The NCAA Tournament is here, which means the eyes of sports fans and non-sports fans alike will turn to the basketball court. Well, actually, they'll turn to empty brackets that we try to fill in.

The truth is no one is any more of an expert than anyone else, so while you may have stayed up to watch all the late games this season, you're not guaranteed to fill out your bracket any better than Marge, the secretary in HR who still doesn't realize that March Madness doesn't refer to the wild and windy weather associated with the month.

Everyone in your office is going to fill out a bracket, no matter what their knowledge of college hoops is. It's part of office life, like reading Facebook while pretending to work. So, while you're grappling with how far you should have your 12-seed go in its Cinderella run, just remember these are the things you're bound to hear as your co-workers debate the best way to fill out their brackets.
