Nation's #1 recruit has a bad game -- Where's the coverage?? ...some recruiting news, and even more dishonest journalism!

Anthony Davis -- the nation's #1 high school player who is headed to Kentucky -- seems completely unable to help his own team compete -- even against horrible opponents!
His Perspectives team lost to an even more obscure Perspectives-Calumet team!!
http://yourseason.suntimes.com/boys_basketball/2938798,1201-boys-basketball-perspectives-calumet-msa.article

His team lost by a whopping 79-48 score to a team nobody has ever heard of, and a bunch of sub-6' kids who are never going to play college ball even at the lowest level.
His coach must be quite a bit of an ass, he pulled his kids off the floor before the game ended because he didn't like the officiating. Maybe he thought that's why he lost by 31 points.
Davis' team is now 0-4, and the team he lost to is now 1-3, which likely means they aren't very good either but they're good enough to school the #1 player in the nation by more than 30 points!
BTW -- against defenders a foot shorter -- Anthony Davis scored 13 points on 3-for-14 shooting.


Hey -- I have a simple question...

Bradley has a BIG game today, right??
Most local papers would have a big game-day story, right??
Can someone link to me to the story about BU hosting Utah tonight??

Never mind, I'll do it myself..here's the link..
http://www.bradleyhoops.com/
so where on that page is it??

Is there anything there in the entire online or print version of the local newspaper, the Peoria Journal Star, that tells us about tonight's opponent, Utah??
You have to dig like crazy to even find out who Bradley is playing tonight...

Now....you can believe what you want, but this is really, really bad coverage...
I mean -- given there's little or nothing else besides the high school results to put up front in the Saturday PJS that has dwindled down to about the size of the Tradin'Post (although the Tradin' Post is actually thicker!)

The Utah press....from 1000 miles away, has coverage that puts what we have to absolute SHAME...

Mention of another kid Bradley is still pursuing..6-4 wing scored 24 in top game at big time Hoopfest...

Interesting article (only in the print version) about who earns what at Bradley --
http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1817612451/First-in-Print-College-pay

..but there's little to compare to since many other private schools do not have their data available -- so comparing only to Drake or Butler is a little unfair..
But -- indeed the higher-ups at BU do quite well.


You know those big, bouncy balls that athletes train with...the ones that are sometimes way bigger than BEACHBALLS?
Well, check this story -- one broke while a basketball player on the Sacramento Kings was using it lifting weights, and now they're suiing the manufacturer!!
After all, no matter how inconsequential something is -- even if a beachball breaks while you are lifting 400 pounds on top of it..then your smartest action, even before you get your arm x-rayed, is to hire a lawyer and sue -- gotta act like a man!!

Scumbag coach Dave Bliss gets caught cheating like crazy again.....this time at the small high school level...
This guy is one of the worst three cheating coaches every -- Bliss, Pearl, Sampson...what a triumverate of cheating asses...

Speaking of "bad" coaches...one guy who coached at a well known Indianapolis area high school but who was booted for serious hazing and immoral behavior by his players which he allegedly knew about and did nothing to stop...(one of the indicted players was the son of an Ex-IU Hoosier that played for Bobby Knight)..
has resurfaced...
Just more confirmation that no matter how bad the coach is or how bad he cheats or how immoral he is...he will get hired elsewhere..
Ex-Carmel High coach Mark Galloway is hired to coach at Culver Academy -- a small Indiana prep school that was coached last year by Alan Huss, the ex-Decatur Christian coach who is now coaching Bobo Drummond at La Lumiere Academy!!
Huss is a pretty good guy and good coach who has even posted on BradleyFans when we had discussions about Decatur Christian when they were a prep power...but Galloway is a different story..

Now yet another good study proves many if not MOST refs are biased and make their calls based on racial behavior!! We're talking BOTH Black and white refs...
So they are not doing a good job if they use this bias...

Hey -- I read literally dozens of other teams' message boards but I never waste time on the boards that are exclusively anti-Bradley but...
someone forwarded this to me...a predictable thing...
One of the alternative sites for message boarding in the MVC is this one...but obviously the sick minded, immature, bitter, and hateful fans of the Valley (and it doesn't take long to read the posts and find out who he's aiming this action at)
who do nothing but hone their personal attack skills while adding nothing to any discussions......
have ruined the experience for everyone else again, just exactly like they did on Valleytalk.
Thankfully nobody ever read their tripe because most people just don't want to see personal attacks all the time (it's why Keith Olbermann's ratings are so low that even one-topic-all-the-time-Rachel Maddow beats him -even with her non-stop homosexual/lesbian talk. And Sarah Palin's new show draws 20 times as many viewers as hot-under-the-collar-Keith).
The hater/posters' opinions are about as valuable and as welcome as a pile of pigeon crap that splats on your neck, so thankfully the MVCFans folks have seen that and are taking action!
BUT -- It does no good to tell these idiots how offensive, rude, immature, and jackass they look by posting the crap they post - because they don't choose to do it voluntarily and they cannot change...
they do it because that IS their very nature...they have no mind to think and reason beyond the bitter, jealous, selfish, and immature ego that makes them click.
They accomplish nothing of any significance anywhere else in their lives, and dedicate only to being jerks.
Enjoy this like I did...because it means there's just ONE LESS place for these asses to go and post their worthless rants....as you know they are not allowed on BradleyFans!!

Peoria Manual's Marvin Jordan is showing that a lot of recruiters were wrong...
He is having a really fine season already at Niagara after his scholarship offer was yanked from under him by Ball State...
he's averaging 37 minutes per game and picked up the top weekly honor in his conference...

More journalisitc DISHONESTY -- it's everywhere!!
Do you know -- That they have CONFIRMED the existence of over 500 planets outside our solar system?? Well if you buy into what this guy says....
http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/Cool-Astronomy/2010/1130/List-of-planets-spotted-outside-our-solar-system-now-tops-500

However -- if you actually read the article...they have done no such thing..
they have found (disputable) evidence for perhaps as many as 500 objects/planets..but they even admit..

"The number of exoplanets...is necessarily subject to some uncertainty for several reasons:
- the mass limit below which a substellar object is called a planet is somewhat arbitrary
- the mass measurement is always affected by some instrumental inaccuracy...etc.."

SO -- just how dishonest is this article that says several places......
"the list of confirmed exoplanets topped 500"
then actually quotes the experts saying...
"The boundary between “confirmed”/”unconfirmed” planets is somewhat fuzzy"

and

"..to say that there is a “500th exoplanet” is really not possible, given that there needs to be confirmation of the planet.
.. So, putting a number on the 500th extrasolar planet to be confirmed is pretty much impossible, arbitrary at best."

SO -- why am I the only one who sees all this crap as journalistic dishonesty and tabloid-type newspaper-selling exaggeration and lies.....]
Literally in the same breath the guy claims the planets are confirmed, then he quotes the actual experts who say the ARE DEFINITELY NOT confirmed!!



For the warming advocates...
The Artic Ozone hole is not only shrinking..it's almost gone .. again!!
But this is a cyclic thing and has nothing to do with manmade pollution as we have proven before...

One last item -- can you imagine the coverage if this was George Bush's brother who was a polygamist and was marrying teeny boppers who are one third of his age??

Also -- liberal talk show host Bill Maher drew between 1000-1500 last night for his performance..
Compare to even Sarah Palin -- who a few months ago almost created a mad scramble for tickets and extra police even had to be hired to control the crowds outside the arena....drawing at minimum 4-5 times that many people -- most of whom couldn't even get into the theater...
One more thing -- people expressed objection last summer about tickets being $50 for Sarah Palin and plaenty of letters to the editor saying she was not worth it!
The price of tickets for Maher....$59.50!!

The funniest thing I have seen on Maher is this...
"the creepiest thing about Julian Assange is he looks like a pasty Bill Maher"
