    I like how the article ignores the fact that the press works best when your athletes are more talented that the opposition's athletes-like, say, if you're an ACC powerhouse stocked with NBA talent.


    Also, he spells "calibre" like a douche. The revolution's over. We Won. (thanks to Rick Pitino, who pressed the shit out of the British at Lexington and Concord)

    Basketball players are lazy thugs and felons. Getting them to hustle even while paying them millions is just not going to happen.

    Umm, ever hear of a little fellow by the name of Nazr Mohammed?


    You have to be careful about how you reference Mohammed in print. It could lead to repeated strikes from the Talibanhammer
