.

(1) Michael Young and Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers make a For Love Or The Game video with us.

(2) What do you think is the best basketball movie of all-time?

(3) ESPN The Magazine senior deputy editor Chad Millman is breaking news like whoa.

(4) This is a pretty interesting article about MMA and health concerns.

(5) Want to know some MLB call-ups that could turn into keepers? Read this.

(6) A NCAA Tournament board game.

(7) Here's the new Life of Reilly.

(8) Hm, Jeff Burton was on General Hospital?

(9) What the heck does Drew Carey have to do with international soccer? Oh, behave.

(10) Hey, Lil Wayne's new blog.
