Ok, we had some great March Madness games Thursday.  The best teams won and a team from a pretend conference lost.  Is this a surprise?  It appears the NCAA got these seeds right!

Pitt vs. Xavier : A knife fight in a phone booth.  This was a great game!

UConn vs. Purdue:  This was a game of TAG and Purdue just couldn't catch up.  Close but no cigar, Boilermakers.  A close friend is crying tonight.  Then again, he flew out of town to meet his g'fren, so the crying is over and the begging is on!

Villanova vs. Duke:  Duke was stomped on like a  recently downed duck.  2/3 of North Carolina is celebrating tonight.  This was a serious beat down.  Only a couple minutes was broadcast in Texas.  We had the Mizzou game.

Mizzou vs. Memphis:  Mizzou did it's best to give away the game with pathetic free throw shooting; Memphis did it's best to return the favor.  Mizzou's Carroll is a freak with his short dump and hook shots.  Look out for Mizzou!

How can the Big East have 16 teams and only play 18 conference games?  This isn't a conference, it's a loose confederacy. 

Now to the populist story.

Ryan Moats, an NFL player I've never heard of, was popped for running a red light in Dallas/Ft.Worth.  Moats jumped out of his car and claimed his Mother in law was dying and he was near her hospital.  His wife ran from the vehicle.  (Can you say, "fleeing felon?"  I bet you can." ) Later the dying turned out to be the truth.  SO WHAT.  Moats did the crime.  Eat the ticket, fool.  This week four Oakland area police officers were killed during and after a routine traffic stop and it's aftermath.  The police have heard every lame story possible during stops.  The opportunistic TMZ media will jump all over this Moats story.  I'm sick of it already.  This could have been avoided if Moats had acted withing the law.  Now the left wing media will scream for this cop's job.  Let's see who's there to protect a reporter whose just been robbed at an ATM!

Look for Moats on Oprah and other terrible talk shows this week.  "I told the po-po the truth, so he should believe me."  I just threw up in my mouth.
