The Dagger - NCAAB

On all the floors used in the opening two rounds, the NCAA had put giant blue "NCAA" stickers at midcourt, just in case viewers got confused and thought they were watching the NIT, CBI, Euroleague finals, or reruns of Walker, Texas Ranger.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams complained about the floor stickers, saying that they were slippery and that players were going to get hurt. Tyler Hansbrough and Marcus Ginyard both slipped on the stickers, and selfishly, Roy believed that his players were entitled to things like "healthy knees and ankles."

What a jerk! Completely disregarding the importance of pretty stickers like that. Without those stickers, think of all the viewers CBS might have lost to all the other amateur basketball games being played on Thursday afternoon. And all because he doesn't want his players to be crippled. So selfish, that guy.

Roy eventually got his way, and the stickers will be gone for the rest of the tournament. I'll remember that, Roy, when I'm watching healthy basketball players at the expense of a pretty blue circle in the middle of my screen. Jerk.

    Remember, MJD - he's not just a jerk, but a 'daggum jerk.'
