The Oracle has spoken.

Wait a sec. What's "The Semi-Famous People's Office Pool?"

We were right about Jerry Tarkanian being a ringer. Scott Boras, on the other hand, stunk. Jeff Foxworthy (thankfullly) never completed his bracket and fell out of contention altogether ("you may be a redneck if…"). We'd like to think if these people actually worked together, they'd be a lot like us: well-informed, utterly excitable, obsessed with 80's rap, and totally passive agressive. Here's to the next round, buddy.

(1) Mo Williams (53) [Ed.'s note: Mo bracket = no problems]

(2) Jerry Tarkanian (52) [Ed.'s note: No doubt taking bets for Pete Rose.]

(2) Samuel L. Jackson (52) [Ed.'s Note: Villanova on a plane.]

(4) Torri Hunter (51) [Ed.'s Note: Has never said more than four words to Vladimir at a time.]

(5) Fred McGriff (50) [Ed.'s Note: Crime-dawg.]

(5) Cliff Lee (50) [Ed.'s Note: Phif-dawg ]

(5) Tony Hawk (50) [Ed.'s Note: Shred-dawg.]

(8) Joe Mantegna (49) [Ed.'s note: Stop wearing makeup in interviews.]

(9) Newt Gingrich (48) [Ed.'s Note: Rahm Emanuel, Ben Bernake, and Newt Gingrich walk into a bar...]

(10) Barack Obama (47) [Ed.'s Note: Has bigger fish to fry]

(10) Brian Cashman (47) [Ed's Note: Also has bigger fish to fry.]

(12) Lil Wayne (46) [Ed.'s Note: Shouldn't have gotten bracket tattoo'd on your stomach.]

(13) Tommy Lasorda (45) [Ed.'s Note: So, you and Sadaharu Oh are pretty tight, huh?]

(13) Scott Boras (45) [Ed.'s Note: You gonna shaft the Nationals on this Stephen Strasburg contract or what?]

(15) Eddie George (44) [Ed's Note: Still don't trust a guy with two first names.]
