Final Bore?

Welcome back for another installment of "I can't get back that 10 minutes of my life". If you hadn't heard, the final four has descended upon Houston this week. Typically this time of the year, we are wondering how Cinderella could keep the party going just one more game and possibly win the whole thing. This year, Cinderella brought her sister (and I'm not talking about Spinderella from salt-n-pepa). Every few years we see a non-powerhouse college make it to the final four, but seeing 1/2 of the final four represented by the likes of Butler and VCU brings about the obvious point. The talent in college basketball is more watered down than a happy hour shot of patron at the bowling alley. Butler was a Cinderella team last year, lost their ONLY NBA worthy player to the draft....and made it back? How's that possible? People were ready to boycott the tournament behind the fact that VCU aka the last team selected, made the tournament and now they are in the semifinals. Realistically, I think the winner of the Uconn/Kentucky game will dominate them in the championship game. However, I will be pulling for the "right" side of the bracket and hope vcu/butler can keep the glass slipper on 1 more night and win the whole thing. Then maybe the NBA and NCAA will finally do what's best for the quality of both leagues and change the NBA eligibility requirements from 1 to 2 years minimum of college. Until then, every NBA draft reminds me of Chris Rock's line after showing up to a bar late at night.... "I feel sorry for those guys who gotta pick a wife outta this bunch."

Side note, if anybody is keeping up with Dancing with the stars, shoot me a message when Ralph Maccio breaks out the crane. Either that or when another contestant decides to sweep the leg! 20 to 1 that one of those will happen.


I leave you with this finish of a foreign basketball game I saw a week or so ago. I have so many questions after watching this. Was his son playing? Did he have money on it? Did he NOT have a co-announcer? Would he have had anything left if the game went into OT?
