John Paul Jones Arena Not Mike Krzyzewski's Milieu

Ambassador Worm

I was just in one of those pharmacy places a bit ago to buy a pack of smokes. One of the clerks in the place is an aged bag named Chris. She's terribly slow checking folks out. As I was standing there for 2 or 3 minutes while Chris took forever to help some middle-aged redneck broad, I became a little irritated. I'm impatient. So, just to fuck with old Chris the Clerk at the pharmacy, when it was finally my turn to be helped I threw her a 5 spot and said, "I need 5 bucks on pump 3."

Urgent Score Update from Charlottesville, VA: UVA 73 Duke 68. Yet another debacle for the Devils. Some white kid named Joe Harris went off on the vaulted Duke defense to the tune of 36 points in the contest. I will give Coach K some credit, as instead of sitting there looking comatose, as he has so often in recent years, Coach Kry was super animated, trying in vain to rally his boys. It didn't work. Duke was soft. Mason Plumlee was pushed around like a rag doll under the boards. Again. The Devils have lost 4 games this year. Each time the winning team stormed the court. I'm not sure why UVA students decided to do so last night, as the Cavaliers were favored by a point. And you should never storm the court when you win as a favorite. It's stupid. In a post-game press conference, the coach of the Duke's men's basketball team complained about students storming the court and how dangerous it is for him and his poor fragile players. And that smacks of sour grapes. It's very simple for the coach who resembles Hitler, if you don't want hammered drunk kids from UVA  rushing the court after you lose, that's understandable. There's an easy solution for Duke to this frenzied court rushing that worries Coach K so much, that is: don't lose to the Virginia Cavaliers. It's that simple.

Lots of talk in the news about something called a sequester. Our dear leader, one Barack Hussein Obama, has been running his mouth about how terrible this sequester deal will be on the American people. I'm not sure how any reasonable person could take Barry seriously on this. Nothing is being "cut" with this sequester. All it does is slow the rate of growth that Congress spends at. This talk about pain being inflicted on average folks resulting from this sequester is a bunch of nonsense. Pay no attention to it.

Speaking of dear leaders, my main main man Dennis Rodman was over in North Korea this week to hang out with my favorite young dictator, Kim Jong Un. Young Kim is a huge Chicago Bulls fan from back in the 90's when he was a kid. I've noted before on this blog that Un's favorite Bull was none other than Toni Kukoc. Anyway, word has leaked that Rodman and Un became fast friends. Who would have ever thought that it would take Dennis Rodman to thaw relations between North Korea and the old USA? Unbelievable. It might be Rodman's greatest moment since he won Celebrity Mole 2. And as I've noted before, Rodman winning Celebrity Mole 2 is the most amazing achievement in the history of western civilization. Hands down.

I mentioned some college hoops news earlier in this post, and here we are in March with plenty of huge games on the docket this weekend. Tonight features a massive game in the Ivy League, as the Crimson of Harvard travel to Jersey to take on the Princeton Tigers. Harvard will pretty much lock up the Ivy title with a win. Of note is that the Crimson are a 6 point dog tonight. I'm gonna roll with the boys from Cambridge. They beat the Tigers by 12 in their last meeting. Note that the game is on ESPNU tonight at 7. Tomorrow features so many great matchups that it will be hard to keep up with them all. Louisville/Syracuse, Arizona/UCLA, Butler/VCU, & Notre Dame/Marquette highlighting the day. There's also that big game in Durham where Duke will be looking for revenge from the 27 beat down they took in Coral Gables against Thug U. My guess is that Duke will be favored by 6. Enjoy.

Your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
