While Kobe Hits the Beach, LeBron Does DC
NBA Finals LeBron James, last seen exiting the Eastern Conference Finals in quite a hurry, was in DC last night to take in a screening of More Than a Game at the opening night of the SilverDocs Documentary Film Festival. Kristopher Belman’s movie follows five promising young ballers from Akron, Ohio, one of whom just happens to grow up and become the greatest player of his generation (Kobe might argue that title is still pending).
And while LeBron still doesn't have that championship trophy, that didn't stop him from swinging by the White House to chat with Barack Obama for a few.
Of course basketball fans immediately wondered whether the future free agent had a good enough time in the nation's capital to consider a move there next year—can we expect a swing through New York on the way back, LeBron?

Where To Watch The Final Four Fury In The Motor City
We’ve told you time and time again that our bracket is too jacked up to win us cash and prizes. We have UConn and UNC in the championship game, so at least we can still hope for that. Once again we learned the hard way that an office pool is not an effective economic stimulus—at least Tax Day is only a few weeks away—let's hope for a refund.
We’ll be watching this weekend’s games at home, but if you’re lucky enough to head to Detroit, here are a few spots that might be worth your time. Detroit gets a bad rap, but times are tough in Motown. So if you’re heading up that way, spend big, sleep a little, and tell everyone what a great place it is—that’s just the Jaunted way of helping out.

Four More Places Left To Take In March Madness
Please don’t judge us, but we had Duke in the Final Four. Even when we played with the scenario generator thing, we don’t know if we can even pull off second place. Maybe we can just write-off our gambling loss during the next tax season—probably not. Well, there’s always next year, but at least there’s still plenty of games to watch.
Only those on the west coast will have to sneak out a little early to check out the games today, but we say leave work and see the games in person. All those papers that you pushed around yesterday afternoon before you left will still be there on Monday. There’s four cities left where the Sweet 16 teams will battle it out for the last four spots, so here’s some suggestions if you’re in a few of them.

March Madness Gets Underway And We Already Lost
If you’re like us your bracket is already a train wreck. Did you really think that Virginia Commonwealth could beat UCLA in the first round? We did and they were so close except for that last second air ball. We’ll just have to hope that the second half of the first round goes a little better today. At least all our Final Four teams are still in it—an improvement from a couple years ago—woops!
With a cool boss you’re likely taking in some of the afternoon games right in the office break room, with an exceptional boss you’re watching the games in person while the TPS reports collect dust back in the cubicle. There’s eight cities getting in on the first and second round action, so here’s some suggestions if you’re in a few of them.
