Not Too Crazy to Get Brackets Busted
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Bryan Ward:
- My bracket now lays bleeding as I had UCLA vs. Georgetown for the championship with Georgetown winning. I really thought that UCLA was the strongest team in the tournament so far. It looks like Florida will win their second in a row. I wonder how that changes the cosmic tumblers for Billy Donovan. If he wins, he can think "I've won two championships at Florida, let's see what I can do at Kentucky" Or, I've won two championships at Florida, players are dying to come here and play for me, why the heck should I leave?" And if he loses, there is always that "unfinished business" scenario.
- Speaking of coaches, kudos to Chris Lowery for taking the money and not running. Let's see if John Calipari does the same. If I were Coach Cal, the only job that would interest me would be Kentucky.
- The White Sox end the exhibition season on a low note. Don Cooper doesn't seem worried his pitching staff got lit up like Times Square all spring. In the meantime, Ozzie is pondering starting Scott Podsednik instead of Pablo Ozuna (.355 vs. lefties) on opening day against lefty C.C. Sabathia. And so, it begins.
- Look, Sammy Sosa!
- Bears GM Jerry Angelo starts pissing back at Lance Briggs' agent Drew Rosenhaus. Bear fans don't care if Briggs plays or not. I still believe that getting the sixth pick in the draft is better than a player holding out. Of course, there is no guarantee that Rosenhaus won't be his agent.
- Minor league baseball in Chicago is becoming a not so friendly place.
- When you are a former NHL player, best not cuss out your son's pee wee coach in front of a lot of witnesses. I think Tie Domi was just being himself. The part about being "a so called role model" is far fetched and biased.
- Bill O'Reilly takes issue with Rosie O'Donnell using TV show as a bully pulpit. Isn't that what O'Reilly does? He also calls the people that watch "The View" "politically unsophisticated." Is there a bigger elitist in this country than Bill O'Reilly? The ironic part is he calls Rosie a "Bush hater." Hardly.
- I never thought I would ever write these five words: I agree with Newt Gingrich.
- Former Wisconsin Governor and HEW Secretary Tommy Thompson begins his quest to finish fifth in the Republican primaries.
- Hillary Clinton wants fewer Americans to be able to own a home. This goes along with the assertion that the rich think that the only people that can handle money are the rich.
- Researchers have discovered that Amelia Erhart and Fred Noonan may have wound up like Gilligan.
As a dog owner, I really feel for these people. You'll be happy to know, Butkus D. Dogg only eats dry food, so he is unaffected by this.- I know how to catch Osama Bin Laden. Tell the music industry he's downloading music or not paying royalties for his internet radio station. They'll have him in court in a New York minute.
- This is an honest representation of what I think of ESPN Sportscenter. It's also why I refuse to watch it.
