Gag.

UNC Tar Heels: NCAA Basketball :: Boston Red Sox: Baseball

Could the officiating be any more biased? Sean May steamrolls Roger Powell. No charge. James Augustine looks at Raymond Felton funny from 10 feet away and gets whistled.

Could the whining be any worse? Billy Packer screaming about ILLEGAL SCREEN! ILLEGAL SCREEN! the last 6 minutes of the game every time Illinois set their offense. Meanwhile, UNC's traveling left and right and all over the place, and Packer's paying no mind.

Could the fawning be any more shrill? Quick, let's all verbally fellate Roy Williams. He's had it so hard coaching at Kansas and being Dean Smith's assistant. For Christ's sake, Bruce Weber's last job was at SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. The guy's mother died the week before the tournament started, and he just gritted his teeth and went to work. He spent umpteen years working for Gene Keady, one of the grumpiest old men in the world.

Oh well, at least the Sox won. Although all the local news channels were fawning about the Team Up North this morning. This is such a recurrent theme in my life.

Historic day today. Happy 58th, Dad.
