The Weak that Was...

As I sit and watch Pitt lose, I now have now lost 3 of my final 4, my runner-up and my national champion. I really thought that this was gunna be the year...

I want to see the conversation an eighteen year old has with his father once hes made this life choice:
"Dad, I know what I want to do with my life."
"Let me guess son, Doctor?"
"No, father."
"Lawyer, like me?" (Turns towards the hallway) "Cheryl, come in here! Derek is telling me he wants to follow in my foot-"
"No, father, I dont want to be a lawyer. Gosh, you never listen."
(The father looks back, disappointment and embarrassment on his face) "Well, then what?"
"I have decided I am going to be bracketologist."

The NBA is in great hands with thier next generation of stars, Lebron, D. Howard, D. Wade and CP3. Watching how good these guys are on the court and how good they are off the court has further evidenced my long standing feeling that Micheal Jordan got away with being kind of a huge dickhead throughout his career just because he was so good at the game. I am sure A-Rod has noticed that too.

If there was a fantasy wiffle ball league on yahoo, I am pretty confident I would be owned by at least 18% of fantasy owners...

I am getting sick and tired of everyone talking about how there are no Cinderellas in this years tourney and how it is ruining it. First of all people are talking about how there is no longer any parody, when only 2 or 3 years ago everyone was talking about how the parody in NCAA basketball was unparalled in this era of the one-and-done player. Also, if there is a classic Cinderella story every year doesnt that water down the taste a bit? Isn't rarity a key facet in what makes a Cinderella a Cinderella? And call me crazy, but I like seeing good teams play good teams.

I was talking with A-Rod about his alleged fling with Madam Kristen Davis who spent time in prision for running the same hooker ring that brought down the former New York Governor just last year. A-Rod admitted to me that he did indeed "hit that like an inside fastball" and that he "had her bent over like she was fielding a grounder." We laughed, as we often do, and then I asked the tough question. I said "Al, how was the head, does she swallow?"
"Unfortunately," he responded, "Shes a spitzer."

Well, The WBC happened again. I see the 'world,' and the 'baseball,' I am just waiting for it to be 'classic.'

I want to get dunked on by Patrick Chewing...
