What a fantastic final game last night's Duke-Butler contest turned out to be--you almost could sense from the start that it would be tight. I kept waiting for Duke to put them away, and well, they never did. That final shot clanging off the rim was the first time in the game I thought Duke had a defensible lead. Wonderful.
Also, my traditional hometown football team--the Philadelphia Eagles--have traded their aging, injury prone quarterback (yes--Donovan McNab is both of those things) to the Washington Redskins. For some reason, people here in the DC Metro region think this is a good thing. I think it is yet again, a sign of Danny Snyder's incompetence. But what do I know.

One of the best finals ever! Butler was scrappy and opportunistic, just a tough group of kids. The game reminded me of Duke/Kentucky back in '92. I hated to see either side lose.
But take heart CW, UVA gets the same payday as Duke (the check is in the mail).
Kind of wished I didn't watch the first 39 minutes of that game. I didn't think it was possible for a close national championship game to be that boring. With that being said, I thought Gordon had it. Tough way to lose. Congrats to Gordon and Coach Stevens for a hell of a run.
I think Coach Stevens was the most interesting figure in the entire tournament--not JUST his age--which is incredible to me--but his demeanor.....I cannot even conceive of being that cool under pressure.
And welcome to the blog, Mark. You have many fans here.
McNabb leaving the Eggles and Redskins forgetting that they have no offensive line just looks like another year that the Cowboys will dominate the NFC East.
Think you're right, CCE....
