Say It Ain't So: Reggie Jackson to Enter NBA Draft
BOSTON -- Boston College junior Reggie Jackson has made himself eligible for the NBA draft. But the 6-foot-3 guard says he won't hire an agent, so he could remove his name from the list and return to school. Jackson averaged 18.2 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game last season. He was the team's leading scorer as it rebounded from a sub-.500 season and went 21-13 (9-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) under new coach Steve Donahue. Jackson was named to the All-ACC first team, and earned an honorable mention for The Associated Press All-America team. He has until May 8 to remove his name from consideration and retain his college eligibility.
It's official. Boston's College First-Team All ACC guard has declared for the NBA draft. Jackson has tenatively put his name into consideration, but will not be hiring an agent, which leaves open the possibility of him removing his name and returning to the Eagles next season. Here's my problem. He's not ready. Reggie Jackson, at this point in his career, is not ready to play in the NBA. I get it, I really do. All his boys are graduating. Raji, Biko, Trap, Southern, those were all his boys. I get that. He doesn't want to be back next year with a bunch of snotty little freshman, but he needs one more year to prove he can be the go to guy. He's got all the talent in the world, but there were WAY too many times this year when in crunch time he wasn't demanding the ball, or WAY too many times when he'd be nonexistent for a whole half of basketball, or WAY too many times when good teams locked down on him (think Florida State, think Duke) and he just curled up in the fetal position. Reggie's got all the tools he needs to be an NBA player. He's explosive off the dribble, he can get to the bucket (only when he puts his mind to it though and decides he wants to dunk on someone rather than pussying out with a retreat dribble), he can stick the 3-ball and play either the 1 or the 2. Reggie Jackson is an NBA talent. Just not yet.

What's With This Facebook Post Goin Around?
BREAKING NEWS: The NCAA is a Joke
Four former Auburn football players claimed they received thousands of dollars of cash from boosters from a number of schools on an HBO special that airs Wednesday night, according to the website Sports by Brooks.
The players, Chaz Ramsey, Troy Reddick, Stanley McClover and Raven Gray, alleged they received money as part of a pay-for-play scheme during their time at Auburn. None played there more recently than 2007.
"Somebody came to me, I don't even know this person and he was like, 'we would love for you to come to LSU and he gave me a handshake and it had five hundred dollars in there," McClover said in the HBO special, an advance copy of which was obtained by Sports by Brooks. "That's called a money handshake ... I grabbed it and I'm like, 'wow,' hell I thought ten dollars was a lot of money back then."
McClover told "Real Sports" that boosters from Auburn, Michigan State and Ohio State also arranged for him to get money and other inducements such as sexual services when he was being recruited in 2003. He originally committed to Ohio State but switched his commitment to Auburn after receiving cash that he said persuaded him to change his commitment. On that occasion, he said the cash was delivered in a bookbag. The amount was not disclosed.
"I literally passed out I couldn't believe it was true," the HBO transcript quoted McClover as saying. "I felt like I owed them."
Fat Jokes are Hilarious
CNN- You see, I know how Kirstie feels.
It was in the late '50s that someone in my grammar school called me " a big fat pig. " At first, I did not know what these guys meant. But it did not take long to figure it out.
And what do people do when they are called a fat pig? Eat.
I was so upset that day that I went home, fixed myself three fried bologna sandwiches and opened a large bag of potato chips. And while I was stuffing my face from sadness, I tried to figure out why on earth someone would be so cruel as to call me a name of a farm animal. And that was not the only name that the guys bullied me with. They called me fat cow. Once they went outside of the barnyard into the circus tent to call me an elephant.
But none of those names bothered me as much as "pig" did. Pigs ate all day and wallowed in mud. Why, that wasn't me!
The name calling continued in high school. It accelerated to some foul language that always came before the word pig. And I tried to look like I took it all in stride and tried not to let it bother me, but it did.
Comedians have told fat jokes for centuries. And you know who laughs at fat jokes don't you? Thin people. Overweight and obese people don't laugh hysterically when they hear a fat joke. Especially now, when there are more overweight and obese people in America, fat jokes have no place in our society.
When people in a position to influence the way other people think -- people who appear on TV in front of a big audience -- ridicule someone for the way they look, they are telling everyone watching that it's acceptable to do that. And that's not funny.
Fat jokes hurt people just like they hurt me beginning in sixth grade. I think of myself as not only a teacher but as a comedian. I love to make people laugh. Now, I tell a lot of jokes, but they are mostly making fun of me.
I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Richard Simmons
HAHAHA. Fat jokes are hilarious. How can you rip on George for making a joke. It is a joke, bottom line, It's not a big deal. He's not making a personal attack. He didn't say he didn't like you as a person, he simply made a joke. He's doing his job. Get over it. If you don't like it lose weight. Weight isn't something like race or gender that the person has no control over, Kristie has complete control over her weight. Get over it Rich. Boo Hoo, no one cares that you were overweight in the 6th grade, your not going to get a sympathy vote from me because someone called you a pig, especially if you then tell me you continued to eat more. Lets take a bit of advice from Daniel Tosh:

Even Other Country's Airlines Have More Fun
This Can't be Good
By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Sports Illustrated's baseball preview picks the Red Sox to win 100 games and the World Series.
SI has the Sox topping the Yankees by eight games then beating the Athletics, Twins and Giants in the playoffs.
That all sounds reasonable. I think 100 wins is a bit high given the quality of the East. Tampa Bay will be better than many people think and the Orioles are not the walkovers they once were, Toronto is tough and obviously the Yankees have a strong team.
I like the Sox with 95 wins and the division title.
I'm confused, like did we make the playoffs last year? Look if theres one thing I know about being a red sox fan its this: never be cocky. The only time the sox thrive are when we play the "us vs the world" card all the live long day. This favorite bullshit might just bring us down. I mean who are we the Yankees?

What The Hell Is Going On With the Celts?
So Celts just lost to the Pacers, a team that is one spot worse than the Knicks, and I just can't help but wonder what Danny Ainge is doing right now. I guess the title is a rhetorical question, I mean isn't it obvious the Celtics miss Perk? Like what the fuck danny? This is so frustrating. Especially when I have to listen to Tommy Heison talk about how "oh man they just didn't shoot well," no Tommy, that's not the problem, the problem is that Nenad Kristic is a pussy down low, the O'neals haven't played a game in 8 years, KG can only do so much, and Glen Davis is 6 foot 6 inches, thus, dudes like Roy Hibbert go for 26 and 11 against us. Let's not be cute here people the Celts are getting ravaged down low, it's not even a question. The team is 9-7 since the trade and every time I look at the box score they are out rebounded, and every time I watch the game they are out toughed. It wasn't like Perk was a world beating all-star, but he was tough as hell, and could actually shut down guys in the low post and rebound a basketball. Jeff Green and Kristic are good players but they don't really play the Celtic way, at least not yet. Green actually has looked good as of late, but Kristic is just not commanding any source of a presence down low. Bottom line here is hey Danny, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Enter Wiz Khalifa (Eargasm)
One day turnaround between posts? No problem, sometimes you just have to do it for the love of the game. Today I most certainly love the game. I scour the depths of hell to find the newest and best music for you guys. I usually get a song, big or small, between three months to a year before it hits itunes or radio. A prime example would be the monster hit all the above by maino taking a full year to hit radio. Tonight’s featured song, No Sleep, took one, ONE!!!, day after I discovered it before it became #1 on itunes. Nobody slept on this gem. Ladies and Gentlemen, Wiz Khalifa, has entered the building. He has produced some gems lately like young wild and free, Hollywood hoes, roll up, and the race. I really liked those songs, but this one blows them out of the water. Tears just welling up in my eyes because its songs like this that keep the fire burning. Words can’t really describe how good this song is. I think I broke the replay button on my itunes. I feel like a proud papa. It was only a few months ago that big Wiz got busted with a five POUNDS of weed. Well his head’s gotta be in the clouds tonight after mastering his game. “Everythin is on me, the drinks are on me, the bitches, the hotel the weed is on me” No Wiz this ones on us…here’s to you Big Guy. Rollin Papers is going to be huge, make sure you get it. Enjoy Everyone, Happy Monday.
The Single Stupidest Thing I've Ever Done
Wow. Long day. I am begging, BEGGING, that someone call or text me or comment on this and offer some reassurance that this has happened to them before. So, I get to study hall to begin the 18 hours and 6 minutes of study time I have left before the Econ test to end all econ tests. I know I put a pen in my pocket when I left the room, but somehow it has vanished when I sit down to start working. I spend the next five minutes scrambling through my backpack looking for an extra to no avail. I ask the football player next to me if he has one (obviously he doesn't, I don't think football players do homework anyways). Then I ask the two sailors sitting across from me. No mas. I spend a few minutes pondering asking the study monitor if I can borrow her pen, knowing full well she's going to sass me for not bringing a pen to do homework. Maybe I can just do two hours of homework without writing? No can do, it needs to be done. I sack up and approach the desk to ask for a pen.
Me: I lost my pen. Do you have one that I could borrow please?
Study Hall Monitor: Uhmmm.... (slowly raises pointer finger upwards)
It's on my ear. Fuck me.

Is Brushing Your Teeth In O'Neill OK?
First on the toilet, now this. One of our Scene's correspondents just informed me that some chick was brushing her teeth in the O'Neill Library bathroom. There's only one obvious explanation for this right? She is getting tutored by a stud. I mean I really am spot on here people. Everyone knows library bathrooms are the most interesting animal this side of the Mississippi, and everyone knows O'Neil is no exception. But it's gotta be some hot economics tutor, like I'm talking Tom Brady with a side of Leonardo DiCaprio right that's making little miss hygiene test the waters? Girl's probably thinking, "oh damn johnny is tutoring me I better get my game up here, brush that chicken club with honey mustard from hillside right out of my mouth." I mean someone's gunna be ready when Johnny shows her just exactly where his supply curve and her demand curve meet. I say bravo to this hero, she's out here just giving 110% in the little game we call making plays. She's got her A-game up do you?

Al Skinner Ain't Happy
“Other than the fact that they wanted a change to be made, I still don’t understand,’’ said Skinner in a phone interview.
“That’s part of the business. But I look at my résumé and the success I had at BC, and I look at the résumé of some coaches who are in the tournament now, and I look at my résumé and I think it compares favorably.
“I ran a good program, I graduated my kids. Everybody has problems, but we addressed them and handled them in a matter that satisfied every one.
“At the end of the day, this is a results-oriented business. I recognize that. But I put the program in a good place. I raised the program to the level where we were always in the hunt.’’
Skinner went 247-165 in 13 years at BC, taking the Eagles to seven NCAA Tournament appearances (in a stretch of nine years). His tenure ended last March, following a 15-16 season, in what the school described as a mutual decision but was largely perceived as a dismissal. Skinner had three years left on his contract.
The year is up, and he is looking now for a job. So he comes in the papers to state his case after his contract expired. Al's a good coach and an even better guy, it all depends if he wants to work at it. He wasn't getting it done the last few years at BC, so he rightfully got fired. He can be credited for keeping the program respectable and making them a power NCAA team again, as well as transitioning them to the ACC. Al's team's did play with what he called an "edge," and that's what made them great. They played with that swagger that you need now of days to compete at a high level, and beat anyone anytime. Al, like I said, is a good man, and will end up with a good program and legacy.
How's Your Bracket?
(VCU would like to apologize for screwing up everyone's bracket in America)
Well, shit. Didn't see this coming. I mean, I guess I'll give you UConn. Somebody could've picked that one. Best player in the country, fresh off an insane run through the Big East tourney, but they had just played five games in five days, they were too young, they're freshmen weren't ready for the big stage. Nope, Final Four bound. Kentucky's got some talent. Brandon Knight is an absolute stud, but they got skimped with their seeding and weren't deep enough to make a serious run. Nope, Final Four bound. Somebody had to be this year's Butler, turns out it just happened to be Butler. An 8-seed. An 8-seed?! 8-seeds are supposed to get knocked off by the 1-seed in the second round. Nope, Final Four bound. And who's that last team that's going to Houston? Must be Duke, or UNC, or Florida, or someone else from the Big East (oh wait, that's right, the Big East sucks), right? Nope, VCU you say? Good ole Virginia Commonwealth University. An 11-seed. They weren't even supposed to be in the tournament. THEY WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE TOURNAMENT!!! Nope, Final Four bound. What a weekend for college basketball. Once again proving why March Madness is the single greatest sporting event America has to offer. A three, four, eight and eleven seed in the Final Four? I mean, I know I didn't fill out a bracket this year, but I would've lost a shitload, so I'm glad I didn't. Oh, you had Butler and VCU playing each other in the Final Four? No you didn't. Liar. I will personally pleasure anyone who shows me they had that much up. So, ladies and gents, how's your bracket?

Agudelo Compensates for USA's Messi Play
Will Agudelo be USA's next star?
ESPN- EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- At the final whistle, Juan Agudelo walked over to Lionel Messi.
"I was like, `Yeah, I'm good friends withThierry Henry,'" the 18-year-old American forward said. "I just wanted to introduce myself: Juan Agudelo."
Agudelo's 59th-minute goal gave the United States a surprising 1-1 tie against Argentina in a high-profile exhibition game on Saturday night before 78,936 at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
As much as the goal, making an impression on the planet's best player left Agudelo beaming.
"Just for him to recognize me, now that I scored against him," said the teenager, who only made the New York Red Bulls' first-team roster late last season.
Talk about confidence. This kid has it all. Watch the video and listen to his composure when talking on national television. He's unfazed. Back in the fall, he comes into the game with 7 minutes left with the USA and South Africa tied 0-0 and calmly puts away a goal poking it over the keepers head. Comes in against Chile at the 60 minute mark with his good pal Teal Bunbury. The two play a slick give and go down the middle of the field and Agudelo gets hacked in the box, setting up a PK for Bunbury. Bunbury buries it and the two proceed to dougie in front of the world.
Sure enough, last night comes and the USA is taking on perennial powerhouse Argentina. Lionel Messi was in the starting lineup and was just toying with our defenders. Half time comes and Big Bad Bob Bradley decides to sub in Agudelo and pair him up with Jozy. Great move all around. Agudelo brings energy to the front line and is capable of stringing passes together. Jozy is most effective as a holding forward with someone working off of him, which is what Agudelo was doing. Fast forward to the 79th minute and Agudelo, like always is in the right place, at the right time, and exudes confidence as he buries the off balance goal around the keeper. Tremendous finish. What's more amazing is this kid's quiet confidence. Who, as an 18 year old, walks up to the best player in the world and introduces himself? Who keeps their composure on national TV and remains modest enough to thank his parents and god? What's great is that he's grateful for the opportunity and not like many other young stars who feel like it's owed to them. This is what the United States has been lacking. Someone composed in front of the net.
Ps. Did anyone see his celebration? He must have been out here scouting 3 for a while and decided to copy his signature celebration

Wale and J.Cole takin over
Tough Friday night everyone. Heartbroken by the fact that our boys were slain on the ice in the first round of the NCAA Tourney, but keep your heads up boys we will rise from the ashes. I feel like Kenny Powers out here. I was stuck at a wedding and left you high and dry when you were expecting musical greatness. Well now I am back with a vengeance. I promise you, no donkeys, no smokebombs, no dick thrusts, just pure blogging. Now, ladies and gents, we get down to business. As mucc alerted you the other day, Wale and J.Cole are coming into town. How do I feel about this? Hold on. Yep, just went from six to midnight. Watch your step because I’m about to drop some knowledge. Wale is spitting hot fire right now and you will learn that mucc’s trepidations about J.Cole will be forgotten because he is about to take over the game. The bigger question is how the hell did the big man O.K. these wild and crazy kids for a show? He must have been confused by the fact that Wale is on the “board of mothafuckin administration”. If he thought Akon and Cudi were out of hand, Wale is going to have kids hangin from the rafters and tearing the building down! Wale’s new mixtape is straight fire. He has a weird obsession with Seinfeld snippets, but he crushes it anyway. The greatness is as follows: The problem, The MC, The war, The breakup song, The Guilty Pleasure (do it with no hands), The Motivation B Right, The power, and The Flight. That’s just off of his tape! Now, two Wale classics that just blow your mind, Pretty Girls and World Tour, are Mohammed Ali knockout punches. The Bona-fide heavy hitters by my boy Brenton Duvall. Are World Tour and Lights with my musical obsession Ellie Goulding. Turns out because of these two songs I had Brenton Duvall before I knew who he was. That is reason enough to love DC’s magic man. Mac Attack there’s more? Oh yes, 9-1-1, Wale’s masterpiece. That’s my mortal lock of the week, and your ears will be begging for more.
Now we get to J.Cole, the guy you don’t know but you are going to have to write “I will not sleep on J.Cole ever again” 100 times on the chalkboard after this post. I assume you have heard Diddy Dirty Money’s song, I’m Coming Home, with the angelic Skylar Grey singing the hook. Seriously, I would make Skylar and Ellie Goulding my wives so fast your head would spin. I would go so far as to say that you LOVE the song I’m coming home. Well like you, I too love the song, but I HATE Diddy’s version. That’s right, J.Cole made the song and should be doing 5 to 10 because he murders it. It’s so good that Diddy should question his profession. Seriously what is he famous for? I just remember Diddy changing his name four million times back in the 90’s. Puff, Puffy, P. Diddy, Sean, Sean Combs, Sean Puffy Combs, Puff Daddy. Yeah, he has his own TV show and clothing line but he is an awful musician with no memorable work. But I digress, his royal “P”ness should head for the hills with how badly he got shown up on this track. Its like J.Cole was singing Shaggy’s legendary “Wasn’t Me” and he was serenading Diddy’s woman with his instrument. Cole also makes magic with Kevin Cossom on “leave me alone”. Outside of those two songs, other greats include: Before I’m gone, Higher, and Playground. J.Cole’s lyricism is from the heart, fresh, and hot like molten lava. Cole says “I wonder if Andre Harel would know how great I would be when he fired me?” No, no he did not. This man is untouchable and will shut the building down, no question about it.

Revs vs. DC United: Davies Back to Boston
The Scenes is heading to Gillette Stadium. New England Revolution vs. DC United. Home opener for the Revs and the return of Charlie Davies to Boston. What do you do when the NFL says they're too high and mighty to play football next season? You do like Ochocinco and get behind a ragtag bunch of Major League soccer players. Ideal situation here? Our, yes, OUR New England Revolution (Yeah, I know, I don't know a single player on the team, but we're trying to get behind these guys) win something like 4-3, but Charlies Davies nets a hat trick going back to where it all began. After the game, realizing how much he misses Boston and Manchester, NH and Seacoast United (those were your glory days, Charlie), he gives United the ole eff you and demands a transfer to the Revs. Seems reasonable, right? Go Revs. Go Eagles. Welcome back #9. Hopefully we can make that whole transfer thing work out... I'll let you know how it goes.

Personal Hygiene
Let me paint a picture for you here people. So, I'm standing there at the sink in the Claver 2nd floor bathroom. Got my Crest Scope Total toothpaste, my blue and white Delta Dental toothbrush and my Neutrogena orange facewash (if you're curious I'm wearing my tight little navy blue Tommy Hilfiger briefs and furry slippers. Not really relevant, but the female viewers need a visual). Anyways, just standing there brushing my teeth and a man appears from the handicap stall, toothbrush in hand, spit in mouth and I heard what was going on in there. He wasn't peeing... I tweeted about this, but the more I thought about it the more blog worthy it became. At what point does it become okay to clean your teeth while taking a shit? Where do you draw the line? Do you not floss while cleaning up throw up? I don't get it. I was just baffled by this whole thing. I've kind of been baffled by the overall college hygienic scene. Shower, shave, brush your teeth, wash your clothes, I mean it's pretty simple, people. And I know, I know, it can get confusing. A toothbrush and toilet paper are for cleaning things, but one's working the entrance and one's working the exit, don't mix them up.

Is it Weird That I Love Chad Johnson?
First off, I know he's Ochocinco but he will always be johnson to me, dating back to that sick Oregon State team with him and Housh. But seriously is it weird that I admire the hell out of the guy? I mean I just ripped Geno Auriemma to shreds earlier because I basically said he was a pompous ass who turned all the lights on him....but yet I love Chad? Today Chad started his trial with Sporting KC of the MLS , and everyone was bashing him; his coach basically called him a lazy attention-starving prick, but I love everything about what chad has done. I mean here's a guy who, during a lockout, could be drinking sizzurp like Chris Johnson, or shooting people like Brandon Merriweather, but instead he's decided to try a different sport and have some fun with it. I guess my thing with the Ochocinco is this; I agree he comes off as a loud-mouth insufferable asswhipe, but when you watch him play, or watch him do something, he always does it with his entire heart and puts in a ton of effort into it. Hell you could play checkers with the guy and he'd give you 110%. He's not T.O, he isn't Randy Moss, he plays way harder than those guys and loves competing. Ya he loves the attention, but he backs up all his talk, and all his attention seeking behavior, with heart, competitiveness, and a little flair. I mean he's the man, and there's a reason why him and Bill Belichick get along, just both competitors. I'd play some footy with Chad, just knock it around.
The Greatest Throwback Boston Athlete of All Time
He is the single greatest athlete in Boston sports history. There is absolutely no question in my mind. He won us three Superbowls, gave way to an undefeated regular season and what I would consider the most prolific dynasty in the history of the National Football League. Ladies, ladies, put the vibrators away, it's not Tom Brady, we're talking throwbacks. It's good ole Drew Bledsoe. He's the reason the Patriots are who they are today. It was a glorious Sunday afternoon only 12 days removed from the worst day in U.S. history, but what would soon turn into the greatest day in New England history. September 23, 2001. By my calculations it was around 5:03 Eastern Standard Time. Mo Lewis (god bless your soul) laid a crunching hit on Pats quarterback, Drew Bledsoe. Out of the depths of the New England sideline walked a nobody 6th round pick from Michigan. His name was Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. And the rest, ladies and gentlemen, the rest is history.
Thank you Drew. No one takes one for the team like you do.

Just Shut Up
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, disappointed by a half-full arena for Tuesday's home NCAA tournament game, says his team's fans have been spoiled by years of the Huskies' dominance in women's college basketball.
"I think it's probably natural. I guess we need to win more," Auriemma said after UConn advanced to its 18th straight Sweet 16 with a 64-60 win over Purdue in the second round of the NCAA tournament. "Everybody loves a winner, you know."
"Maybe we should offer free parking, more giveaways," he added. "We should let some of the fans coach the team, maybe a guest coach every quarter."
Auriemma's comments came after an announced crowd of 5,729 watched the last home game of star Maya Moore's college career. That's a little more than half of the 10,027-seat capacity at Gampel Pavilion, the school's on-campus basketball facility.
UConn has won 112 of its past 113 games -- with the lone loss, on Dec. 30 against Stanford, snapping a 90-game winning streak -- and the past two Division I national championships.
"We have a spoiled group of fans who assume we are going to win, who assumed we would be in Philadelphia [for the regionals] and be at the Final Four," Auriemma said. "We had the season, the Big East in Hartford and now the NCAA tournament. You are asking them to do a lot. So I think we don't bid on [hosting the NCAA first round] for five years."

I don't think there is a more delusional, pompous, piece of shitake mushroom (you like that mrs. dunn? see what I did there?) in all of sports than Geno Aureimma. It pains me to even think this man is an Italian brother of mine. But honestly, what does Geno expect? He has developed a monopoly on the game of women's basketball (notice "game" not "sport") and he expects people to actually still watch? I have lived with UCONN people for 13 years of my life, and I can tell you that the most hardcore fans in CT are the UCONN Women's fans. They are fierce and literally I am scared of them. The only problem is they are all 50-95 year old women; and after going to every game for the past 5 years and watching their team win by 80 each game they have to say "eh I'll think i'll sit the 1st and 2nd round games against east timbuktoo U out." I mean let's be real, Women's basketball is not even that great of a product. Scratch that it is not a great product at all, and Geno is lucky to have more sellouts than the Boston College Men's team has had in it's entire existence. The poor girls at BC give tickets away and still barely get 1000 fans...and they are good. 6,000 fans aint enough for big bad Geno? Heres a thought, how bout you don't play 25 games at home, then have your conference tourney at home, and then play the ncaa tourney at home for the first two rounds.How many games do you want your fans to see? Why doesn't Geno take his monopoly out to Palo Alto and play the first two rounds on Stanford's home floor? Bottom line is Geno needs to get a grip on reality and realize he's lucky people give two shitakes about him and his team.

This is Why American Tennis Sucks
Look at Djokovic and Nadal just doing their thing on that smokeshow. 72% chance they double teamed her afterwards. People wonder why Americans can't keep up with these foreign bastards on the court? It's simple we can't dance.

Unbelievable Scene of the Day
Bill Just Being Bill
NEW ORLEANS -- Bill Belichick's absence from Tuesday's coaches breakfast at the NFL annual meeting shouldn't be about a media snub. The message has been heard loud and clear from followers of the New England Patriots: "We don't care about Belichick and his dealings with the press. Get over it!"
That's fair. Take the media out of it
Now consider the NFL head coaching fraternity. Put yourself in the shoes of the 31 other coaches who entered the Waldorf Astoria Ballroom at 7 a.m., found their reserved tables, then looked to the middle of the room over the next 75 minutes to see Belichick's table empty.
Belichick's absence at the once-a-year event fueled the perception that he views himself as bigger than the rest of the coaches. The no-show was disrespectful to his peers. So this isn't about a media snub. This is about the feeling among some coaches and executives in the league that there are "Belichick Rules" and there are NFL rules. This is why they sometimes call the league office on various issues and say, "They're not doing it in New England, so why should we do it here?"
This isn't the first time Belichick has missed a coaches breakfast. In fact, there have been some years he was a no-show for the entire NFL meetings. This year, it's a bit of a different twist. He's here but simply decided not to attend, later joking with reporters, "Sorry I missed you this morning. Alarm clock just didn't go off." When 31 other coaches are in the room and one isn't, the empty table stands out.
3 Always Wins
So, who's sick and tired about hearing about the Unbelievable Scenes' rooming situation for 2011? Oh, you are? Well, screw you. I'm not done talking about it. Going to put a little different spin on it though. Everyone knows it's a numbers game. 60% chance of an 8-man. What feels like 0% chance of CoRo, but turns out to be about 99.972% if my math is right. This week brings out the men from the boys. 64% chance of tears from a member of the rooming party, good or bad (we met our quota on both sides of the equation). Last night Rockdaddy the math wizard (102% on his last Multi-Variable-I'm-really-smart-class test) crunched the numbers and found 59 quads available. 20 with mice, 2 with flooding issues, 8 that had been vandalized and another 29 for people who recently slept with someone is ResLife. That leaves two rooms. Like I said, 99.972% chance of CoRo. You're probably saying, "Ahh, shit 3, I'm sorry, you had no chance." Oh ho ho, you are so wrong, my friends. 3 always wins. I always win. We're in room 312. Third floor, coincidence? I think not. 3/12, my birthday, coincidence? Hell no. And to top it all off? Today's March 22, 2011. 3/22 aka #3 Ryan Dunn and #22 Doug Flutie. The two greatest athletes to ever grace the Heights. Coincidence? HA. It's a numbers game ladies and gentleman, and 3 always wins.
