CBS, a big “fuck you” for the way you covered the Final Four. I’m sorry that Syracuse won and spoiled your planned Roy Williams love-in. You know, Jim Boeheim has only been waiting 27 freaking years to win a title. That’s an angle too. How about showing the nets being cut down instead of showing 93 commercials?
Billy Packer, please help yourself to a nice warm cup of STFU. Your bias against Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony is ridiculous. Can you please stop the “It’s a shame that Roy Williams and his seniors didn’t get to win” bullshit? What do you have against Carmelo? That he’s probably going pro after one year? That he’s better than you were? Maybe even some kind of racist thing? What?
Bonnie Bernstein, help yourself to a cup too. What kind of asshole do you have to be to ask Roy Williams about the Carolina job TWICE after he lost the championship? You’re just lucky Roy is such a class guy. If you tried pulling that shit on Bobby Knight, forget cussing you out on live TV, he’d kick your ass.
Dick Vitale, can you tear yourself away from Duke for 5 seconds to freaking give credit where credit is due? I don’t care about what Kansas didn’t do. You can’t say “oh, well they should have made more free throws, so let’s just add on those points and there you go, they win.” How about talking instead about what Syracuse DID do? About how so many different guys stepped up for them not just on Monday but all year.
Know what? All 'a y’all can go fuck yo’selves. Y’all be bullshit. Syracuse won, Kansas lost. That’s it and that’s all.
BTW New Yorkers, the DMV says that the license tag SU 81 KU 78 is available.
It’s nice to see that Jim Boeheim didn’t wind up becoming the Buffalo Bills of college basketball. Roy Williams will have his title soon enough, leading the Kans-olina Jay Heels to victory.
That was certainly an exciting tournament. I’m hoping that Carmelo Anthony stays at SU instead of going to the NBA. What a great team! And Gerry McNamara is an awesome three-point shooter! I’m excited to see what they do next year!
My mother lives in Northern NY and she was watching Syracuse’s ABC affiliate–what is it–WIXT? And she said she was up until 1:00 am watching the whole press conference. Did CBS show it?
I’m so mad at myself for falling asleep on the couch during the second half! Oh well, that’s life during tax season. Twelve hour days and little sleep. :mad:
Amen to that Elfwood. I just stopped watching the game half-way through, but flipped back periodically. It was good to see my Local Homeboy MacNamara win, and the boys finally get Boeheim his title. Roy can have it next time.
And ESPNNews covered the press conference. I watched it after the game.
ElwoodCuse, I thought you had some good points here. I couldn’t believe how many commercials they threw at us after the game. It was maddening. I think there was a commercials logjam caused by that pesky BASKETBALL GAME during the second period when Kansas was making a run and they couldn’t break away.
But the ALWAYS find time for the Most Annoying Media Product to come along in some time - the famous ONE SHINING MOMENT ejaculate that they lovingly produce each year. It usually brings tears to my eyes, much like teargas does. This year I was smart enough to change the channels before I was exposed.
Me? I just wish someone would run up and smack Jim Nance with a pie in the face. His never-ending smarm-fest never fails to put me in a bad mood. After the game, with a hushed and reverent tone, he starts in with Jim Boeheim with something like: “Jim, you standing here with your lovely wife ____, tears flowing, and your lovely children all nestled here at your side, the culmination of a dream, your shining moment, tell us, how special is this moment to you, Jim, and to your family?”.
At that point I reflex-vomited halfway across the room. It caught me off guard, and before I knew it, I had a mess on my hands.
Ever watch him as he deals his spew at at the conclusion of The Masters? God, I fully expect him to start gently licking Tiger’s nipples. He makes Dick Enberg look like Snoop Dog.
Can someone please send Jim Nance to Iraq to cover the war? Just put him in Qatar - just get him outa here.
