We’ve run through all 32 first round games, all 16 second round contests, and now we’ve moved on to the Sweet 16. Eight matchups with ever-increasing implications. It’s crunch time now. Get over to 950KJR.com and fill out your bracket ASAP.

Jessica Simpson vs. Megan Fox. On the surface, this looks like a tough call. Simpson has always been a force in the Bigger Dance, while Fox is a relative newcomer. That said, Fox is also one of the biggest names in this year’s tourney, and the likely favorite to upset three-time champ Jessica Alba. Just the first in a line of Jessicas that Fox runs through, the Transformers star moves on and advances to the Elite Eight.

Alessandra Ambrosio vs. Keeley Hazell. It’s a wonder that this pair of semi-unknowns have managed two victories thus far, but only will make it into the next round. Give that ticket to Hazell and let her punch it. Neither one of these two will make it past the Elite Eight, but you have to like the physical make up of Hazell over her competition in Ambrosio.

Fantasy Island: Helping you with your made-up baseball team

There are few things I am truly good at, but one of them is fantasy baseball.  I’ve been participating in leagues for over a decade, and won my first league on my first try. That was when I was 14 years old, I’m 24 now.

I’ve played in nearly every format of league you could imagine. Rotisserie, head-to-head, points, keeper, the list goes on.

The difference between me and fantasy “experts” is I’m not getting paid to give you any advice, so my assistance comes pressure-free. I’m only telling you how to improve your team because I want to, not because I have to. The one and only valuable think being staked on this advice is my reputation; not a paycheck, not a career.

So you should already know that my advice is the most pure, most clean, and most worthy advice you could possibly receive. My advice is untouched, unscathed, and wearing a chastity belt.

This will be a weekly piece throughout the season, so keep checking back when you need help.

Players you need to have:

Brandon Inge, C/3B. The Detroit Tiger is off to a scorching start and is entrenched at the hot corner for the Motown Cats. That means that Inge, who has struggled when shuffled between positions, should be able to concentrate fully on his hitting as he becomes more and more comfortable as the everyday third baseman. With his eligibility at catcher, in most leagues, Inge becomes an even more valuable commodity and should be worthy of a starting spot, at least until this power surge ends.
