Our field of sports broadcasters has been cut to 16, and there were some massive upsets in the first round. Lead Fox play-by-play man Joe Buck fell to hockey legend Doc Emrick in the play-by-play division, and former First Take partners Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless both lost.
Former High Noon co-host Bomani Jones took out Bayless in a blowout win, while Stephen A. Smith fell to No. 8 seed Colin Cowherd. Each of our top four seeds in the pundit region lost, as Jalen Rose and Shannon Sharpe were both ousted as well.
