March Madness.
Most of the time, that's used to refer to college hoops and the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Of course, these days you could make the argument that the Sixers, who last night lost franchise-record setting 21st game in a row - are perfecting their own version of March Madness.
Actually, I've always wondered just how much all that talk of "brackets" costs business in terms of wasted hours in the workplace.
I've always wondered if offices shouldn't just set aside one hour and tell their workers to use that hour - but only that hour - to fill out their brackets.
I've also always wondered just how much money changes hands during the NCAA tourney.
Much like the NFL, it is the reason no one ever talks about when it comes to their popularity. It's the perfect venue for gambling. Not quite as good as football, but it's close. I always joke that on the seventh day, God actually didn't rest. Instead he decided to create the perfect venue for gambling, and thus invented football.
So go ahead, folks, fill out those brackets.

Fill out a perfect bracket and you could pocket a million bucks.
I'm not going to hold my breath.
