FRANK’S COLUMN March Madness
As you can see from the article inside, working since I was 16 has taught me a lot, and I know a lot of you are the same way. But I’m not going to mention any of that here. Why? Besides St. Patrick’s Day, the best thing about March is right around the corner — March Madness, where we get to hear over and over that the economy loses $47 million dollars per second in productivity because people are constantly checking scores, updating their bracket, sneaking off to watch games, and drinking beer during the work day (or maybe that’s St. Paddy’s Day … ) and all of a sudden, some school in the Midwest they’ve never heard of before is all they can talk about. Leaving aside the fact that the NCAA tournament makes billions for schools, coaches, networks, sponsors — everyone but the players, who can’t even profit off of their own likeness — it is the best- hyped sporting event that always delivers. The format — one loss and you’re done — is genius, with David vs. Goliath seeding and constant games the first weekend (16 per day baby!). I love a good upset, don’t you? Just like in our cases and in life, sometimes it’s not a fair fight. Sometimes you just have to hang in there while the other side goes on a run. Call a time out. Draw up a good play and go for it!
