Real Talk Tuesdays: NCAA Championship

I love college basketball. It's one of my biggest passions. About this time each year I have what I refer to as the "College Basketball Hangover". The season is done. A champion has been crowned. Only this year's game has me thinking that the fix is in.

In the closing minutes of a very tight game, a plethora of calls (or no-calls) went Duke's way. Basically insuring the win. And almost every single incident involved Duke's Justise Winslow. It's like the refs were getting kick-backs to boost his draft stock. 

Here are some of the more outrageous plays in question. Disgusting. Good game, Wisconsin. 

 

Don't like this call. How do you defense this otherwise? Would have been Winslows 4th

Madhouse Mondays: Alligator Girl

This is fake as hell but that doesn't make me wanna watch it any less. 

Real Talk Tuesdays: Mad Men

Two things.....A) we're pulling the plug on cable this week. I've done this several times throughout my life but this is our first as a family. Cable is overpriced and tends to be a waste of time. We'll see what happens when football season comes back around but for now I'm all about this. This also means that I've watched my last episode of Mad Men during it's original broadcast time - which leads me to B) what the hell was "The Crash" all about? When it started to distort I felt a Twin Peaks vibe (which I'm all for) but in the end it felt more like Lost (not a good thing). Let's get back to shagging secretaries and pitching great ideas. Although, I did dig the Ken Cosgrove dance.
