There is no point to checking out of a hotel; it's a vestige of the past

Explain to me what the reason of checking out of a hotel is... Today I walked down the lobby and there was a line all the way out the door of people waiting to check out. What is the point? They're nerds... Clocks are a vestige of the past. I tell my own time.

Opinion Life Mild

Most modern hotels don't require a formal lobby checkout unless there is a billing dispute, supporting Hank's practical view.

A 10-seed needs to win at least one game to 'make some noise' in the tournament

So, hey, there are a couple 10 seeds out there that could make some noise... We don't know what noise means, but it depends. It's like on a sliding scale, if a 15 seed comes within 10 points of beating a two seed, they made some noise... But if a 10 seed, they have to win at least one game to make some noise.

Opinion CBB Mild Subjective

This is a subjective definition of a sports cliche.

Darren Rovell is un-American for not filling out a March Madness bracket

Shout out Darren Rovell does not fill out a bracket. So that is a March Madness tradition for him telling the world that he doesn't fill out a bracket and he's un-American and basically a terrorist.

Hot Take CBB Hot SubjectiveSarcastic

The claim is hyperbolic and satirical.

Wisconsin got screwed by the NCAA Tournament selection committee with an 8-seed

I am biased, but Wisconsin got fucked... they're an eight seed which I'm fine with because they haven't played well but Minnesota is a five seed and Wisconsin beat Minnesota two times this year.

Opinion CBB Medium

Wisconsin was indeed an 8-seed despite sweeping Minnesota, who received a 5-seed. Wisconsin advanced further in the tournament (Sweet 16) than Minnesota (First Round).
