..And Coming

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

Dan Shaughnessy jumps on the kick-Pitino bandwagon in
the currrent ESPN magazine.  Another Globe jackass who
knows nothing about basketball.  I swear, anybody who
tells you that we wuz robbed in the Mercer deal
permanently sacrifices credibility in my eyes.  Even
if Ron turns out to be an all-star (not likely).  Man,
this is a slow month.  I guess that's for the good,
though.  When does training camp start?
