You're missing the point.

Gay jokes and being a front runner perfect together.

Almost perfect. You left out his poor sportsmanship, where he repeatedly runs up the score on out manned teams, playing his starters 35+ minutes in 30 point routs; his penchant for twisting the story in a loss so it's about something other than his coaching; his abuse of student newspaper reporters who dare to call

You never witnessed the madness that was Gary Williams during a game up close, I'm guessing. And you hate jokes.

You are my spirit animal, Albert Burneko.

I'm almost tempted to pick Duke to advance to the Final Four because everybody in my league always picks them to get brained a round earlier than is reasonable to expect. But then I'd have to choose between rooting against Duke and rooting against my bracket. It's easier to just consolidate.

I miss Gary Williams.

I've never liked the guy - pretty common story among non-national media and sports information folks that he treats most of em like garbage - but the way he basically threw Abar Rouse under the bus in the wake of the Dave Bliss/Baylor scandal, and subsequently never said anything to walk that back, sealed it for me.

Wouldn't almost every college coach, or a large majority? I think the appeal of Calipari is he does not try to pain himself as a higher authority than he is on life, sports, etc. He's a coach trying to win.

"He warns against the corrupting danger money poses to "the academic missions and the innocence" of college sports, even as he hauls in seven figures a year off the backs of his underpaid workers."

Being considered the most upstanding NCAA basketball program is like being considered the kindest Grand Wizard of the KKK.

Best feel-good Duke moment? Watching them lose to Lehigh and having Lehigh go right into the handshake line like it was no big deal. Fantastic.

To be fair, Burneko, I guarantee you he makes eight figures all told, not seven.

So did Paterno.

Yeah, I'm sure some people work in places where wearing headphones is discouraged, which must be a real pain. Or even if there's a lot of ambient noise.

NO ONE DENIES THIS!

Plus, reading something at work is a lot easier than listening to something at work, for most of us.

Can't wait for Drew to break future haters guides into three parts and also drop a preview podcast for good measure.

I'm sorry, shouldn't complain about free content, etc., but I'm pretty disappointed that this is a podcast. It'll take a lot longer to listen to than to read, I might miss some of it if I accidentally concentrate on work and stop listening, and, most importantly for Deadspin, it's what Bill Simmons would do.
