Sit Down Bonnie
I'd like to thank Roy Williams for putting CBS sideline reporter Bonnie Bertstein in her place last night after Bernstein bombarded Williams with questions about the job vacancy at North Carolina. When asked if he would accept the position if North Carolina offered it to him, Williams replied "I could give a shit about North Carolina right now." Bernstein would have been fine if she would have stopped after her initial North Carolina question, but after Williams declined to answer she continued to press the Kansas coach. On a sidenote, if Williams does end up at North Carolina, the Duke-North Carolina rivalry will come to the forefront again as the most heated rivalry in all of sports.
Our Ignorant and Bigoted Representative
Republican state representative Arlon Lindner sat in front of an ethics committee yesterday that will decide his punishment after he made comments suggesting that the persecution of gays and lesbians during the holocaust has been greatly exaggerated. Lindner also claims that by passing his bill which takes civil rights protections away from homosexuals we will prevent the United States from becoming "another African continent." The best part of the hearing came while an 82-year old Edina woman was testifying on behalf of those wishing to censure Lindner. Hinda Kibort, a holocaust survivor, told Lindner's attorney that if his client "denies a part of what happened, he denies the holocaust." Lindner's attorney responded by saying, "anyone who denies the holocaust would have to be ignorant or a bigot," to which Kibort responded by saying, "I feel he is both."
That Is Why They Play The Games
Just about everyone I talked to before last night's NCAA men's basketball championship game told me they thought Kansas would beat Syracuse rather easily. Everything did seem to be in Kansas' favor. They had senior leadership compared to the Orangmen who started three freshmen. They're players were well rested compared to the Orangemen after a 30 point rout over Marquette in the semifinals. Many people also thought that Kansas would never allow Syracuse to get into their halfcourt zone defense due to the Jayhawks fast break. And finally, Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony was not at 100 percent due to a back injury. All of those theories were thrown out of the window in the first ten minutes of the game, when Syracuse came out on fire, while Kansas looked tentative to take outside jump shots.
