For college basketball fans, it’s the week that matters.  When office workers everywhere stop pretending to do work when filling out their brackets and start pretending to do work while sneaking in a mini-TV to hide under their desks so they don’t miss a minute of CBS’s coverage.

This is one benefit of the switch to digital TV, that you won’t find as many portable TV sets hiding at the office as you used to — but there’s always the Internet, so as long as your network administrator hasn’t blocked access to the streaming video websites, you should be good.

So a few weeks ago, Web Watch shared some TIPS FOR FILLING OUT YOUR 2011 BASKETBALL BRACKET.  Since then, some additional information has come out that we thought we’d share with you.

The WALL STREET JOURNAL has reported that the CAROLINA PANTHERS WERE THE LEAST EXCITING TEAM IN THE NFL this season.

Can’t say that we disagree, considering that would be one explanation of how the Panthers “earned” their number one draft pick in the next NFL draft.

Ever wonder what professional sports cheerleaders do in their real lives?

Because they certainly can’t make a living on PROFESSIONAL CHEERLEADING alone, making from $50-$100 per game each season, you’re going to need something else to fall back on to support yourself. 

Like a “real” job.

Carolina Panthers Football Jersey - Steve Smith
Carolina Panthers Football Jersey – Steve Smith

If you’re a REAL football fan, you have at least one jersey in your closet to wear on game day.

At least one, because you have to have one of each team color – and perhaps some older jerseys of players you no longer care to support because the quit the team or were traded to the enemy.  God forbid that you go to a game wearing a jersey for a team that isn’t even playing that day…

Suffice it to say, there are a lot of RULES REGARDING THE RIGHT AND WRONG WAY TO WEAR A FOOTBALL JERSEY, thanks to our friend Josh.  Since it’s in the middle of football season right now, why not have a little refresher?  Here are three of the rules Josh pulled together — and he’s dead-on with his other observations.

Full Body Spandex Suit - Morph Suit
Full-body Spandex Morphsuit (pick your color)

So the other day, Web Watch was participating in the monthly WOOT-OFF when we saw them talking about the ROOT SUIT

We know you’ve seen the ROOT SUIT on TV this football season — it’s been featured gameday wear for any number of collegiate and NFL football fans eager to get on TV but without having to show their face.

There are other versions and names out there: the MORPH SUIT,  Zentai, a full-body spandex suit, the lycra outfit, the Spiderman getup.  And they’re all the same basic thing — a costume that you can hide in public in.
