Jim Calhoun, Still a Dick

Look over here, look at me, it's not easy being this big of dick

I caught this little tidbit from Mike Waters' blog over at Syracuse.com. Turns out that at Big East Media Day, while talking about the infamous NCAA tournament snub of Syracuse last year, our good friend Jim Calhoun offered this pearl of wisdom.

"I really hate having to defend Syracuse, but it was done completely because (the NCAA committee) didn't feel they should take someone else from our league. That's wrong."

Thanks Jimbo, really. Except for everyone else on the planet, you're the best.

Even though it's clear he's kidding, in the newspaper story, Waters quotes him as saying it with a smile, I still find the man to be intolerable. There are about one million things he does that drive me insane, and one of my biggest pet peeves is that Calhoun walks all over the court during games, even when ball is live. Seriously, check it out sometime, he spends more time on the floor in one game than Matt Gorman did in 5 years at SU.

Look for him to make the winter sports edition of the Enemies of the Idiots. This season, he's also dabbled in football, and he clearly needs some decorum, and Jimmy B is just the kind of guy to give it to him - just ask the fine folks over at Orange 44.
