Smart man. Though it could get so much better by either letting the kids go from HS to the NBA or going the college baseball route.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:15 AM
Eww. Taylor Swift is so nasty. That boob job did nothing.
/Meow
January 29th, 2013 at 8:18 AM
Taylor Swift is not attractive at all. Worst Round Up choice ever. I would rather have Rhianna than Swift, and that’s saying something.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:19 AM
don’t think that would matter. changing duration of season – say, Jan-May – might do something to avoid NFL/college in Nov/Dec, but otherwise, i don’t really think the sport “stinks.”
January 29th, 2013 at 8:21 AM
The one about the ’83 draft sounds interesting.
The NC State championship is a great story, but it’s been covered so much. Is there new insight that hasn’t come out in the last 30 years?
That Peterson-Mike Kekich story shocked the sports world back then. Surprised we haven’t seen something from Hollywood about it until now.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:21 AM
The quality has gotten so much worse, but that’s because the game loses it’s best players too quickly. I agree the Nov start time is terribly placed, but I’m not sure the NCAA can push it back too much. I’d love to see them trim the shot clock down to 30 seconds at least (28 would be even better). I hate that teams can just grind down the clock. It makes it unbearable to watch, even though it can be effective.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:26 AM
So in the Tom Dempsey article. in the picture with the wife he has the boot on his left foot but in the picture of the field goal he is kicking with his right foot? wtf?
January 29th, 2013 at 8:27 AM
And 49th year anniversary of him wearing women’s panties.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:29 AM
Is this getting it’s own post. Seems strange.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:32 AM
College basketball has been my favorite sport to watch for most of my life…but not any more. The sport doesn’t “stink” but the one and dones have harmed it for me, and my viewership has dropped.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:33 AM
Taylor Swift
That’s a nice set of … clavicles.

At Some Schools, Achievement Lags Behind Opportunity
This sounds like a terrible horse race. Unemployment is leading at the turn. And here comes Recesssion, follwed by Obama-Phone. Down the stretch they come, we have Defense Spending making a move, but Malaise Forever is not letting him inside, Defense Spending, Recession, Defense Spending, Recession, and out of nowhere…. $ocializm for the win!!!
January 29th, 2013 at 8:34 AM
Stupid article. Their solution was “smaller class sizes and more time with resources.” Just that easy, huh? Where is all this $$$ going to come from to fund that?
During my internship, I had 30 student classes, with textbooks from the early 90s. It’s up to the teacher to make the best of the situation. Too many old fucks with tenure holding on to jobs that they are horrible at in our education system.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:34 AM
Scripty wins the day. You can all go home now.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:35 AM
This article is spot on. I don’t know anyone who follows Boston sports who even bothers to read the Globe or Herald anymore.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:35 AM
Oh I’d wipe that dirty little smile right off Taylor Swift’s face or die trying. That little bitchy attitude of hers is fantastic.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:36 AM
My 14 year old thinks “she is a dime”. I beg to differ.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:36 AM
That’s a 30 for 30
January 29th, 2013 at 8:36 AM
Put me on the no Taylor Swift bandwagon.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:37 AM
how would avoiding the NFL help the quality of the on-court product, which is absolute dogshit these days?

as would i…but i think we’re talking about different things.
/hint: im talking torture
January 29th, 2013 at 8:44 AM
if i were to kill taylor swift, how would i do it? well, aside from slowly and gleefully, of course…
id probably start with a chair and some zip ties. maybe sew her mouth shut or cut her vocal cords. who knows…maybe id even get a lil saucy and slit the webbing of her hands with a manilla folder. yea, that one sounds good.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:44 AM
this sounds pretty pedorasty, but Taylor Swift was a lot better looking when she was younger.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:45 AM
I remember when Taylor Swift and Amanda “chicken legs” Seyfried dominated the roundup for a while. The humanity.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:46 AM
OHHHH THE HUMANITY.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:46 AM
I figured that was a joke. if she did get one, that may be the worst joke ever.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:46 AM
Once an elf, always an elf.
/team not attractive
She can get it though
January 29th, 2013 at 8:46 AM
You’re just pissed she’s about 6 inches taller than you.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:47 AM
Everything ok at home, Spencer?
January 29th, 2013 at 8:49 AM
This was almost good enough to change my mind. Although, if her music comes on the radio, I may enjoy her music and not change it and I’ll stand by that
January 29th, 2013 at 8:49 AM
Why would you move college basketball’s finish to the start of MLB? March Madness and Opening Day are appointment viewing for white sports fans who insist inferior play means better fundamentals and harkens back to the glorious days when coloreds didn’t sully these proud games. Seems you’d be double dipping on viewership, could hurt the numbers.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:49 AM
im pissed that she made $56mm in 2012 for plagiarizing songs from the “songwriting for dummies” book about guys that treated her like a pump’n'dump.
totes bro…ive always been pro-torture.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:50 AM
Wishful thinking, but maybe it’ll highlight the fact that Jimmy V was a huge cheater.
Also, 30 for 30 is neither 30 nor 30?
January 29th, 2013 at 8:50 AM
Believe we refer to that as Mullet’d or just simply /no Mullet

Taylor Swift is now going to write a song about how the blog commenter people were SOOOO mean.

Came home yesterday and my dog smelled like cilantro. It was weird.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:54 AM
damon and affleck as the wives? ballsy move.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:54 AM
The goal is not to bring any new insight. The goal is to have something about college basketball to run right after the brackets are announced. The topic & level of intelligence are irrelevant.
/ESPN business model
January 29th, 2013 at 8:54 AM
I’m sure this is on the up and up.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:56 AM
And make millions off of it. Her business strategy is something to behold.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:57 AM
damon and affleck as the wives? ballsy move.
the entire thing is going to be kabuki. Affleck has been given a lot of artistic freedom after Argo, and he’s going to explore the fuck out of it
January 29th, 2013 at 8:58 AM
She’s too obvilious to realize that maybe she’s the problem and that’s why every dude she dates breaks up with her. Grow up you elf.
January 29th, 2013 at 8:58 AM
So, they’re not keepin’ it 100?

do people really think this? or say as much? I don’t ever really recall hearing it, and I watch a decent amount of college hoops and I sure as shit don’t see it.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Affleck and Damon have been developing that story for a long time already. Pretty sure they were doing that regardless of Argo’s success/failure.

January 29th, 2013 at 9:24 AM
My thoughts as well. The pilot was so bad that anything would be better, but I liked the second episode for the most part. They really need to slow down, though. I feel like they’ve gone through an entire season’s worth of stuff in 2 hours.

A clinic in Miami has been supplying drugs to MLB players. The doctor kept hand written documents that his secretary gave to MLB. The discussion by Costas and MLB Network is if Afaud lied and was still taking HGH and Roads and therefore the Yankees can try and nullify his contract and recoup some of the money back.

When OSU lost to MSU a couple weeks ago. The last minute took about 10 minutes.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:41 AM
This. Same thing with the last Bo Jackson 30 for 30 where I learned nothing new and was pretty much a worse version of the Bo Knows Bo video from back in 93.

Back in my day, we didn’t send our wives to anti-aging clinics. We divoriced them.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:42 AM
Yeah if the 30 for 30 on State doesn’t hit on how corrupt Jimmy V and NCSU were, well I won’t be shocked, I don’t see why anyone is watching these anymore seeing as it peaked with The U.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:45 AM
I don’t see why anyone is watching these anymore seeing as it peaked with The U.
The one on Naismith’s rules of basketball was so bad I can’t believe it was even considered a 30/30 things. It should have been shown on the local university channel.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:45 AM
I thought the Carl Lewis/Ben Johnson was last season was very interesting but the rest were pretty much garbage. For how good The U was, Broke was that bad.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:46 AM
Specifically mentioned
January 29th, 2013 at 9:48 AM
Is there any chance the ghost of George Steinbrenner is behind this A-Rod news, desperately trying to conjure up a way to prevent the Yanks from paying him his full contract?
January 29th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
So is ARod specifically mentioned in the docs or is Costas just speculating?
In the report yes.
Also includes Geo Gonzalez and same company that supplied Manny Ramirez.

January 29th, 2013 at 9:55 AM
Worst part is, they’re gonna lose to Wisconsin and finish 5th in the Big 10. Nobody outside of Thomas can score with any consistency. That spells trouble with the limited possessions against the Badgers.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:56 AM
9.79 was good. Broke was terrible. I really dont remember watching any of the other ones, well except for Bo Jackson.
/Marcus Dupree 30 for 30 still the best
January 29th, 2013 at 9:56 AM
THey New Times article mentions that the player’s agents leaked the info to ESPN and the NY Daily News to “soften the blow.” I get ESPN, but the Daily News? That don’t make sense.

I have a feeling the NC State 30 for 30 will probably be a Jimmy V hand job and neglect his shadiness. If not, then it could be well done, but this story has been told and retold countless times.
I don’t see how they do more than gloss over the cheating. ESPN has the Coaches for Cancer, the annual ESPY speech, the Jimmy V. award, Dick Vitale, etc… They are too involved.

I stand corrected.

Yep, dying from cancer is the ulitmate eraser. Kids can’t read? No problem, cancer. Funneled money and cars to players? no problem cancer. 470 SAT? No problem, cancer.
ESPN is willfully ignorant on all of this.

Pretty spot-on. Aside from the obvious reasons (one and done, meaningless regular season), their are so many reasons the product is terrible:
- Over-coaching (or, over-emphasis on coaches)
- Shot clock too long
- Three-point line being too close
- Officiating discouraging driving by calling so many charges
But hey, if they shifted the season, then they wouldn’t be going up against the NFL! Cures all their ills!

It’s hard to beat the combo of coffee and thin mints.

Surprisingly enough, NYDN has been at the forefront of investigative reporting on the steroid issue. ESPN’s TJ Quinn was one of the reporters from the NYDN who broke many stories; methinks he got the names from the Mitchell report, but me could be wrong.

Nothing touches the NFL, but it doesn’t help with shit games are on Thursday nights. The slate was garbage this year.

I wonder if he had any waitresses on their backs after posting that win.

It’s been a long time since I thought about Chris Washburn. It sure was easier to get away with stuff like that way back when.

That right there makes you class valedictorian at the Ole War Skule.

I don’t think they are ignorant at all, ESPN may be a lot of things, but they aren’t stupid. like someone said above, they have their hand in way too much Jimmy V stuff though to taint his image at all. there is no way that 30 for 30 is anything but a puff piece. same reason they had to get rid of that football show after 1 season, can’t go against the cash cow.

Going to OSU/Wisky tonight. OSU minus 6.5 seems like too many. Wisky tough to figure, lost @ Iowa but held minny to 44

What I’ve learned from the 1st two episodes is that Kevin Bacon can’t fight with a shit and the cops on that show are total morons that couldn’t protect a doughnut from a blind fat man.

Taylor Swift would probably be a boring lay..but i bet she’s game enough to take it in the back door on the first date.

That’s why all these guys fight with her and leave her. Makes perfect sense.
