Gritty’s March Madness bracket is a delightful mess

Gritty is love. Gritty is life.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Gritty became the latest celebrity to publicly post his March Madness bracket, and it makes no damn sense — just like Gritty.

Gritty has “LOVE” cutting down the nets at the end because love always wins, but really he’s picking Duke. An appropriate pick for a transdimensional monster who will one day consume us all.

Some other fun facts about Gritty’s bracket:

  1. He has Gardner Webb going all the way, which leads me to believe Gritty might be a Gardner Webb alum.
  2. That Elite Eight matchup between Lady Gaga and University of Phoenix Online is going to be BRUTAL.
  3. He likes turtles ... a lot.
  4. I like how Bradley just morphs into “Cooper” without any explanation.
  5. I’m surprised Gritty has strong feelings about toothpaste brands. I just assumed he brushes with the blood of his enemies.
  6. Godzilla is a better name that Gonzaga.

Secretly I hope this bracket somehow wins and Gritty becomes a millionaire. Who knows what he could do with that money.
