This guy is a joke

He's Mike Slive, the commissioner of the SEC and the head guy of the selection committee. After the brackets came out this evening, he sat down with Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg. (This was after Nantz drooled over Kellogg for 10 minutes, pointing out that he correctly picked all four top seeds to make the Final Four last season. Wow! You don't say! You picked all top seeds to make the Final Four?!? Wow! Like, only 75 other people did that, too, last year. This is no knock on Kellogg. Rather, it's a witch-slap to Nantz, who is softer than soggy donut. After he was done with Kellogg, Nantz basically tried to open-mouth kiss Slive. What a tool.)

Alas, we digress.

Nantz, the hard hitting journalist that he is(n't), asked one (one!) hard question -- why did Memphis not get a top seed? Slive said it wasn't about Memphis as much as it was about the top four teams. What he should have said was the four real teams the Tigers played out of the high school level Conference USA, they lost to three of them.

Then Greg Anthony, the antithesis of Loser Nantz, came with the heat. He asked why only four mid major teams got invites. Slive's answer was that no one on the committee uses the term mid majors. Wow! What an answer! Anthony persisted, asking Slive what mid majors were supposed to do, since most big schools refuse to schedule them. This time, Slive said the committee looked at a team's entire body of work when considering them. Wow! Yet another great non-answer.

March Madness? Awesome.

Mike Slive and Jim Nantz? Frigging Losers who do nothing but waste our time.

(Oh, yeah...tomorrow we will take an actual look at the brackets.)
