March Manness 2012

As you probably know, I love sports. Despite my best efforts, however, I cannot get into basketball - collegiate or NBA. So, every year around this time, I fill out a March Madness bracket, in hopes that I'll pay attention to the tournament and feel invested in some teams. I never do.

Last year, I decided to have some fun with a blank March Madness template. I've decided to do it again, but this time, YOU make the choices.

I bring you - The Second Annual March Manness Tournament.

I tried to choose universally appealing (or at least popular) male celebrities. I also tried to include actors (movie and television), musicians, and athletes. You'll be relieved to find that none of my major obsessions made the bracket (except for Tebow and Phelps). This means no hockey players, no politicians, and no goofy, tall guys. Unfortunately, it means Justin Bieber, Bradley Cooper, and Patrick Dempsey.

So, here's the plan. You fill out your bracket. I'm sorry I can't make it any bigger on my blog, but there is much bigger one on my Facebook. You can print it, then take a picture of it and send it to me. You can post it on your own blog. You can even just tell me who wins each stage in an e-mail, tweet, comment, or facebook message. I'll fill out the bracket for you!

On Monday, I will post all the brackets I've received (and my own) and we'll see if there is a clear winner!

Let's take objectifying men to the next level. Good luck!
