I would like to not apologize for the lack of updates. Apologies are something I do not do without lighting myself on fire and I do not have a lighter. We’ve got some pretty exciting stuff planned for the radio in the next few months and I’ll have something posted for you on Friday or Saturday.
I’m watching the UCONN vs. Marquette game right now (and missed picking UConn on Beat the Streak by about two minutes which I’m really pissed about) and ESPN just displayed Dick Vitale’s All-Solid team. Not only is that a horrendous name, it truly shows Dick’s poor judgment. First, most of the guys were white which is not a shock considering Vitale’s obvious man-crush on any white guy in the paint, Harangody and Hansbrough being the main two. I don’t know why Vitale is so obsessed with white guys who will not make it in the NBA. He had a similar love affair with J.J. Redick.
The list didn’t even include DeJuan Blair though it did have Hasheem Thabeet. Even as a partial Husky fan that struck me as strange. Blair became Thabeet’s new father a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure what’s more impressive, putting up 22 points and 23 rebounds over the 7′3” Thabeet or limiting Thabeet to 5 points and 4 boards and causing him to foul out. A man amongst boys. I guess that’s not “solid” enough for Vitale. He prefers to have Harangody on the list who was also manhandled by Blair when Blair put up 23 points and 22 boards in Luke’s eyes. At least Thabeet is on the best team in the country (consider that a projection for next weeks rankings). Harangody has led his team to a 6-8 conference record. I’m not even going to get into the lack of big guys in the ACC or how Hansbrough was made to look like a second grade girl against Roy Hibbert last season.
Am I calling Dick Vitale a racist? No. Just an idiot. I’d also kill for a 6-8 record in the SEC for the Dawgs.
It’s been a pretty good week for me in terms of my celebrity loves. It’s only a matter of time before the lovely Rihanna officially breaks up with Chris Brown (for me) AND Megan Fox dumped her man. For those of you who also waited in line at 7am for the stores to open for Megan’s Maxim magazine to come out, you’ll know she has “Brian” tatted on her waistline. When we get together I can just go by my first name to keep the transition smooth. Then while I’m working at Q100 this summer, Rihanna and I can meet, fall in love and move to the Barbados. It’s all deadly.
(As much as I would have loved to have littered the previous paragraph with pictures, our internet is down and the free wi-fi that I’m using (and if it’s not free, stealing) keeps blocking the links I click. It’s going to be a long week…)
Until next time, ball hard.
