I am in possession of Eviden...KYRIE IRVING UPDATE:<br /><br />I am in possession of Evidence, obtained through various and entirely reliable sources* who shall remain anonymous, that the affliction befalling Kyrie's toe was NOT an accident-<br /><br />*God, logic, history, and common sense were my four major sources.<br /><br />1. The injury purportedly occurred on December 4, 2010. Do you know what else happened on December 4? Let me enlighten you.<br /><br />-Led Zeppelin officially disbanded in 1980, leading to nearly a decade of crappy music with frontmen who tried to copy Robert Plant's flowing locks and midriff shirts. The lesson here? You can't replace the maestro. There will be poor imitations, but nothing like the original. Unless Duke signs Rajon Rondo somehow, I'd say the whole season, perhaps the whole decade, is done for Duke basketball. Facts are facts, I'm just the messenger.<br /> <br />-The first Burger King restaurant opened in 1954, sparking a Miami turf war with Ronald McDonald and his ragtag band of guerilla misfits. There very well could be a turf war in Durham if Nolan Smith steps up and dominates in Irving's absence. Rumor has it that Smith and Irving have a "polite, yet cold and distant" relationship. Sounds like a potential powderkeg if the pecking order gets upset. You know who would benefit from this turf war? Sports pundits, bloggers, and the rest of the ACC. <br /> <br />-In 307 A.D., Saint Barbara was martyred. St. Barbara is the patron saint of artillerymen. Artillerymen drop bombs from long distance. Kyrie Irving's skills allowed Duke's bombers to get good looks. Coincidence? I think not. Also, her father cut off her head because she was a Christian. Did someone cut off Kyrie's toe because of his religious affiliation? Definitely in play.<br /><br />-In 1909, the Montreal Canadiens hockey team was officially chartered, and 100 years of Canadian smugness has ensued. I don't know what the significance of this really is. But that doesnt mean it that Montreal isnt at least tangentially responsible for this situation. <br /><br />2. I dont know of anyone who has seen this mysterious toe injury. Is it even injured? Does Kyrie even have toes? I'll believe it when I see it, which is the same reason why I dont believe in air or dinosaurs. Now he's got his foot in a plaster cast. Hmm, thats convenient, i'm sure he's getting lots of sympathy from females around campus who want to help him and sign his cast. Face it, this whole injury thing could very well be a ploy to get girls' attention. It worked for me when I wore a sling in 5th grade even though I didnt hurt my arm.<br /><br />3. Mesa State football player Trevor Wikre had his finger amputated to keep playing football during his senior season. How come amputation hasnt been suggested by the so-called "medical experts" treating Kyrie's toe? If all options are really being considered, as has been reported in several major media outlets, why havent we heard more about the possibility of amputation? Maybe because THERE'S NO INJURY IN THE FIRST PLACE.<br /><br />4. Take a moment and digest this information. Still not convinced? Allow me to present a syllogism that conclusively proves that Kyrie's injury is not an accident: Accidents don't happen to people who are prepared. Kyrie is always prepared. Therefore, accidents don't happen to Kyrie. Whoa. Irrefutable logic trumps medical speculation. Its why I chose law school over med school. That, and the fact that the sight of blood makes me queasy.<br /><br />Now I'm not going to get into the "why" issue- thats a matter of speculation, and as established above, I only deal in facts and near-facts. However, I have recently learned that Coach K struck a bargain with Satan just seconds before Christian Laettner hit the buzzer beater against Kentucky in the 1992 Elite Eight. In exchange for victory, Coach K offered the toe of a future freshman phenom, courtside season tickets at Cameron for life, and Dick Vitale.<br /><br />-CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-4406380681895518342010-12-13T11:04:26.670-05:002010-12-13T11:04:26.670-05:00Shit a Maryland fan knows more than I do.

I mean Josh Hairston and Tyler Thornton did a great job, especially in the second half. They hit us with a little run to start the half. We weren’t as happy with our energy coming out of halftime. We went to our bench and those guys played great. Coach K is always a guy, that if you’re playing well, you’re staying out there. That’s why we were just so proud of those guys. To be ready when called upon. And I think those two guys in particular, who haven’t been getting a lot of minutes. For them to get 15 and 14 minutes and play really well, I think it was just more of an instance where, ‘hey, let’s go with them. They got it going today, so let’s keep them out there.’”<br /><br />That was Chris Collins at the post-game press conference from http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=205054045NastyEmunoreply@blogger.com
