This is a solid choice. I just like that he and Jim Calhoun are in the stupidest pissing match and are also both high in the rankings for most insufferable pricks in sports. That said, given the choice I’d cheer for either of them to beat a team coached by Coach K.

Finally, Richard Sherman admits to pass interference.
