Roy Williams Getting More Douche-like By The Day

A few weeks back Roy Williams bitched and moaned about how his arena wasn't completely filled against a crap opponent the weekend of thanksgiving. It's nice to see that he's changed some and is giving the fans the respect they deserve or...

With six minutes to go in North Carolina's blowout win over Presbyterian yesterday at The Dean Dome, Roy Williams instructed security personnel to eject a fan who had heckled the Heels' Deon Thompson during a free throw attempt. The man, wearing a Presbyterian shirt and sitting a few rows behind the Carolina bench, yelled "hey Deon, don't miss it!" during the second free throw, which caused Williams to turn around, exchange some words and, eventually, point him out to security.

Wow is Roy Williams a huge bitch or what? I wonder what he had to say about it after the game.

"I don't think anybody should yell anything negative at our players. Period. Let's don't make it a bigger thing than it is. But I just don't think anybody should yell negative things toward our players (when) you come in on our tickets to watch our game." [The Dagger]

Holy shit I hate North Carolina more than I did ten seconds ago. One lowly Presbyterian fan comes to the game and he can't heckle one of your all mighty players? Seriously? I guarantee this fan got heckled way more than Deon Thompson did. Should security have kicked out all the fans that likely called him a Douchebag? He might have been the only Presbyterian fan in the arena and he was kicked out for apparently saying nothing that was even that bad. Imagine if Roy Williams coached the Mets while playing Philadelphia or the Yankees while playing Boston. He'd kick out half the stadium.

Honestly if Roy Williams continues this parade of whine and cheese the Tarheels just might start inching up next to the Blue Devils when it comes time to formulate the chain of college hate command.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
