The Luther Vandross Version
Published 4/7/2009 by CAPS LOCK CARL at Cubicle GM
So I had a realization last night at about 10PM, only a few hours before Tarheel fans risked third-degree burns in celebration and just an hour into Jim Nantz’s desperate effort to figure out where Billy Packer was , that I did not have to wait through a horribly boring basketball game just to see the annual “One Shining Moment” video. We have this thing called YouTube now, so here it is if you fell asleep on the couch, too: Every year I ask myself why I stay up through at least four unnecessary, shameless commercials and at least 10 minutes of Gumble to Gumble just to see ...

The False Dichotomy Of Advanced Statistics
Published 3/3/2009 by Eamonn Brennan at MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog
Today, Henry Abbott has statistics on the brain: When people say things belittling statistics, quietly, inside, my inner counselor gets cranked up: “It’s OK. You can admit you don’t understand them. I don’t understand a lot of them either.” Because there is not a person on the face of the planet who both understands the sophisticated analysis of basketball and thinks it’s a fad.

"But the difference in the game was the technical foul on our fans." Hat tip: Yahoo's college basketball blog
