Good morning and welcome to another edition of Free Agent! No April Fools' jokes today, the Yankees' new bats are enough of a joke on their own. But if you can hit 84 mph on the speedometer* today, do it.
I've got more March Madness for you today, including some NIT thoughts. I also want to talk about NFL kickoffs and, separately, tattoos?
But first, another update on the Reason Friends and Family Bracket Contest. There were 12 games in the men's basketball tournament since our last newsletter. Some guy named Jimmy Kline predicted all 12 correctly, launching himself to the top of the leaderboard. There were also 12 games on the women's side, which were all correctly predicted by me, your humble newsletter writer—but Jimmy Kline got 11 of those 12 right and is tied for the lead with two others. Each contest is coming down to the wire. Good luck!
