The Path of Least Resistance

Dick Vitale's honeymoon here at G:TB was certainly short-lived. By my count, it took 3 exposures to trigger my scream reflex, sending me ranting out loud at a defenseless broadcaster of mass media. The cause: Dickie V's unhinged and unsolicited defense of Bobby Knight in the context of Kelvin Sampson's brazen chicanery. Thankfully, My Teams are Cursed did all the exposition, saving me the time and trouble. Money quote:
Instead of talking basketball, he literally spent two hours opining on his soapbox about how Kelvin Sampson disrespected the University and should be fired while subconsciously lobbying for his friend to somehow, some way, get back to Bloomington and be the coach again.
He did the same thing on Mike and Mike this morning, to my irrational and ever-lovin' annoyance. The G:TB moral of the story: Bob Knight bad. Kelvin Sampson bad. Vitale insane and embarrassingly myopic in his single-minded defense of Knight. Welcome back, Dickie V - we hardly knew you were gone.

fyi, had anyone followed my advice on saturday, you would've seen 4 games decided in the last possession...and the william & mary game.

So wait, let me get this straight, you listen to Mike and Mike in the morning? Wow. Any way you can go back and delete that part of the post? It will help the credibility element.

The Tribe need to beat Drexel and Loyola in their next two...cause it's gonna be a tall order beating Mason and VCU to end the year.
