Any b-ball fans out there? Who's your favorite team? Personally I'm a Duke fan. (This should cause some reaction.) By the way, what the hell is a Tar Heel and why is their mascot a goat?

It will be interesting to see if the Tar Heels win it all since Hansbourgh came back for his final season.
Funny how these certain guys are so great in college, like Hansbrough, who you know will suck as pros, i.e. Tim Tebow, Gino Torreta, Adam Morrison, etc.
Guess I'd like to see UNC win...always good to watch Duke lose.
I've been saying for years, while Monday Night Football has been changing it's team every year, that the one guy they've kept through all the changes is the problem: Al Michaels. The guy is just clearly bored by the games. He doesn't even want to talk about them. He wants to talk about the owners, the front office guys, Wall Street, and even more than any of those, the horse track.
Mike Patrick is the guy ESPN should've picked for play-by-play when they bought MNF. He clearly loves the games and really gets into them. Tirico is good, but Patrick is better.
I don't know how Michaels gets work. He's coasting on his reputation.
To me, the perfect MNF booth would be Patrick and Cris Collinsworth, who breaks the game down better than anybody and always has relevant football points (as opposed to points about six-legged turkeys or horse tracks or whatever).
As for a Tar Heel do you really want the history lesson or were you just being a smart@ss?
For color guys, I still really like both Paul Maguire and Dan Dierdorf. Neither of them is a super-genius at breaking down the modern game, but they're both football guys, and Maguire just cracks me up. It's hard not to have fun watching the game when he's having so much fun calling it.
