Mighty Mailbag: Presidents Day Edition


Well it's Presidents day which means for many people a day off from work. Or in theory that's what I assume is what used to happen when the Federal government existed beyond hunting down dangerous celebrities. Anyway in honor of President's Day a few pieces of mail from my bag.


Mighty, Who right now is the best NCAA basketball team? Answer me!
-Mel Arky

This year it's nearly impossible to say who is the best. There's lots of good teams and much like lining up a 100 cans of paint that slowly turn from white to black its hard to say what divides the elites from the potential elite. Nonetheless I recommend everyone to tune in Monday night for Pittsburgh v. UConn. UConn had been my #1 team until one of their best (Dyson) went down for the year. The matchup to watch is Dajuan Blair, who is built and plays like Charles Barkley, short thick PF versus Hasheem Thabeet, an Alonzo Mourning esque scorer and shotblocker. The other team I'd put in that category is UNC who has the best player in the NCAA - Ty Lawson.

Mighty - What's Up with the World Baseball Classic?
-Claire D. Ayre

Well 16 countries starting March 6th will do battle until countries eliminated at first via round robin action or via bankrupcy(whichever comes first). Outside of a slew of players pulling out of the WBC the hoopla has been fairly muted (or at least relative to Spring Training). It should be interesting to see how much interest it generates the 2nd time around.

Losers of the WBC have to donate to the IMF

Mighty - You said you'd call but never did, what's up with that?
- Bar Refaeli

This is more of a public statement. Never piss off a super hot model that knows how to kill people.

Mighty - What's your greatest fear?
-Dick Haed

The basement horse mutates into a 50 foot tall killing machine.


Know Fear

Mighty - What's the analogy you'd make to Steve Kerr's reign?
-Joe King

Well the easy one is Matt Millen in that we all know not matter how badly he screws up Kerr will be right back on tv cause apparently TV executives feel Americans love watching horrible failures give out their opinion. Honestly short of Kerr getting arrested for being a crystal meth dealer I can't think of a way he could appear to be a bigger bungler.
