NCAA BRACKETOLOGY - PART III

I'm hopelessly out of the money on both of my brackets uh, our brackets, and so I'm on a desperate search for cover bets to make back the money quick.



At the moment I'm considering the over/under on the length of time it takes Bobby Knight to choke the living shit out of of one his new ESPN "colleagues". Now I'm confident that fellow coaches Digger Phelps and Dicky V. are safe. He'd never go postal on those guys. Even Jay Bilas appears safe, but only by the grace of Knight's respect for Coach K.







Oh please God, if you could possibly arrange it, even though I think Rece Davis is pushing his luck a little bit and is certainly a viable candidate, please, please, please God let it be freaking Doug Gottlieb. Please, it's just so right, he stole while he was at Notre Dame, under the shadows of Touchdown Jesus. And he has Eddie Musters' hairline for God's sake. Oops, sorry about that one.







If you could arrange for Rece to have a case of strep throat, or laryngitis or whatever it takes.



Then you'll have to arrange for ESPN management to be stupid enough to consider putting Gottleib and Knight in the same studio.



What, that's not such a stretch, God?



ESPN is stupider than even you could imagine? HAHAHA. Wow, that's saying something because you've seen everything.



No, no I believe you. In fact, it doesn't surprise me at all.



And no, I haven't forgot about the Giants and the Super Bowl, but really I didn't ask for that and it did kinda fit in with your campaign against evil. What, you have me down for a prayer received by your staff right before the David Tyree catch? And another one right before the Plaxico Burress TD catch to put the Giants ahead? Well yeah, I remember those now, sure but...oh all right, I guess those count too.



















OK, I promise I won't ask you to do anything for the Cubs. They can wait another century or so, right?



OK, so I have the under on Knight to choke the living shit out of a colleague.



The next one have my eye on is the over/under on Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl falling from grace as the result of a sexual scandal of some kind.



IF HE LAYS ONE MORE HAND ON ERIN ANDREWS HE'S GOING DOWN:

This one is like taking candy from a baby.



Yeah, yeah put me down for the under on that one as well. Well, that should do it. I ought to be able to recover my money in no time.
