But it is hilarious to hear people scream "That's a bullshit call", "Eff Dook", "they get all the calls" and other cry baby nonsense.

Heller? That wasn't the call that cost "the orange" (please go back to orangemen, soon) the game. I feel like I was one of the few people who watched the game.

JIM FLIPPED OUT! That was the call that sent 'cuse their second loss.

Now hear me out... Good on Jim for acting like a lunatic who is an hour late to his first day of work who can't find his car keys. I think he did the right thing.

"A loss is never as good thing". - Crap.

Ya think Jim really cares about this loss? I don't.

This is Jim setting a fire. If the game wasn't already so close the call wouldn't have been an issue. We're close to March Madness, and he deliberately flipped out to show some passion. Some fury.

This loss means nothing as his eyes are focused on the NCAA title, as it should be. Acting like a complete loon will probably work to his advantage.
I absolutely agree with you on the strategy that Boeheim's using, but it was a bullshit call, especially given some of the earlier calls in the game.

Y'know, we could argue about bullsnot calls all day (that flagrant foul with Dawkins was straight dummin') but when the lights went out in Coach K court, that was NOT the "worst call of the year". Duke won the game, square.

And as always, Mike was 100% class. He basically stated in his press conference that Jim did the right thing, without mixing words. "I hate to see a game end like this" - The Man.

Tobacco Road is always something, be it UNC or Duke.

Why do people want flying cars? Seriously... we can't handle driving regular cars, just imagine the insanity of flying cars in a realistic setting. Would that mean that everyone is sober and responsible? Fat chance of that! We would have cars falling from the sky because some idiot passed out and turned off the ignition. Kids would be hotrodding in a whole new, frightening way, it would be 9/11 times a thousand and our bird population would be nonexistent (also think about how much insurance would cost with the constant need of maintenance for bird related accidents).

Man...flying cars suck.

And then you've got Hamburg, Germany. I was just reading this article last night.

everyone imagines themselves as the sole owner of a flying car, above the traffic, impressing everybody else.

If you made an honest effort (well at least in the late 90's) to contact the guy, he'd produce/finance a movie for you.

Yeah the guy is now a media whore, but at the same time I won't talk trash (he's a self proclaimed media whore btw) as he's helped so many indies get a foot into the industry.

Smith reminds me a lot of this guy who goes by the name of Garry Shandling. Crude, honest, and very much "I'll effing blow you if it gets me a job". That's not so much an insult, but an observation of how much the guy wants to be on top (besides when it comes to sex).

Knock down the doors those guys do.
