Friday Fun - March Madness -- In case you weren't aware of it, there is a major sport tournament that occurs every March. Like many sports, it's usually fast-paced, with exciting action (209Kb Realmedia .rm download) and outcomes determined in spurts of activity (366Kb Realmedia .rm download) measured in seconds rather than minutes. Sometimes, however, a slow-down approach is taken, as in this marathon 7 minute battle (11.8Mb Realmedia .rm download) -- no wimpy shot clock here -- definitely a case of unstoppable force and immovable object. More excerpts from the 15-day tournament can be found here.
[Later: By the way, if this pure version of one-on-one sport is not your cup of tea, you might look forward to this new cable channel. I don't.]
