To those of us outside the US what the heck actually is March Madness?

It’s the college tournament. It is hugely popular with fans filling out brackets of the selected 68 teams to predict who will win. It’s a massive event
It's where, instead of the usual madness of the US, we amp it up even more for the month of March. :)

I’m not sure I could take a sporting event seriously from a country where the most popular pastime involves neither feet nor a spherical object 😉
This is an article about college basketball. Basketballs are spherical objects. They also try to get that spherical object through a circular object. This means there are more circles and spheres than in football/soccer. Also, last time I checked all the players run on and jump with their feet. So you are covered in your love of feet and spherical objects if you watch basketball.

I was here, in Michigan, with the other 105,490 fans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NHL_Winter_Classic
I'm JK. Hockey is a tough sport. It's just not one i grew up with so I don't really watch.

Same here.

I don't work in that environment anymore, but I always enjoyed the camaraderie around being in an office pool with a bunch of coworkers.

Starting tomorrow there are games all day for four days straight. Gotta love it!
I enjoy it. At the hospital I'm at, every unit/department is doing a bracket.
