Culture bracket is a ‘wonder’
We figured out why you love March so much. It’s not the basketball, it’s the brackets. We’ve come up with the ultimate sports and pop culture bracket. Sure, it’s a bit random, but it’s also a bit awesome. Here’s a breakdown of some key matchups:

PHILS CREAM OF CITY’S CROP
After spending a few days in the happy world of the most successful sports franchise in Philadelphia, I can’t shake one impression: The Eagles would be so much more enlightened if they studied the style and substance of the Phillies.

Think hard on fighting in the NHL
