From Archer to Digger Phelps to the Ice Man

Because 'series premiers' have aired since my last post, I have not had a chance to really write. I think exams and the NCAA tourney are also partially to blame as well. . . I've only entered one bracket into contest--5$, and the winner buys a keg for everyone and collects the extra winnings. Its a win-win situation. As of right now I'm only sort of screwed--Georgetown lost who i had going to the final 16--and I took a lot of big east teams who lost. Right now I'm rooting for Baylor, Kansas, Kansas St., West Virginia, and Temple. So far so good with the exciting tourney...as of right now I'm uninterested in Dicky V's picks, but more intrigued by the buzz-kill of Digger Phelps, and the dry-eraser-board picks of President Obama [yawwnnn] Obama is always right with his pick for the national champion but butchers ev-ery sin-gle upset I urge everyone who respects Doug Gottlieb's opinion to youtube him wearing his shorts backwards during a televised game for A & M, but then you have to watch Doug's alley-oop gift to desmond mason. On a different note, the new season of South Park, the premiere of Justified, and season finale of Archer have aired since my last post . . . Archer is absurb but awesome, Justified is cool and serious, while the new South Park is...well..the new south park I feel that what makes Justified good is the 'handle' everyone has with their gun. The show is like a continual mexican stand-off, but the cool thing is that the sheriff (Tim Olyphant, or the porn-mogul from The Girl Next Door) only pulls his gun after the criminal does. He is quicker, smarter, cooler, and better dressed than everyone. My favorites so far in the NCAA tourney:
  • Jimmer Fredette's name, and his mormon-white-men-cant-jump-persona dropping 37 points
  • the recurring point that a particular upset pick is 'sexy' or 'trendy'

Just a few more wikipedia-esque, open-ended questions: Who has better stats this season--Jason Kidd or Steve Nash? What are the specific stats of the 'big pick up' Richard Jefferson for the season? Who is more valuable--Richard Hamilton or Ray Allen? Which team is more successful in their pursuit of history--The 09-10 NJ Nets or the 95-96 Chicago Bulls.

Finally, whose overall he-got-game-persona most closely resembles the "Ice Man"--Kevin Durant. or George Gervin?
