I heard one guy say during the Duke game just now, "Well it looks they're going to reset the clock to 3 seconds, which is critical for Belmont because under 3 seconds you can't turn and shoot, it has to be a tip-in"<BR/>3 seconds is an eternity in a basketball game you idiot, it's under 3 TENTHS of a second that the rule says you can't catch then shoot. The Belmont player had time to catch the ball, take 2 steps and still put up a pretty decent attempt, although it fell short.....dammit. Our regular regional announcers would never have made a blunder like that, and they actually have an extensive knowledge of the teams and players they are talking about.<BR/>You must get serious baseball people calling games there and so have a lower tolerance for mediocre game analysis. I often hear those 2 say stuff I think is stupid, but I'm used to it because that's all we ever get here.<BR/>BTW - the Duke/UNC rivalry is the ONLY thing that comes close to Yankees/Red Sox, which is still very much alive and well, as Jere confirmed so decisively recently.SoSockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982944966573089279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-52540213616343093012008-03-20T16:38:00.000-07:002008-03-20T16:38:00.000-07:00The title of this post cracks me up every time.

I guess I'd be pissed, too. You'd think MLB would...nah, scratch that.<BR/><BR/>Article also says Valentine, back in '05, proposed his Japanese champion team play the champion White Sox in Hawaii. I never knew that. MLB should get on that. A real World Series. <BR/><BR/>Wow, me agreeing with Bobby Valentine twice in one day....Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-81232202181911627292008-03-20T15:55:00.000-07:002008-03-20T15:55:00.000-07:00I like the comment that he ate at just a hole in t...I like the comment that he ate at just a hole in the wall, but it was the best he'd ever had.<BR/>Probably much like pizza in NY.
