The first round of the NCAA basketball tournament is always the best. There’s non-stop action on that Thursday and Friday, and there are upsets galore.
That’s not exactly how it works in the Detroit Lions Name Bracket Tournament. Upsets happen, but rarely with the excitement of a buzzer beater. They usually come with minor triumphs or blatant voter fraud. That isn’t to say the first round isn’t worth tuning in for. It sets the tone for the rest of the tournament. It’s voters’ first chance to declare their backing for their favorite names in the tournament.
