What makes someone a good dad?

Is it his love for his children? The way he supports his family? Does having the perfect #DadBod mean you are the perfect dad?

Who is ultimate #DadGoals?

That is what the guys on the Podfathers Podcast are in search of. The show presented by Barstool Sports talks about an array of topics that normal fathers go through in their daily lives. The three men who do the podcast are Kevin Clancy a.k.a. KFC, Justin Clemenza a.k.a. Clem, and Chaps McNeal a.k.a. Uncle Chaps.

You may know Chaps from his work of impersonating NFL insiders with fake signings.

The World Wide Leader once fell for it.

Even the Shield.

But less about these #stoolies and more about #MarchDadness

Four regions. Real life. Television. Movie. Cartoon. 32 dads enter. Last one remaining is determined the GOAT of fatherly figures. Survive and Advance.

Podfathers created the bracket with 8 selections for each distinction. Seeding them one through eight. They posted the matchups on twitter and let the world decide. So far the first two rounds have been completed.

And just like #MarchMadness there has been plenty of surprises in this bracket.

In the movie region. The number two seed was John Q. Archibald, a character played by Denzel Washington in the 2002 film, is a man who holds an emergency room under hostage because his nine year old son needs a life-saving transplant and his insurance will not cover the costs of the surgery.

He was knocked out in the first round by seven seeded Darth Vader. And you though Villanova having to play Wisonsin in the second round was tough?

The cinderella story is Randy Marsh out of the Cartoon Region. The six seeded South Park father took out Peter Griffin from Family Guy in a highly anticipated matchup.

The mountain man Marsh ran away with it, winning 59 percent of the vote. The next day he took out Mufasa. Now he’s up against the Number one seeded Homer Simpson, with a trip to the final four on the line.

No number one seed has fallen yet. The big one to look out for comes from the Real Life Region in NFL player Antonio Cromartie.

Who’s he matching up against in today’s round? Well none other than the Almighty Father-God.

It looks likes its going to come down to the wire in this one.

So if your bracket is already busted, or your team either did not make the dance or bounced out in the first weekend. There’s always #MarchDadness

I’m backing Marsh. You just do not see this type of preparation in others.
