One more reason I'm not a handicapper!
Seriously, if you ever see my name in an ad for an 800-betting-advice-number, call the FCC to report me for fraud. In every tournament bracket I filled out, I had Georgetown in the Final Four, Memphis losing early, and UNC vs. UCLA in the title game. Wrong, wrong, and wrong!
My only excuse is that I watch so much NBA that I didn't really check out much college ball until the conference tournaments. So I believed the bad hype on Memphis, drank the UNC/UCLA Kool-Aid, and made a homer-pick with the Hoyas. If I ever get into the sports betting business, take all my picks and go the other way. You'll be able to retire in a year! Now all that being said....
Memphis will win it!
There's no stopping those guys right now. They're running everyone out of the building, and I don't see anything from Kansas that suggests they'll be able to shut them down, either. If I had the first pick in the draft, I'd take Derrick Rose, even ahead of Beasley. The man is phenomenal.
No more NFL please!
Can we please allow the NFL to go away until the draft, and then stay away until training camp opens up? I love football as much as the next guy, but this is overkill. I don't need entire segments of sports radio taken up by speculation about possible trades or signings, draft pick talk, and lamenting about the Bengals legal troubles (unless you're pointing out just how much more criminality there is in the NFL as opposed to the NBA).
It is April, and we have real games/races to talk about in the NBA, March Madness, MLB, NHL and NASCAR. I don't need to hear whether or not the Dolphins are going to trade the first pick. It's not like anything they do in the draft is going to take them from 1-5 to the Super Bowl.
