March Mad Men, Because Mad Men And March Madness Had To Come Together Sometime

Written by Brandon Stroud / 03.15.13

Until somebody edits together a bunch of ‘Games Of Thrones’ characters discussing the college football playoff debate, here’s the best-ever instance of dramatic television characters being “sweet canned” into talking about sports: March Mad Men. Virginia Commonwealth University and 1960s Madison Avenue, together at last!

March Madness meets Mad Men. Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Ken Cosgrove, Peggy Olson, Pete Campbell, Betty Francis, and Bert Cooper have a lot at stake, and things are getting stressful. Who will win this year’s pool at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce?

We need more basketball references on ‘Mad Men.’ We’re almost to that point in time when Lew Alcindor changes his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right? That was 1968. Can season 6 of ‘Mad Men’ feature Don Draper lighting a cigarette with his brow all furrowed, complaining about how Kareem has signed his death warrant (or something equally dramatic) before getting all wistful about 8MM sky hook footage?

All I know is that I’m not picking Ohio State, because Pete said it with that look on his face. Who would Trudy pick? This is important.

Diamondbacks Fan Catches Foul Ball, Maintains Pizza Integrity

Written by Brandon Stroud / 04.18.12

He asked Domino’s if he could keep the ball, but they said “no”. The best part is either the terrified lady to his left who can’t enjoy what’s happened even after it’s done, or the slow reveal of the guy behind him with his fingers in his ears. (via Yardbarker)

Who Ya Got: Satanic, Teleporting Frank McCourt Or Magic Johnson In A Top Hat?

Written by Brandon Stroud / 03.30.12

NMA should turn this into an ongoing series. I want to know what happened to the poor Dodgers fan who had a McCourt lurking in his bushes.
