Does this look like the reaction of a man who would have tolerated his assistant coach molesting little boys?

We Got Him!
Super excited to have Bobby Valentine aboard as the new Sox coach. At least this year when we meltdown it will be entertaining...
Way to Schedule, Coach
Funny, you hear Dicky V scream a lot about "cupcakes" and you hear him scream a lot about Coach K, but you never hear him scream about both in the same breath.
Perhaps he should, because according to ESPN, tonight is only the fifth time under Coach K that Duke will play a true road game against a non-conference opponent ranked in the Top 5.
All of a sudden I'm not so sure it was a good idea to take the other side of Bucky Ruder in this game...

Bullshit!
How dare Jim Boeheim drag Jim Calhoun into Syracuse's "Watch it or I'll suck your cock" program!?!?!
This quote, from a source, "He's not going to resign," said the source. "He's like (UConn's Jim) Calhoun -- old warriors. He'll get through this."
No - Jim Boeheim is nothing like Jim Calhoun (other than the cancer part). You can try to drag Jim Calhoun's name through the mud for a lot of reasons, but at least when someone associated with his program decides to become a pedophile they have left the program and started working for the state.
Then again, we don't know what comes in those shipping containers (probably hookers like in The Wire) that arrive at Ruslan Inyatkin's metal factory. Cause that's normal, a Russian basketball player comes to America and then ends up running a huge metal refractory...

Weekend Linkfest
Its been a crazy week in college basketball and not just for people named Fine. Here's a stab at rounding up links to some of the biggest headlines:
Rebel Yell - UNLV, lead by a guy named Oscar and a guy named Chace, knocks off #1 UNC by 10.
Early season losses happen, the bigger concern for UNC fans should be Harrison Barnes leaving the arena on crutches after rolling his ankle. It doesn't sound serious. Too bad, would be karma for faking an injury this summer (only UNC kids would play pickup on a tennis court. Duke kids play pickup on lax fields).
The excellent Andy Katz with his "Impressions after two weeks of covering games."
Grantland has been a pleasantly surprising website. Obviously, we love them going after Duke. Here is Sebastian Pruiti's "The Problems With Austin Rivers."
Staying on the Grantland theme, here is Chuck Klosterman's "The 50 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time." It was written in the beginning of the November, but it's still a great read.
Written before the Battle 4 Atlantis, ESPNs John Gassaway makes a case for UConn as the top team in the country.
It's much easier to read him than listen to him - Dick Vitale with an interesting, albeit brief, overview of the top transfers in the country. I didn't realize Prince/Mike Rosario had transferred from Rutgers to Florida. Nicely played, sir.
Farmington's Finest, Tim Abromaitis, is out for the season with a torn ACL. That's what you get, Notre Dame, for holding UConn hostage from joining the ACC. The good news is this will keep Calhoun from having a Ryan Gomes-esque meltdown after Timmy would have lit UConn up again.
Bernie Fine Roundup
Friday: His house gets raided. Happy Thanksgiving!
Sunday: A third accuser
Sunday: Bernie's wife blows his spot up

Eskimo Brothers
Lot of stuff going on in this Syracuse/Bernie Fine thing. You can read new stuff here about the audio recording between Bobby Davis and Bernie's wife.
Here are my favorites from the tapes:
Fine: But you never had oral sex with him?
Davis: No
Fine: No
Davis: He, he...I think he would want to, but...
Fine: Oh, of course, he would! Why wouldn't he?
Why wouldn't he?!?! That was her reaction. Amazing. I am without words.
Gem #2
Davis: It's not about the money.
Fine: It's about the dick. I know that...
WOWWWW - it's. about. the dick. It was also about the dick for Laurie Fine and Bobby Davis cause Bobby Davis hooked up with Bernie's wife when he was 18. So, Bernie Fine and Bobby Davis are Eskimo Brothers.
The irony here is Laurie Fine says Bernie Fine wouldn't fuck her, but, in the end, Laurie did a real good job of fucking Bernie.

Maui Wowie, One year later
Here's a look back at UConn after Maui last year. Hopefully the Dukies are not their successor as tourney champs
Deleted Scenes from ESPN/Calpari Interview
John Calpari visited ESPN in the last couple of days to do an interview about how he always gets great recruits and then fails to win National Championships. Or something like that...
Anyway, I was unable to embed the video of the interview, so I decided to provide you with the transcript:
Anchor: University of Kentucky Coach John Calipari, welcome to SportsCenter.
Calipari: Thanks. Where is Hannah Storm? I wore extra gel in my hair to impress her.
Anchor: Did you also fly in on that UK jet to impress her?
Calipari: No, I fly in that to impress EVERYONE. Especially recruits.
Anchor: That's a nice segway, Coach. Let's talk about your recruits. Once again you have the top recruiting class and possibly the top recruit in the country. How do you do it year in and year out?
Calipari: Well, you know, my methods have changed over the years. Back in the day, Marcus Camby was my marquee recruit and I made sure Marcus had boosters giving him 40k, cars, prostitutes...whatever it took.
People think this was so difficult for Marcus, but I was the one who truly suffered. You see, because I overpaid Marcus for so long and it worked so well, once I went to the NBA I thought I had to continue overpaying players like Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson, and other guys who don't have money left anymore.
Anchor: Were you able to learn from your mistakes with Marcus when you returned to college basketball at Memphis?
Calipari: Absolutely. Instead of paying players, I started using new recruiting methods. For example, I didn't pay DaJuan Wagner to play at Memphis, but a few days after DaJuan signed I hired his father to be the Coordinator or Basketball Operations.
Anchor: That's right...didn't some people have a problem with that?
Calipari: The people who had the biggest problem with it were those at Memphis. I mean, can you imagine working your ass off to advance within the Memphis Athletic Department, probably getting a Master's degree, and then this guy comes in? Hahahaha it was so funny to see the faces of the people Milt Wagner leapfrogged....
Anchor: Isn't it true that Milt Wagner did not even have a college degree when you hired him in 2001?
Calipari: That is true, but he took classes and completed his degree in 2004. I look at it this way - I don't care if any of my players get an education so why should I care if my Coordinator of Basketball Operations doesn't have one? That would be hypocritical.
Milt was a role model for the kids. With Milt around the program the kids had a father figure where they could look at him and say, 'You know what, I may not be good enough to play pro ball, but if my son is really good then perhaps I can whore him out in exchange for stable employment.'
Anchor: You make a good point, Coach. By the way, what happened to DaJuan Wagner? I believe he was the #1 recruit that year.
Calipari: He got HIV/AIDS
Anchor: Wow. Um, any other examples?
Calipari: Of course! How long do you have? Next there was Tyreke Evans. Tyreke was a huge prospect and clearly would be a "one and done" player. As such, he needed to stay in shape, so I hired his childhood trainer as one of my administrative assistants.
Anchor: I'm confused. Why would you hire the trainer to be an administrative assistant and not as a trainer?
Calipari: Don't ask stupid questions, not Scott Van Pelt. I love that guy. Anyways, next was Derrick Rose. Derrick was not so, how do you say, smart. I will give him credit though, he was smart enough to know he wouldn't pass the SAT and had someone else take it for him. The great thing about academic fraud is it takes a long time to investigate, so Derrick was able to play for our Final Four team and help us to 38 wins. Overall, it was a great year. Derrick's brother even got to travel with the team all season on that fancy jet we talked about earlier.
Anchor: I'm confused again. My notes say you have only one Final Four appearance and that it was last year in a loss to UConn.
Calipari: Well, I have been to the Final Four a few times but those performances have always later been invalidated. So I guess I am like a ghost.
While we talk about academic fraud, how 'bout that Laurinburg Institute? We got two great program players from there, Joey Dorsey and Robert Dozier. Unfortunately, this place kind of "jumped the shark" and now we can't get any players out of there.
Anchor: Why can't you get players from there anymore? Is it because there are more schools looking at these players?
Calipari: No. They were accused of being a diploma mill and the NCAA later declared them "unfit as an institution." The NCAA will no longer accept any credits from Laurinburg.
Anchor: Well, Coach, it sounds like you have "jumped the shark" and "massive fraud" confused...
Calipari: Potayto, Potahto. Agree to disagree...
Anchor: Coach, will all of your success at the college level, do you every think about making another run at the pros?
Calipari: My closest tie to the pro game at this point are my players who are in the league and, of course, LeBron's best friend who I hired to be a Grad Assistant. I think having LeBron on campus, err, I mean, Brandon Weems, will be a boost to recruiting.
Anchor: I bet it will, Coach. Thanks for your time.

Syracuse Plot Thickens
Here is the story from this afternoon's Outside The Lines about the Bernie Fine molestation charges:
What I wrote last week about this being fishy doesn't hold as much water now that we find out the Syracuse Police are telling the District Attorney to take his subpoena and fuck off.
When the DA's son was reached for comment on why his father should receive the files being subpoenaed, he simply said it was because, "His father is the District Attorney!

Chris Berman talks about Bernie Fine
As a Worldwide Leader in our own right, we have moles planted inside ESPN at all times. Our reports indicate this is a sampling of nicknames Chris Berman is working on for a Syracuse basketball game later this year...
Bernie "He finds little boys butts oh so" Fine
Bernie "Don't worry, if I touch you here it's" Fine
Bernie "It's not true, you heard it through the grape" Fine
Bernie "So I molested him, I guess I deserve a" Fine
and on, and on, and on...

The Archive 1.0
After a long brainstorming session with my fellow editors we feel we have come up with a plan which will provide everyone with great content all season long. We will post sporadically this week and ramp up to full time starting on Sunday.
In the meantime, here is a long lost clip which will be part of one of our many new series. From "The Archive 1.0" please enjoy Khalid El-Amin down 4 with 9 seconds left and racial epithets, among a range of offenses, being rained upon him.
