This is Ed L. He spent some of his winnings from last year on a new Doo.
We at the Extravaganza, enduring it's 26th year, do not feel our usual joy and anticipation for this year's tournament. This is partly due to the incompetence of Lorenzo Romar, coach of the University of Washington Huskies who under his stellar leadership are missing out on March Madness for the 5th straight season.
But mostly our depression is attributable to the presence in the 'Ganza field of that damn Ed L., last year's Extravaganza Champion. Ed has won this pool 3 times in the past 9 years and if you count the year he picked for his daughter Lisa L., it's 4 times in 12 years, a record unsurpassed in Extravaganza history.
So, you see there's very little reason for any of us to be excited. Ed L. may very well win again and even if he doesn't it's only a matter of time.
The question for us is, what should we do about this horrifying turn of events? Should we all work together in some "Anybody But Ed!" effort, conspiring to keep this man from besting us again? Should we find some arcane rule in the 'Ganza by laws enabling us to wrest the title away from him and award it to someone else of The Extravaganza Committee's choosing?
Or perhaps we should all just stop being whiny diaper babies and do what Ed has done:
Retire and spend all of his free time watching basketball.
As always the entry fee is $50. Get your picks in by 9pm PDT on Wednesday the 16th.
