Let me ask you something Met fans: who would you rather have running your team at this point? O’Reilly may not make the Mets any better, but surely he’d be able to spin the Willie Randolph firing and Carlos Beltran surgery far better than any spin Minaya and company came up with. Maybe he could even explain why Reyes had thyroid problems after visiting a doctor linked to HGH and why David Wright managed only 10 home runs last year. It’ going to be a long season, Mets fans, and maybe O’Reilly is just the guy to spin it into something positive.
Alternate post:
No spin zone? How about no win zone? Yeah, I think I like that a bit better. Mets!
Frank Martin is the head coach on Kansas State. He also things he is the toughest guy going. Guy wears a three piece suit and tries to intimidate referees with his stare. Well, he wasn’t very successful this weekend because his Wildcats lost to Butler in the Elite 8.
Frank Martin was an understudy of Bob Huggins, so does this come as any surprise? For those of you who do not know, Martin was involved in an incident during the year where he hit a player during a timeout. It wasn’t horrific but it was still something that is a big no-no for college coaches.
How many times did the camera find Martin in a staredown of a player or referee? This guy’s ego must be out of this world. Unfortunately, he’s got K-State on the map, so this isn’t the last time we’ve seen this d-bag in the 3-piece.
Honestly, is there anyone on Earth who likes this guy?
According to the California Highway Patrol, Joey was driving in a Taco Bell parking lot in Bakersfield — his home town — when a friend of Joey’s was was stopped by police.
According to officials, Porter pulled up near the action – too close apparently — because a CHP officer rolled over to his car, where he detected the smell of alcohol coming from Porter’s car.
Cops say the officer asked for Porter’s driver’s license, but he refused to hand it over. … instead, officials say, the 33-year-old tried to roll up his window.
Cops say the officer tried to reach in the car to manually unlock the car — and that’s when Porter “slapped” the officer’s hand away.
According to the CHP, the officer decided to grab Porter’s arm — and that’s when things got crazy. Porter allegedly got out of his car “in a confrontational manner.”
The officer claims he drew his pistol and ordered Porter to the ground, but he wouldn’t comply — though he did ultimately agree to place his hands behind his head.
Additional officers were called to the scene to aid in the arrest. Porter was eventually taken in to custody and booked at a nearby jail. He was eventually charged with 3 misdemeanors — DUI, resisting arrest and assault on a peace officer.
Have fun with this asshole, Arizona. He’s like the Kanye West of the NFL. I’m disgusted that he and I have something in common, even if it is a penchant for late night Taco Bell when wasted.

This weekend the dogs were biting in the NCAA tournament. It’s already been a topsy-turvey tourney, so this shouldn’t come as any surprise.
In the first game of the weekend, Butler imposed it’s defensive will on Kansas State. The Bulldogs were 5 point dogs before the game started.
In the Saturday night game, big bad Kentucky was dismantled by West Virginia. This was the shocker of the weekend seeing Kentucky was the odds on favorite to win the title. The line closed as Kentucky -4.5. West Virginia was up by 15 at one point in the game, until they couldn’t make a foul shot.
In the first game on Sunday, Michigan State showed the size of their heart by hanging on vs. Tennessee. This line was only 2 points, but Michigan State was a dog nonetheless.
In the last game on Sunday, Duke was the only favorite to handle their business. Thanks to Nolan Smith and a bozo technical foul.
“I keep getting older, they stay the same age.” Honestly that still remains one of the best quotes of all time. Sure it might have been referring to high school girls but clearly it applies to the college crowd as well.
Seriously man, I don’t know what they’re putting in the water over at Texas Tech but for the last 3 years the cheerleading squad over there has remained top of the class.
I’m very excited about this team. Very excited.

For the first time in six years, the team that everyone – except me – loves to hate is back in the Final Four. Duke outlasted a very tough Baylor team yesterday, which is amazing considering Kyle Singler A.K.A. Cain from Poltergeist II was 0-10 from the field. It was really Duke’s backcourt of Scheyer and Smith that did just about all the damage, and if you watched the game, you’d probably agree with me that Duke’s bigs should have been ashamed of themselves. Baylor’s Udoh sent back 5 shots all by himself (Duke combined to block zero shots), most of them pathetic efforts by Duke’s frontcourt. It just goes to show that in March Madness, guard play rules all. Singler’s not going to have another game as abysmal as this one, so if Scheyer and Smith can keep this up, there’s no reason Duke can’t beat anyone. Who’d of thunk that the last #1 seed remaining would be Duke?
By the way, my favorite player on Baylor – just for his name – is LaceDarius Dunn. LaceDarius. Yeah, I know a lot of guys named LaceDarius. I’m pretty sure that’s my accountant’s first name.
I still watch this video at least once a month. And I still laugh my ass off every single time.

By now, there shouldn’t be any surprises in the tournament. I guess ‘Cuse didn’t learn from Kansas because they came out as flat as flat can be. Unfortunately, I am going to have to eat a big helping of crow if Kentucky continues to dominate.
