Comercials are bad enough, but having to suffer through the last minute of these games can become unbearable. These NCAA games that is, but it has been even worse this year due to the lack of excitement in the first couple of rounds. Two legitimate upsets is all we got, not to forget that VCU and Winthrop were somewhat bandwagon upstarts. We still got to witness Duke falter in the first round, which is always fun as the media homers seethe on the set.

The comercials though have gotten rather bad, espcially when watching courtesy of Direct TV's tournament package. They do allow you to watch all the games, but then air four seperate comercial breaks; at the same TIME! How can they do that? Isn't that grounds for breach of contract? Simulatneous comercial breaks are a travesty that should not go unpunished. That being said, people are still going to pay for it and it will be broadcast at any business with the sports fan in mind.

So I propose to all those people out there who are deterred by this phenomena to adjust to the predicament. Gamble on which comercials will be shown or turn it into a drinking game. That would be the only logical alternative to the lame comments that you pull out of your Mystery Science Theatre 3000 library of quotes. What are you going to do? In the words of the late Mitch Hedberg: "Make oatmeal."
