Greetings True/Slant contributors. It's March and that means it's time for the TRUE/SLANTAMENT OF CHAMPIONS!
If you are getting this e-mail, it means you are eligible to enter our NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tournament bracket contest.
It will cost you nothing but a little bit of time and a lot of fun.
Three lucky True/Slant contributors will win cash prizes if they pick the right winners in an NCAA bracket.
1st - $100 and big time bragging rights
2nd - $50 3rd - $25
The take will be added to your next paycheck from us.
Responses to the usual objections:
1. I don't know anything about the NCAA basketball tournament
Neither did my Mom in 1991. And she entered her office pool and came home with 200 bucks that she took from all the doctors at work like she was a bully and it was their lunch money. It could happen to you!
2. I don't like basketball
But, you like money, and talking smack. You'll have the opportunity to do both.
3. The sign-up is through Yahoo and I don't have a Yahoo login
