How about UCLA and Florida are seeded so that they can never meet again in the postseason? Once again, i am losing interest. Maybe it's because i don't like watching Florida. I don't even know why, i just don't. Obviously, like many of you I am perpetually annoyed by Joakim Noah. Can we just call him Sanjaya from now on? Both are talented, but not as talented as they are given credit for. Both are more known for their hair than their skills. And both are chicks, dude.
One of the many great things about having a toddler is the fact that i can watch games on my couch while eating junk food without needing a napkin or paper towel. When you have a used couch covered in toddler byproduct (urine, food, crayon, etc.), it doesn't really matter if you add some Dorito dust to the mix.
What a shame. Bill Raftery, John Thompson and Kevin Harlan are calling this game on the radio. Billy Packer and Jim Nantz are calling the game for CBS. I have always been critical of sportscasters, even before i majored in Journalism in college. I can't stand announcers who don't get me excited about the game. Biggest play of the game so far, Howland just called his last time out, and Nantz was talking about how Katie Couric will tell us how to quit smoking on Monday. Packer's tone and volume did not change after he realized what had just happened (five seconds later) I might need to switch from the Champagne of Beers to Mountain Dew if i want to make it through this snoozefest.
Okay, time to go fire up the PS2 for some NCAA Football 2004. No way is UCLA making a comeback.
Buckeyes revenge 4/2/07.
Big ups Lee Humphrey
Keep working CBS executives in charge of replacing Packer/Nantz at the Final Four

Well, it finally happened. I have succumbed to the world wibe web of time consumption. This isn't going to be about me, just my thoughts that i want to get off my chest. If you want to know about me, ask something.
The entries will focus on sports, but as the title suggests, i will often write in a streamofconsciousness style. This might just be a way to get things off my chest. Here it goes:
Final Four night.
For the first time in 4 years, i get to watch the Final Four. That's exciting. College basketball is my second favorite sport, behind college football. March Madness is exciting. I hope i didn't blow any minds with that groundbreaking revelation.
I love to watch sports. I prefer to watch alone at my house. Bars are a waste of money and i can't stand "that guy" who always acts like he knows more than he actually does. I already have to listen to "that guy" every morning on the bus to work. He actually said he picked against Carolina because "they just don't have enough depth this year." There are plenty of reasons to pick against Carolina this year. Roy Williams comes to mind first. But that is one of the deepest teams i've seen in years. They could easily have had two totally different starting fives that could each be one of the top 20 teams in the country.
I am a remote control control freak. But i am a skilled pro. I don't miss much. So imagine my excitement when i saw that ESPN classic was running a American Gladiators marathon opposite the Final Four. Billy Wirth, a long-haired white guy and Brown graduate from NYC would have been my favorite made-for-TV athlete had i seen the original broadcast that i just witnessed. He owned the Gladiators in multiple events, but lost to a faster, more aggressive guy.
Why do sideline reporters who interview losing coaches act like they're breaking the news of a close relative's death when they do the interview? Can't they be a little less somber? Seriously, it's just sports. In the whole scheme of things, it's not that serious. Solomon Wilcots is the only reporter who can be taken seriously in these situations. Check this year's AFC championship when Bill Belichick gave him the royal douche treatment and Wilcots handled it like a pro. Then smoothly dissed the Pats' coach during his losing interview with Lovie Smith at Super Bowl 41 (I'm not Roman)
Do you think Dick Bennet is going to take that big Chevy Coach of the Year trophy with him on all of his recruiting trips this offseason?
Time to go pick up my son. His school had their bi-monthly "Parents Night Out" tonight. They watch the kids free of charge on a Saturday night. From 6-9 pm. What the hell am i supposed to do from 6-9 that could possibly be considered a night out?
At least i got to watch the Bucks win in solitude. But i like watching sports with the little guy. Can't wait to tell him how Thad Matta out-coached JT3. Big JT is going to give 3 a whuppin' tonight. Remember that guy who got you to the Final Four? He wears #32, he was the Big East player of the year and tourney MVP. Single-handedly won the Vandy game. Guess not
Big ups David Lighty
Work harder John Thompson III
2 days til Opening Day. About 100 days til I care about MLB after Monday's game.
