Go Owls! - The Boss Button - Hypocrisy 101
While I take a break from speed skating for the next month, and look forward to the Yankees next championship season opening up in two weeks (that’s right, they’re bringing the title back to where it belongs), the next few days will be clouded with the likes of ”bracket busters”, “cinderellas”, “office pools” — that’s right, the NCAA Tournament is here!!!
As a Temple University graduate, I’m proud to see that my school is back in the Tourney! After winning the Atlantic 10 Championship, the Owls enter the tourney with a seven game winning streak and they’re poised to take down Michigan State (and believe me, watching anyone beat a Big Ten school is music to my ears…) I understand that I live in the heart of it, but one can only listen to Big Ten babble so much…
Below are two good articles about the tournament. Dan Wetzel is one of the better writers for Yahoo! Sports (in my opinion). He’s rarely biased and usually gets creative with his writing. First article, talks about ”The Boss Button” - I have to find this thing!!! The second article hits on a topic that should be screamed out loud during every game of the tournament… college players that leave school with no education, and no hope for a job if they don’t make it in the pros. The TV stations get rich, the schools get rich, the coaches get rich… the players - well, hope you make it kid. The NCAA preaches about student-athletes, yet very few graduate with an education.
My predictions:
Final Four: Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, UCLA
Championship: Kansas beats UCLA
Go Temple!!!

Go Blue? That’s pretty vague.
Nice name… I’ll let you stay anon.
But are you sure you didn’t mean “Dizzy”

Dude you are delusional. The Red Sox are a dynasty now and the Yankees are just wasted $$$. Yankees will not win another World Series for 99 years. A-Rod was finally outed as the fraud that he is. Wife Cheating steriod using billionaire. It’s great to be a RED SOX fan these days.

That dynasty was lucky to not start the season 0-2… damn that Huston Street.
They’re all on roids, including your beloved Red Sox… Nomar, Mo Vaughn, Varitek, Gagne (signed be Theo all the while knowing he was a roid-freak). Either way, he still hit the most in the league last season, and probably will do so for years to come.
The real tragedy will be when he hits the new record setting homer, while wearing pinstripes, if it’s not in that ancient dump called Fenway Park.
