This story is rather stupid, but it's March Madness related, which means I'm required by law to post on it.
As some of you may know, President Obama is a bit of a hoops junkie. His brother-in-law is also the head coach of Oregon State. So needless to say, he knows a bit about college hoops. ESPN asked him to fill out a bracket in front of Andy Katz, which he did while providing some pretty interesting details. He was not kind to Duke, however, mainly because he picked UNC to win it all and said that Duke wouldn't make the Final Four because they don't have the muscle inside to beat Pitt. Which, if that matchup happens, I would agree with 100%. Kyle Singler will get broken in half by DeJuan Blair.
Meanwhile Coach K, who is a longtime Republican donor, naturally fired back - saying that the President should spend his time fixing the economy rather than filling out brackets.
Because we all know that if Obama hadn't spent those 15 minutes on his bracket, the economy would totally be fixed.
All hilarious partisan rhetoric aside though, I actually find Coach K's comments hilarious, mainly because earlier this year Coach K actually complained that his Blue Devils weren't getting enough media coverage. Seriously.
Well, you're getting plenty now coach, even if it's not the kind you like.
Although, Coach K should probably thank Obama for drawing news away from the real story about Duke, which is that they've developed a trend for consistently getting smoked in the second round by inferior teams.
