If you have an ounce of interest in college basketball, you know Jay Billis, who just

0:46.8

dominates the sport in words spoken and written and in games predicted. Jay, to me, is the

2:08.7

counsel, which is the lawyerly hoity-toity way of saying that I race all the old guys to the

2:15.2

elevator at lunch and probably don't come back.

2:25.2

Well, I would think some clients would pay your hourly fee just to talk college hoops with you.
