Play-in Games Announced. Ewing NOT pleased with confusion

Official play-in Game listings right here.  Mail-in copy is hard to read for play-in games.


This IS rocket science.  The mailings will be delayed by a whole day since the Play-in Games had to be figured out to make sure the right team are matched up.  "This is bullship." said Mark Ewing. "We had to get the correct underdogs (right-sided teams (below)) lined up to play the favorites (on left).  "The committee made the East have 2 play-in games that threw everything off....and these games won't even mean anything in a few days.  Foreigner missed the play-ins, and they now have the task of getting slaughtered by the equally hot-blooded Ian Hunter.
  "I had to take some liberty in the pairings since it got all screwed up.  Here is how the Committee came by the decisions:  Nora Jones gets the top seed (of our 17th-listed seeds)-since she won it all in 2010. She essentially became the new 11-seed.   Out of respect, Blind Willie Johnson garners the 12-seed.  He is highly renoun.   I don't think you can argue.   That leaves the two worst artists, Michael Jackson and The Floaters, both have no talent, both get to get the 16th seeds."
