Simple question: Yes or No.  Period.  That's it.  Nothing else to say.

Let's see how far the poll can get before the morons screw things up with their comments.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Of course.

Trump is good TV, and ESPN is a TV network.

I wouldn't watch it ... but I didn't watch Obama's, either. I find such stuff to be vapid and dopey, kind of like sideline reporters. Plenty of others would watch it, however.

Obama gave MU a lot of love in his brackets from what I remembered usually had us in the sweet 16. I always thought it was cool to see a president giving an MU Hoops shout out

Yes, for two reasons:

1. Trump is a sports guy

2.  It would be pretty funny tv

Yes, because POTUS already has the best bracket an amazing bracket. his bracket, which is already filled out by the way, is the best it is totally going to win it is the best winner everybody is saying so. His bracket is way better than any bracket Crooked Hillary will fill out. Sad!

Kind of a silly question.

No

Barack Obama was a basketball guy.

To my knowledge, Donald Trump is not.

Case closed. Unless I am wrong.

If light hearted jabs are political posts, then it took 1 minute and 36 seconds, as the first response was essentially the exact same thing as GWSwarrior and my responses.

I agree with this. Maybe something tied with the US Open due to Trump's love of golf.

Frankly, I don't really care since I think it's a bit out of place. I think the Presidential interview before the Super Bowl is out of place too, which it sounds like they are continuing.

That probably more the President using the Super Bowl for its audience than the other way around.

Any picks that the media says are wrong are clearly the product of fake news. Alternative facts will determine the NCAA champ!

Sure why not.  Haha.   If you are too offended by the idea of Trump picking teams, well, it is going to be a long few years for you.  It is a stupid lighthearted little bit.  It was with Obama, it would be with Trump.  Not exactly defining the future of the world with the round of 32 picks.

Is it a coincidence if his bracket is identical to Putin's?
