But I don't know all the words. Did you know it was once covered by rapper-turned-convict Lil' Kim?
Oh yea, they played a game tonight, too. Congrats to Roy Williams for finally winning a title at his alma mater UNC; with he and Pistons coach Larry Brown, it's been excellent year for longtime title-starved basketball coaches who went to Carolina and used to coach at Kansas.
Even though I got just everything else wrong, I correctly predicted the championship game, and would've won one of my two pools if Illinois had won. Oh well.
And finally, another stupid controversy: some are mad that on Saturday afternoon, CBS switched away from Pope coverage, less than an hour after the Pontiff's death, in order to broadcast the first Final Four game. Please. CBS, along with every other network, had been broadcasting coverage for several days prior to the actual death, and they were obligated to air the Final Four, a major sporting event the rights of which had been acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars. And besides, any viewer wishing to tune into coverage of the Pope's death had about ten other options at the time. Sounds, as usual, like outrage for outrage's sake, mostly by people so negatively predisposed to CBS News that they likely wouldn't have watched it anyway.
And yes, I know that, on that fateful Friday night in June of 1994, NBC famously switched away from an NBA Finals game in order to broadcast the OJ Simpson Bronco chase. But that doesn't make it right.

Usually we would have waited for the other shoe to drop, but the Rangers had broken their 54-year curse 3 nights earlier, and so MSG fans were salivating for 2 titles in as many weeks.
