Brad Pitt

The most (well, one of the most) amazing moments in sports history relating to the score tracker on the top left (or right on some channels) corner of the television screen came in 2006 during the NCAA Tournament. This monumental score tracker moment occurred the same year that #16 seed U of Albany almost (had an 11 pt lead at half) upset UCONN (U-Can't) in the 1st round. This would have (and should have) been the 1st #16 win in NCAA Tournament history. That's not the point of this story though. The point is, in fact, that in round 2, 3 or maybe 4, Bradley played Pittsburgh. Funny, huh? It gets better. The score tracker on the top left (or right on some channels) corner of the television displayed BRAD above PITT. Who cares what the score was or who won?! Brad Pitt became an overnight NCAA Basketball sensation due to this sillyness. Never again, to my knowledge, has a team played another team and together their abbreviated names on the score tracker made up a real person, let alone someone with the star-studded celebriance (it's not a word, i know, but it fits) to the likes of Brad Pitt. Sure, Tom could play Cruise. But Tom and Cruise are not abbreviations for NCAA Tournament hopefuls. Think about it. I assume if Archbishop Ryan High School (abbreviated "Ryan") played Howard University in Virginia (I think that's where it is) that would mean Ryan vs. Howard. But I highly doubt that Howard could fit into the score tracker unless they made the font really small, which would make it look weird. It'd be more like Ryan vs. How, and that's just not funny. Not to mention, people outside of the Philadelphia area probably have no idea what Archbishop Ryan is (it's a lame Catholic high school that charges way too much for tuition). Also, they'd probably never get invited to the NCAA Tournament, hence NCAA, not High School. Also, Howard, no offense, is not good at basketball. They, too, will probably never play in the tournament. Brad Pitt, you are the man! Good luck to Bradley and Pittsburgh this year. I hope you two meet in the NCAA Tournament again in the near future, purely for comedic enjoyment.
