This deep rooted feeling makes for the strangest of bedfellows. When not drapering women across the state of Kentucky or feuding with his former proteges, Rick Pitino coaches the University of Louisville basketball team. They have, somewhat remarkably, had a huge Big East Tournament and pressed their way into the Final Four – the bazillionth time Pitino has made it. I mean everybody loves the white suits but Rick can be tiresome as well.
Somehow we think this dude is going to save College Basketball from the likes of John Calipari? Jeez…let’s get real. No one is more crooked than Coach K. Everyone knows this but he gets a pass. Everyone on the UNC team just declared for the draft ( I guess they were in a rush to play in the d league next year), no one gives Roy Williams a hard time.
You know what? I hope Cal wins the National Title and I hope all 6 of those guys enter the NBA draft and become millionaires. The pezzonovante of the NCAA can bite me and Cal.
This will hopefully be my last Tebow post until he becomes the Jets’ starting QB in week 2, but this was too crazy to pass up. Apparently, the Jets brought Tebow out to NJ yesterday. I’m sure it’s a bit unusual for back-up QBs to get picked up in a private jet (have to check with Drew Stanton to confirm), but then, this whole situation is odd. ESPN is reporting that he arrived in the jet pictured above, a Hawker 900XP with the prominent tail number N15QB, as in “Number 15 Quarter Back,” Tebow’s number and position. That is either a pretty crazy coincidence, or a really, really insanely well orchestrated travel detail. I hope the Jets put this much thought into their offensive play calling.
America’s Coach, John Calipari is ready to lead his collection of “one and done” talents into the pages of soon-to-be-redacted-history! Can you smell the madness?
A Few Storylines to Watch
Witness Coach Cal call a time out and begcoach freshman Anthony Davis to “do something”…Watching Cal “coach” is my favorite…
Will the Big East go out with with a whimper? 9 bids in the last season before those treacherous bastards Syracuse and Pitt leave the conference for the ACC…
John Calhoun has barely been able to sit down all season and his UConn Huskies have barely shown up even though they might have 2 lottery picks on their team.
Long Beach St played the toughest out of conference schedule in the country. They went on the road and played tough and won their tournament and got a bid. Great story in the LBC
The WAC got more bids than the PAC-12. Let’s see how far St. Mary’s (Moraga, Ca) can go! Go Gaels!
I’m glad Cal snuck in but how about the the Committee not letting in the PAC-12 regular season champ, Washington? That’s wild.
Hold on a second the UCLA Bruins just got into another fight
I’m sure there are lots of other great stories.

Perhaps peyton would like to write “Bobbled Balls” on a weekly basis for us in lieu of going to Miami or joining the Football Night In America on NBC crew?
In basketball terms, New York City is a place whose grasp exceeds its reach. Really it is the Babel of the basketball world and Madison Square Garden, though the self proclaimed “mecca of basketball”, is its Tower. New Yorkers think they own basketball in much the same way people from Indiana though. It’s completely out of hand, in a NY Basketball fan’s mind, players like Lebron James and Chris Paul cannot wait to forgo millions of dollars being thrown at them by upscale beach communities in Miami and Los Angeles to come play in NY. This is complete hogwash, and recent history has proven it.
Instead of the second coming of “Dollar” Bill Bradley or Walt “Clyde” Frazier, these fans are left to hope that a poorly constructed team of superstars can somehow how deliver them from grasp of the Pharoah (David Stern? No, I’m reaching…how about James Dolan? Yes, Cablevison/MSG/NY Knick Owner James Dolan, he’s terrible). Enter long time Hose favorite, Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy is the perfect fit for this collection of ball hogs and people who need someone else to create a shot for them. He’s no Steve Nash, He’s not even old Jason Kidd but belongs to NY and he’s awesome!
(1) How is it that Vernon Davis is the fastest player on his team (the 49ers)? That guy must weight 265 pounds. Doesn’t the team have a 180 pound wide receiver / kick returner / or scat back that can beat him in a footrace?
(2) How can Vince Wilfork have such a humungous belly and still run around the football field like that?
(3) Should Peyton Manning retire and become the new offensive coordinator of the NY Giants?
(4) Do reverse jinxes ever work?
(5) Was Jim Harbaugh ungracious in defeat yesterday?
You all know that I am a huge Everton fan (go Toffees!) and have been for nearly 18 years months. So nothing delighted me more this week than watching US Men’s National Team and Everton F.C . goal keeper Tim Howard bend in a one-hopper from 100 yards out.
Apparently, this is only the fourth time in English Premiere League history that a goalie has scored a goal (which seems hard to believe, but maybe they mean from his own box?). High-five, Timmy!

This week, xTian was live from MetLife Stadium watching as the New York football Giants squared off against the Green Bay Packers 
The Bears were the best team in the NFL for like 35 minutes this week.
