It's always fun listening to Bill Raftery doing college basketball, but the odd thing about him is that his quirkiness is practically an act. If you ever listen to his radio interviews, he's amazingly subdued, only turning on the catchphrases if he really needs to. It's an interesting phenomenon.
Meanwhile, does it seem like we were paying more attention to Gus Johnson after he got dropped out of the top four CBS crews? You have to wonder how he felt having to call an awful Knicks game while the Sweet 16 games were going on. At least Ian Eagle ended up with that ridiculous Division II finish. But look no further, there's a Gus Johnson remix.
Also, am I the only person out there that doesn't hold "One Shining Moment" in the same esteem as other sports fans? When the title game is over and the hardware, etc. is handed out, I'm already clicking to SportsCenter or some other show or possibly going to sleep. Unless I was really waiting for the local CBS affiliate news, I'm not sticking around to watch the song and the highlights. But maybe that's just me.
Finally, if people are continuing to gripe about voter turnout and comparing it to American Idol, could Sanjaya be similar to W? Think about it: Promising candidate at the start, progresses to the big stage only to look overmatched and always hounded by questions about how he got enough votes to stick around.
On the other hand, it's been nice looking at (if not necessarily listening to) Haley, but only after that they turned her into Mrs. Jay Mohr.
