change in the seasons
i live in the city of four seasons, hendersonville, nc and the fall of the year is always my favorite season but the change of seasons i am referring to is the start of the college basketball season...it is that time of year when my seattle seahawks are battling for that top draft pick in next years draft but my tarheels are a perpetual top 10 team and give me a reason to have faith in sports again. i watched their first game about ten days ago against florida international coached by former nba player isiah thomas and announced by former duke player and evidently big buddy of thomas, jay williams...he is another duke nba washout who has to rely on his reputation to land a job announcing and being unbiased went right out the window in this contest....the broadcast turned into a thomas "gloryfest" led by williams because that is the only person he talked about the entire game...the rep and knowledge he brought, the plans he had for the school, but jay williams forgot to mention the fact that thomas tried his damndest to get out of playing north carolina in his first game with reasons never mentioned in the media...god knows jay williams never brought it up or even the fact he was ran out of new york on a rail..my guess is that jay williams announcing career will be as short as his nba career...it definitely couldn't be shorter...
