All The Times I’ve Created A Bracket And Then Argued With Myself About It

By Ryan O'Connell on 03/09/2023 • ( 0 )

Here’s something you should know about me.

I like to argue with myself. Or more specifically, I enjoyed a spirited debate between me, myself and I.

It’s fun. It’s exciting. It’s weird at times, but for the most, I think it’s pretty enjoyable. The best part is when I surprise myself. The worst part is when I hit 5,000 words and haven’t even hit the “wrap-it-up” part.

Who Is The Greatest HBO Character Of All Time?

This was the first-ever tournament like this I did and it was fun. It was so much fun that it ended up being updated a few times, although that was also due in large part to new shows premiering and/or getting better.
