You'd have to sip it through your eye hole. Duke vs UNLV? Go Dukies!

I tweeted Amin after a game last season where I commented that it would be nice if he said who the foul is on and what # foul that is on the player, instead of talking about fashion (which is what they were doing at the time). His response was basically - who cares how many fouls? It was a blowout. We need to talk about something when the game isn't interesting. Give me back D&D, with Rebecca on sideline.

If Amin has that little respect for WCBB,when he says who cares,then he shouldn’t be there. The lack of respect seems to me to be an ESPN attitude..

I don't think Amin knows what he's talking about most of the time and Rebecca and Kara (who know better - or should) encourage him. But as bad as the three of them were yesterday, we (Boneyarders) are not their intended audience. ESPN has them reaching out to entertain the casual fan who will watch UCONN/ND because of the hype and may not watch another WCBB game until the Final Four. When you realize that - then there is no point in judging them harshly. They're just doing the job they're paid to do!

As viewers, however, we can legitimately ask if it’s the job the media ought to be doing. I keep hearing, “It’s a business,” but as part of society, doesn’t it have a responsibility to meet its information as well as it’s profit-making obligations (which it meets by simply being an entertainment and advertising business).

Sorry, there's no excuse for not keeping viewers updated on what's going on on the court. Everyone needs to know who committed a foul, how many fouls on certain players, etc. They can take a moment and let people know what's going on, and still have plenty of time to blabber.

Every time Deb A does a game you seem to catch the ref explaining a situation to her a few times a game so she can pass it on to the viewers.

I actually tweeted Adam after the game that I was going to rewatch the game and every time he said "true freshman" or "true road game" I was going to drink and that he should expect drunk tweets. He responded with a thumbs up. I like him a lot.

Did he call you a true fan?

Mute the TV and listen to Bob Joyce on the radio. It's not perfectly in sync, but Bob won't babble.

What, you can't wait a few @$%#&@g days?
