Semi-Famous People's Office Pool

Final Four, here we come.

We may need his help.

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

Phew, did the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight shake these standings up, or what? Torii Hunter dropped from the top to the bottom, and Eddie George climbed from second-last to second overall. That's why we play, folks. So that we can spend an afternoon thinking about the office hijinks that would ensue if these people actually worked together. It would probably look a little like this.

(1) Mo Williams (89) [Ed.'s note: Mo's bracket = still no problems]

(2) Eddie George (88) [Ed's Note: Vintage George, running over the competition.]

(3) Fred McGriff (86) [Ed.'s Note: Crime Dawg solved the mystery of the Elite Eight.]

(4) Newt Gingrich (84) [Ed.'s Note: Newt is suddenly everywhere.]

(4) Jerry Tarkanian (84) [Ed.'s note: What are the odds he employs 'extra benefits' to help him win?]

(6) Cliff Lee (82) [Ed.'s Note: We hear he's good at comebacks ... Still plenty of time left to win.]

(7) Samuel L. Jackson (80) [Ed.'s Note: Dude might need some help from a bracket Yoda.]

(8) Brian Cashman (79) [Ed's Note: Looking forward to April 6, but for a very different reason.]

(9) Joe Mantegna (77) [Ed.'s note: Fat Tony is gonna need help from Legs and Louie to win this pool.]

(9) Tommy Lasorda (77) [Ed.'s Note: Being a member of the "Order of the Rising Sun" has had little effect on his bracket.]

(11) Barack Obama (75) [Ed.'s Note: It's been a rough week for the Prez.]

(11) Torii Hunter (75) [Ed.'s Note: Did not bring his "A" game.]

(13) Lil Wayne (74) [Ed.'s Note: His bracket is making him ill, not sick.]
