The Esherant

After the Hoyas’ overtime victory against West Virginia last Saturday, a tall white guy, eyes burning and voice cracking, told the MCI Center pressroom how he truly felt:

“For the referees in our league, and for our league, and for the adults that run our league to expect Mike Sweetney to put up with the contact that he has to put up in the post when he goes up to shoot, and to put up with the contact he has to absorb and deal with and be happy about and not have a referee call a foul, and then [to have] that same 20-year old watch our perimeter people guard people … and get called for hand-checking every time we put our hands on somebody else is just absolutely, absolutely crazy.

Playoffs payoff

Unless you’ve been stuck on a deserted tropical island, it has been impossible to miss the super-suave Don Cheadle in the NFL Playoffs spots that have been airing lately.

Mommy told me to go into my cold room where the windows never close and simply concentrate on the inside of my eyelids with my hands slapped together. She told me to close my eyes as hard as I could so tears can gather in a tight place in my eyes. She told me to wait until the tears dripped at gaining speeds on my clasped hands just from my deep concentration.
