Recap (Not for the Faint of Heart)

We may not make SportsCenter's Top Ten Recap, but this isn't cable. Speaking of those who have hit rock bottom and continued to dig....

10. Having apparently tuned to ESPN2 by mistake, Kelly Fitzpatrick thought this was the ESPN Wrestling Championship. Only explanation for her abysmal showing.

9. Todd Bealer is now officially available for organ donation.

8. Dave Young, who keeps a picture of Houdini locking his keys in his car on his desk, glibly noted that "You can't have everything. There isn't that much space in my office for storage anyway."

7. Steve Richards, we reject your challenge. You are no challenge. Seriously.

6. Mark King. Obviously distracted by thoughts of cattle breeding as he made his picks.

5. Traveling at the speed of dark we find longtime reader Allison Pressley mired in 28th place. Allison responds: "If Barbie is so popular, then why do you have to buy her friends?"

4. So deep is his shame that former champion Glenn "The second 'N' is silent" Sharp is considering adding an 'e' to the end of his name.

3. Christie Knapper blames it all on her pregnancy. "When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded."

2. Andrew Hartung was philosophic about his bracket, noting "I think I'll try skydiving next year, because if at first you don't succeed...."

And at the top of our list is the always surprising Jill Green, who has dominated early but is doomed to fail like an Obama cabinet nomination because she picked Oklahoma State to win it all. Proving once again that the problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
