Bar Down Dandy March Madness Round 1(Bracket 1)
Posted on 8:05 AM by Unknown
Today is Selection Sunday. Tuesday the opening four games start. Thursday the whole sha-bang begins. We decided to get you ready for the tournament by creating four brackets deciding who the best players are in our standards, culminating in a final four. That is, swagger, skills, ESPN under hype and greatness. We selected the 16 best players from each of the four major sports and put them into a bracket and determined them by these four attributes. Each will be graded on a ten point scale.
Swagger:
The way in which the individual holds themselves, dresses, acts in public, celebrates and simply swags it up. 10 being the owner of the swagger supermarket, 1 being the bag boy.
Skills:
How damn good they are. 10 being god of skills and 1 means I don't understand why he's a professional athlete.
ESPN Underhype:
How much air time this individual DOESN'T get on ESPN even though they clearly deserve it. A 10, means you are still sorely underrated(I corrected it for hockey, cause we all know no one talks about hockey), even if you are considered a "superstar." 1 means you're probably somewhere between Brett Favre, Danica Patrick and Freddy Adu.
Greatness Factor:
The killer instinct. How this player translate their skills into greatness. 10 is MJ, 1 is Ryan Leaf.
