\"Duke Starting to Dominate\"
 

Enough with the ballwashing from the ESPN announcers. This was said as Duke scores to go ahead 57-56 with 11 minutes to go in the game.

Re: \"Duke Starting to Dominate\"
 

Not only does JJ Redick score and cover the other team's best scorer, he plays nearly every minute! Also, he cured cancer during that timeout!

No one cares that you hate Duke, no one cares that you think the announcers give them preferential treatment, no one thinks your original or that this was such a revolutionary idea that you had to quick rush to the computer and wipe off your greasy little fingers in a fury to make your "briliant" insult. OMG Duke is always good and always gets good players so I'm gonna hate them. Have some repressed feelings left over from when you were young and were always the last kid picked?

nice rebuttal?

"They're saying it was a 2, but it doesn't matter, it was unbelievable!"

Yes, it does matter. A 3 would have made it a two possession game. Pay attention to the game.

Edit: Please point to one other anti-Duke point by me. I just think that was a completely ignorant comment by the announcers.

whoa.

Re: \"Duke Starting to Dominate\"
 

they are too busy hanging from JJ's sack

Re: \"Duke Starting to Dominate\"
 

That was a lame ending.

Re: \"Duke Starting to Dominate\"
 

Are you questioning the partialness of Mike "never done a non Duke game in my career" Patrick? What did you expect? May as well paint his face, he is pathetic.

I agree, Mike Patrick is unbearable to listen to during Duke games. He somehow manages to be 100X worse than Vitale.

I actually like listening to Mike Patrick now solely for comedic reasons. He is so unbelievably bad that he's great on the unintentional comedy scale.

Have you heard him call a game for Georgia Tech when Schenscher was on the team? It was hilarious. There was a play where Jarrett Jack made an amazing pass to Schensherer, who got an easy layup. Patrick: "What an unbelievable play by Schenscher! He does it all! And from what I hear, he's quite the man with the ladies. Gotta love that Aussie charm." WTF?! He lives to lick the ball sweat off Schenscher.

I've decided McDonough/Bilas/Raftery should do every game of every tournament. Make that every sport. It can be three games at once, I don't care, they're that good compared to all these other hacks.
"The kiss denied....you'd know something about that Sean McDonough".

I mean seriously though, Bilas went to Duke and he's ok...why can't Patrick/Vitale at least pretend to be half as objective?

I have the March Madness package on DirectTv, so I've listened to every broadcast team that CBS runs out the past two years. Raftery and Bilas are the two best anyalists by far. They are always the two that the sound stays on. I get real depressed when it gets to the final four and I have to put up with Billy Packer. Half the time the final four ends up on mute.

Dook is Dook. Dey're on tv more dan leeve it to beever reeruns.....

Seriously though, maybe the dumbest thing I've ever heard Patrick say was during the last Duke-FSU game, which FSU won. At one point, Patrick commented on the referrees after a call went against Duke, claiming this was proof that the whole Duke bias was a myth. This is after the referree crew that did the 1st Duke-FSU game was suspended because they did such a horrible job, in favor of Duke. lol

Insightful article by Stewart Mandel on si.com...here is an excerpt:

That's because the Blue Devils' dirty little secret is this: For all the star power in their lineup, they're not overly athletic. With the exception of senior guard Sean Dockery and inconsistent freshman Josh McRoberts, there is no Chris Duhon, Daniel Ewing or Jason Williams out there locking down opposing playmakers. Instead, it's the half-step-too-slow trio of Redick, Greg Paulus and Lee Melchioni.
