Now that the Modern Britain paper from Hell is done, I can get back to the title of this journal. My March Madness worked out nicely, to the tune of winning three pools despite some major pride swallowing. Despite my Tarheel allegiances, the diploma hanging on my wall says Florida State University and therefore, watching Florida cut down the nets sucks. Could we please swap ADs with UF? Jeremy Foley has more balls than Dave Hart ever will. Oops, that's my jealousy showing.

Anyway, onto the Masters. Shitty weather, first winner over par since 1956, and Tiger collapsed on the back nine. How does a four-time champion eagle thirteen and then plunk it in the water on 15? Anyway, Zach Johnson won, his second PGA win, ever. While my father enjoys first-time winners, I much prefer repeats. However, these feelings are not unique to golf by any means. My father's rooting for the underdog, and making me crazy, is part of why I'm a fan of the teams I am.

However, the biggest news of the week, for me anyway, is the charges against the Duke lacrosse players being dropped. At least the NC Attorney General has a clue, as it's clear that the Durham County DA, who shall not be named, not only hasn't a clue, but any integrity either. Now, if only June can get here so that his trial can start. I'd love to see him disbarred, especially after he used this case to win the election. As for whether I was surprised as to the results of this case, not in the least. I actually hope they consider charging Crystal Mangum, the accuser, with filing a false report. Even better, I can't wait to tell my father, I told you so. He drives me crazy with his thought about athletes and morals. I just wish I had an SI cover to burn like I did with Kobe's mugshot. I'll have to look and see if one exists...hmmm.
