Anyone watching the tournament outside of Missouri or Tennessee last night missed one of the best games of the tournament. No one got to see the game until CBS finally decided that their favorite sons, the Blue Devils, were hopelessly out of the game. Shameful to have missed such a good college basketball game while they pander to the Dukies.

Speaking of, here is an idea for CBS. In the first and second rounds, start the games 30 minutes apart. There is no need to have the games all start at the exact same time, thus ensuring that you won’t get to see other games and resulting in a mad flipping between games at the end while Greg Gumblecakes pronounces the names of the cities where they are taking place wrong. (Shi-CAUG-ow) How has it taken so long to come up with this? It will allow for more people to see more games, and should not cut down on the valuable commercial time. In fact, if done right, it should increase it. Not to mention they could increase viewership because it will fit the different time zones better. Consider that free advice CBS.

Tonite we are in store for more pandering. If Coach K is CBS’s favorite son, Blake Griffin their cousin. He annoys me and here’s why. When you watch him, he allegedly keeps getting “undercut” because he goes up for rebounds without his legs under him, and he leans over people. The other players are either going to undercut him, or he’s going to fall down. But either way, he’ll get the call. He also constantly grabs people and falls down, drawing fouls, and making them look bad.

The announcers of course miss that fact. The common announcer call is “Oh wow, Blake Griffin sure is taking a beating!” When they should say, “Oh wow, Blake Griffin just ran up and jumped into a heap of well positioned players and fell down.”

Finally, if he hung on the rim in my face and dangled his mouth guard out of his mouth like he does against everyone, I would undercut him so bad that he broke both his arms.

He is also the player that they constantly have to show his parents on tv each time Oklahoma does something good, bad, or insignificant in any way. And look at his parents. His mom is a big time ginger and his dad looks like Montel Willaims.

Don’t believe me? Here is a drinking game you can play tonite. Each time Griffin ends up on the floor, take a drink. Each time they show his parents, take a shot. You better have plenty of booze on hand, you will be wasted by halftime.
