Some of you (about 3) might have been wondering about my whereabouts the past few days/ Vacation to Hawaii? Desperate flight out of country to avoid the authorities? Standing in line for Spice Girls tickets?
No, no and possibly but sadly not. Actually, my lovely six-month old daughter picked up what her pediatrician says is the rotavirus. Which led to my wife and I basically splitting time between helping her while she projectile vomited and us getting sick ourselves.
Good times.
But I'm not the only person in the world feeling sick right now. Let me introduce you to the Cal State University Monterey Bay basketball team. The Division II Warhawks (or whatever the hell they are) were leading Fresno State by three with seconds remaining. And then?
Well, I'm usually pretty skeptical about the YouTube "proof our team got screwed" videos that pop up from time to time. But in this case...yeah, you got screwed pretty hard:
The second offense - the travel just before the miracle shot is heaved up - is pretty blatant, but is somewhat excusable. But the first one - throwing the ball back inbounds after jumping five feet outside of the end line - is pretty atrocious. And yes, that's a ref about five feet away from him who should have noticed that unless it's white Bob Beamon, he probably wasn't going to be leaping from in-bounds and be able to catch the ball and make the toss.
