Roundup: David Stern Takes a Beating, Purdue Suspension & the Situation Bombs at the Trump Roast
Brooke Burke … RIP Nate Dogg, our favorite song of his is below … actor Jason Patric has a lot of opinions about Lady Gaga … this man paid a $6,500 credit card bill using pennies … praying before tests at school? … how could happiness possibly be overrated? … “Stiffler” is headed to a treatment facility … high schools sports in Jacksonville could be in trouble … the new ‘Bachelorette‘ is the cute brunette who lost on ‘The Bachelor’ … here’s Suge Knight throwing a few haymakers in a Vegas casino … dumb use of cell phone app lands Idaho man in jail …

If you’ve been wondering what DaJuan Wagner, the former lottery pick, has been up to.
i heard some rumors about this dude when the cavs drafted him. the cavs kept saying his knee was “hurt”, but i heard he got some nasty STD’s and when he would practice he would have to wear a catheter.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:18 AM
That was brutal. Did someone write those jokes for him? I sure hope not.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
is that Nate G? Had no clue!
That’s one of the most underrated Snoop songs of all-time! i have it on my ipod. It hot fire in college.

Whitlocks column was fantastic, I cant believe how many people liked that horrible Fab Five “documentary” (quotes because it was all bullshit). Jalen Rose is a whiny bitch who thinks far too much of himself, fuck that guy.

Completely disagree, but I’m not going to throw curses or hyperboles at you, because you’re entitled to your opinion.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:27 AM
I think this is headed towards an ugly ending. With a work stoppage probably coming, he is going to be facing a ton of negative public opinion, but right now folks are too pre-occupied with the NFL to pay much attention. His day is coming, and I don’t think it will be pretty. the way he handled the Seattle fiasco as well as continuing to let Sterling be an owner is just unforgivable.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Next time I’m feeling kinda hornaaaaay… you can come on over and I’ll break you off. And if you can’t fuck that day baby… just lay back and open yo mouth. Cuz IIIIIIIIIII have never… met a girllllllllll… thaAAAAT I loved in the whole wide worllllllllld.

Haven’t seen the doc yet but thought it was a good read, interesting point about Thompson’s Hoyas but the Fab Five introduced long shorts so I guess they’re true trendsetters
March 16th, 2011 at 9:30 AM

March 16th, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Enjoy Whitlock, but he’s missing an important piece here. Those Georgetown teams won championships, yes, but they weren’t starting five freshmen. People don’t expect two freshmen to be able to compete with more experienced teams, let alone FIVE. That’s what shook up the “establishment”.

Let me tell you something. The south region of the cougar-madness bracket is as tough a group of something as you will ever find.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Contrarian to the core, Jason. It used to be readable because it was a surprise. Not any more.
I’ve been to an Aretha Franklin concert for the record. She was always on in the car when I was a kid driving around with my mom. I’m really into this song this morning though.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Yep.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Enjoy Whitlock, but he’s missing an important piece here. Those Georgetown teams won championships, yes, but they weren’t starting five freshmen.
They didn’t really start 5 Freshmen until later in the year though.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Once again he is boiling it down to simply a race issue. It’s not just about race. G’Town deserves all the credit in the world for what they accomplished, but the advance of the media by the time the Michigan freshman came along combined with their juxtapostion against Duke and Carolina is what made their run so memorable and intriguing.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:35 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Holy shit that’s hilarious!

That girl just won the Big East tournament and is riding a ton of momentum into the Culture Tourney. No way she misses the Elite 8 if TBL puts her in.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
If that Cougar Madness thing has a final that’s not Liz Hurley vs. Faith Hill, then it’s 100% fixed.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
He also qualified his words saying that was how he felt “at the time” and admitting Duke was a great team that beat them fair and square. All the guys admitted Duke was a good team and Laettner was legit.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
It’s an injustice Stacey Dash is a 3 seed. Especially when Faith Hill is a 1, and I love Faith Hill.

ESPN had to do something, I guess.
I mean, HBO Sports beat them to the more compelling college basketball team from that era: Tark’s UNLV teams.
Whitlock’s point about those Georgetown teams is also correct. People were just petrified of those teams and there were fewer more imposing figures in College basketball than John Thompson back in those days.
March 16th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
I actually think this is a pretty accurate description. And funny.

Whitlock hit it out of the park. The fab 5 didn’t revolutionize anything. Jalen Rose is a tool and he fits in perfectly with Jimmy King on First Take with Skip Bayless.
March 16th, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Fab Five doc was alright. Not having Webber really hurt its credibility, but I guess he wants to or has to keep quiet about his Michigan days. They were trendsetters on the baggy shorts, black shoes/black socks, but Gtown hats and gear were much bigger on the East Coast anyway. Dean Smith brought in five freshman a few years earlier with a lot of hype(Montross, etc), but they never started together although there was a national championship in there somewhere.

Well, they had to go to the coach and ask him to obtain/wear the baggy shorts, didn’t they?
March 16th, 2011 at 10:19 AM
I really liked it because of the memories it brought back. I was in HS at the time, on the hoops team, and it was a big deal (at least to us). I even distinctly remember one of the guys on the team putting them through to the championship game against Duke in his brackets – needless to say he won the pool that year.
Watching the documentary now – I was a little dismayed by the douchebaggery behavior they had on the court. In particular, Juwan Howard was a complete ass during games.
I thought Webber came off very poorly, both in his post-game (at the time) interviews, swearing at the cameras, etc. and his refusal to participate. I know he can’t do anything ‘official’ with Michigan for a couple of years, but I don’t think being interviewed would be contrary to that.
March 16th, 2011 at 10:20 AM

Obviously Jordan had influence, but the NBA’s uniform code kept him from going as far. Agree with earlier comment on Arkansas, etc. At some point it was ridiculous (like those warmups).
March 16th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Yeah. The showdown outside the restaurant was badass though. Billy Brown has been great when he’s given a scene. I think we see the fight for sure before the season ends. 3 more episodes.

March 16th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
The Fab Five were trendsetters because, 1) They were very good. 2) They played with an audaciousness against the defending champion Duke squad early in their Freshman season. 3) They were trendsetters with the baggy shorts. 4) They created a contrast by bringing the hood and trash talk to the game, while at the same time being as articulate and introspective during interviews as any team out there. I still remember the 86 Duke squad getting so much love for their postgame interviews. The Fab Five were no different except for the fact that they looked different. That contrast forced alot of people to deal with their pre-conceived notions, and not everyone did it in the best manner.
March 16th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
His tantrum after the Duke game is a prime example of what pisses me off about guys like him. When times are good, he’s clowning and mugging and begging them to run the camera. But the second something doesn’t go bad, the media has no right to be in his face and he curses them out. Well, you can’t have it both ways, dick.
/actually liked the Fab Five

March 16th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
and all of this nonsense about them not winning anything, a starting lineup of underclassmen went to 2 National Championship games in a row, including during the first run beating Ohio State to get to the Final 4. They won alot of big games during their run, but of course haters gonna hate.
March 16th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Didn’t Georgetown do this first only while wearing Stockton shorts? Should say here that I was 2 when they won their championship and am only asking out of reputation I’ve heard about
March 16th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
On his radio show yesterday, Le Batard talked about an incident where he and Whitlock were hanging out in Miami and some woman got pissed and called him a “n****r” to his face because he cracked a joke about kissing her. Whitlock didn’t even get heated, I think he’s a contrarian just to be so, but he gets props from me on the way he handled that. If a dude did it I don’t think Whit would have handled it as well. If she did that to me…..well I’d probably be in jail
March 16th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
Absolutely. And they had a black coach who intimidated the shit out of everybody, and he never apologized for flat-out not recruiting any white players ever.
March 16th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
The difference between Georgetown and Michigan is that Georgetown’s personality was John Thompson, not the players. They brought a level of toughness to college basketball that just happened to have a black face. Michigan’s personality was the Fab Five, not Steve Fisher. They brought the playground to college basketball and showed you could win with that as well.
March 16th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
I don’t recall Gtown being hood or trash talking at all. Intimidating + racist coach? Yes. But they def didn’t carry themselves the way the fab five did.
March 16th, 2011 at 11:10 AM
Their players were straight out of the hood. In the 80s, Thompson cherry-picked all of the best inner-city/ghetto players out of New Orleans and the surrounding areas.
March 16th, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Being from the hood and acting hood are two different things. Do you have something specific you are thinking of to back that assertion up?
March 16th, 2011 at 11:22 AM
I can’t remember any specific examples of trash talking, but they definitely tried to intimidate opponents. Maybe that was more a reflection of their coach than being “hood.” I don’t konw.
However, I assert that Georgetown and UNLV were more revolutionary than the Fab Five.
March 16th, 2011 at 11:28 AM
agreed. UNLV def showed the world how high you can climb if you just ignore all those pesky NCAA rules. They were fun to watch though.

Alonzo was a little bit of a fighter and a shit talker but the die was already cast on the Georgetown program by the time he showed up.
March 16th, 2011 at 12:23 PM
Oh, dammit. It’s been 40 minutes since anybody was in here. I’ve got things to say about Whitlock! Oh, well, maybe somebody will stroll through later and see this. I like that Whitlock ends up (inadvertently?) giving props to D.C. with the Georgetown love and throwing in Grant Hill (coming straight out of NoVa!) but the reaction is a little over the top. The Michigan thing is a little self-aggrandizing and could do with dubbing the word “trend-setting” for “revolutionary” but I think Whitlock is going a little overboard with the hatred of it. Like somebody said a little earlier, the playground thing that the Fab Five brought and the style they manifest were a big deal. Is it all change for the better? Not necessarily but it’s silly to try to downplay or diminish the impact they did have as a way of countering the delusions they might live under
March 16th, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Making it to two title games is substantive. But I guess that didn’t fit into the style over substance argument narrative Whitlock wanted to flow with.
