"What a Clown" - Larry Drew gets on MIC, disses Tar Heel

I thought I had heard it all of the Miami Heat's coach calling out his players for crying (not owt), but how about Larry "you're not missed" Drew II going off on his fellow team in a...RAP, you got to be kidding.

Big ups to my colleague KL for sending this to me.  WRAL (click title) has the full article.

See the lyrics to his diss below.   If one didn't know any better, you would think he was a Puke fan...

He could have at least came stronger than that and talked about how he how much he turned the ball over, his dad's influence kept him in the starting the lineup, how Kendall Marshall was probably busting his a** in practice everyday, how his jump shot never improved, and how he didn't get a long with his teammates (ok, so I made that one up), but who cares...you're suppose to kick a person down when they are in a slump, not when they've lost one game since you left the team.

Drew even took the stage and did a freestyle on the mic.

Everything that I'm hearing is untrue. The media? They talking but they never confront you.

I mean the last three years I can't undo, but now I'm making all the moves I want to.

Pick & rolls, I'm crossing [expletive]. Just felt like I got more game than my height showed.

They tried to tell me just to play my role, but who's really trying to stick to a script that's filled with typos?

Like a horror flick, they made me out to be a monster. [expletive] [expletive], I should have won an Oscar.

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sing, right? I brought the whole opera.

It's like Biggie, 'who shot ya?' But who who shot them? I'm so not them, but in the end I think that's what really shocked them.

I refuse to be another robot, slim.

"See it Through" - College Football Games of the Week

...And we (UNC Football) will do just that.  College football is back in a big way although many UNC fans including myself would have preferred being in the news for reasons other than academic improprieties or agent funny business.  One of my favorite poems says that "when you're up against a trouble, meet it squarely face to face..." and I applaud Butch Davis and Chancellor Holden Thorpe for doing just that. 

<-------OSII (LOL at the pic)

I'm back for another year of college football picks.  Last year I was a few games over 500..."ugh", I have to do better.  5 games a week...including UNC and a HBCU for kickers.  Join me in a few weeks for a full slate of games!

This Week

No. 21 LSU vs. No. 18 North Carolina
I've been waiting for this game for over a year now.  I'm a bayou (bengal) boy at heart with deep Louisiana ties, but I bleed Carolina blue. Like the purple and gold (ROO!) for a number of reasons, but I'm tarheel bred.  With suspensions looming, I still expect this game to live up to the hype. I'm not sure if I agree with ESPN who indicated that UNC needs its best players to beat LSU...it may be just the other way around.  I'll be there in person to see it for myself...UNC 23-21

3 Boise State vs. 10 Virginia Tech
My vote is for BSU to join the SEC or the Big 12...that way we can guage how good they really are.  Yeah, I said it.  Why should I believe in them when the BCS don't.  If Williams is still the running back from Va Tech and Taylor is the quarterback, hookies has a chance, as long as they both don't fumble the ball...VaTech 31-24

March Sadness, Bracketology, and the Winner Is...

I don't even know why I'm doing this to myself.  I'm not sure I'll be watching a lot of basketball but here is what I'm hoping doesn't happen...PUKE WINNING IT ALL, and I'm confident they won't  Therefore I had to fill out a bracket and here is what I have region by region for the bloggers and those of you who care!

East

Sleeper: Marquette, not really a sleeper, but with a 6th seed they may do a lot of damage.


Upset Special: #12 Cornell over #5 Temple.  They can play ball too!

Team to Beat:  Kentucky is the team to beat, too many weapons plus everyone's doing the john wall dance!  More links below.

Midwest


Sleeper:  N. Iowa/  They are 28-4 for a reason.  Tough draw for Kansas if they meet in 2nd rd.


Upset Special:  #13 Houston over #4 Maryland. Vasquez plays for the fans instead of his team. Houston is hot right now after going through the entire C-USA in their conference tournament.


Team to Beat:  Georgetown, Greg Monroe can do it all and the hoyas has what UNC lacked this year...SHOOTERS.

South

Sleeper:  Richmond will be a tough draw for Villanova.  I see them getting to the sweet 16

Upset Special:  I will be smiling when Louisville rips Duke apart in the 2nd rd.  #13 Siena over #4 Purdue

Team to Beat:  Baylor, the PG Carter has mad skills plus they have a shot blocker down low.  In and out game will be tough to stop, that is if Carter plays within himself.  He's short and he wears #45, you got to love that. 

West

Sleeper:  UTEP, little short guard name Culpepper jacks em like Kobe, but he makes them.  If he plays unselfish, they could meet Syracuse in sweet 16.

Upset Special:  #11 Minnesota over #6 Xavier
Team to Beat:  This is probably the weakest bracket with two teams (florida and florida st) who shouldn't have made it with at large bids.  Syracuse is my pick.  The first team to whip UNC back in MSG earlier in the season.  Thanks, thanks a lot.

Final Four:  I have Syracuse and Georgetown playing for the 4th time this year with Syracuse winning and Kentucky versus Baylor (how ironic), who thought they had the inside track of getting John Wall after they hired one of his family members or close associates.  Pay back will not be in order.

Winner:  Kentucky over Syracuse and off go Cousins and J. Wall to the NBA doing that love to hate muscle flex dance.  Some people just don't know when to stop.  Please click on all links and enjoy.

And these are my picks, who do you have?
