Not trying to sound like Clark Howard, but if you're going to enter only one NCAA pool this year, you should make it the one that's paying $1,000,000,000 for a perfect submission. (That's be the Quicken Loans Bracket Challenge, as backed by Warren Buffett.) But if you're up for entering another, might I suggest Bradley's Bracket Fiasco, which offers some fairly fabulous prizes its ownself?

In addition to the traditional Final Four sweatshirt, our winner will receive -- courtesy of Verizon, our sponsor -- a Samsung Galaxy S4 smart phone and accessories valued at $950. Plus you'll also be entered in the national upickem contest, the first prize for which is $1,000,000. (Not $1 billion, granted, but still not bad.)

The Fiasco, about to embark on its 27th excursion, is pretty easy to enter -- click here to pre-register -- and will be fully operational Sunday night. By then you'll have my selections as a guide to what not to pick. And a good time, for the 27th consecutive March, will be had by all.

He died after being restrained by Tift County sheriff's deputies on April 24, 2019. His ex-wife witnessed the arrest and said she thought the deputies were being rough but did not imagine that McBrayer would die. (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
