Can't usually stand that guy, but he is spot on here. First 2 minutes
ESPN Would Like to Wish Mad Dog Well in His Future Endeavors...

No interest in watching those professional screamers.
Lmao at a UConn alum saying, “we’re used to winning.” Laughable. They’re the luckiest program of all time. How many NCAATs have they missed since, say, idk, 2000?! 10/12 of them?! Also, at least two years they won it all, they were literally close to being bubble teams. Their sense of accomplishment is highly skewed.
Speaking of being spot on, the next time ESPN has layoffs, I would bet this thread can be bumped for an "I told you so".
I like that he's pointing out the Duke hypocrisy.
As an aside, I can't imagine watching that guy screech, rant and spit on the screen on a regular basis.

They also have a women's basketball team that has more hardware than anyone in the last 25 years by far. They also possess 3 of the longest winning streaks in basketball. I think that is what she's getting at.
I get the nuance, and your not wrong, but I'm not gonna talk sh*t when they have crushed us in the most important metric of all.
Likely to pass us in championships in the next decade or so.
Meh. I don’t foresee that happening. Although, it might. Considering how terrible of a whistle we get consistently. Conversely, they get a pretty damn good one.
I hate to beat a dead horse, and I feel like I post these a lot, but here are two examples proving your point:
I am not a violent person at all and avoid confrontations if possible but that is one guy that better hope I never run into him.I hate to beat a dead horse, and I feel like I post these a lot, but here are two examples proving your point:
Mad Dog is one of the best in the business. The ESPN gig is only one small part of his current career. He has his own XM Channel. I think he will be fine.
Refs fall for acting every night these days. Those are two good examples. I watch refs blowing the whistle when a drive starts before anything happens these days. Sad.I hate to beat a dead horse, and I feel like I post these a lot, but here are two examples proving your point:
Flopping is supposed to be a technical foul….but refs are to gutless to call it.
Yep! That “charge” on Poythress was absurd. Believe we would’ve cut the lead to 2/3 and then UConn hit a 3 on the other end right after that. 😑I hate to beat a dead horse, and I feel like I post these a lot, but here are two examples proving your point:
Nobody gives a shit about women’s basketball. 🤣 I see what you’re saying, though.
Looks like Pothress was victim of a cylinder foulI hate to beat a dead horse, and I feel like I post these a lot, but here are two examples proving your point:
It wasn't luck, either. They were gifted 2 or 3 titles by the refs eliminating their opponents or potential opponents during the tourney. Between Duke and UConn (that once was a team I cheered for when they didn't play my favorites), neither has any room to whine or moan about anything AT ALL.
Never heard him before the first 30 seconds of that clip. Will count myself blessed if I never hear him again, regardless of how right he might have been.
Madd Dog is really funny when he goes on those rants about eating weed gummies, drinking bourbon and losing bets. I enjoy them and find them very entertaining. Usually at least one of his "What is Madd Dog mad about" segment has a bad beat or a team losing.
Then they will pass Duke and unc too. They aren't winning anything with John boy and Hubert.
Doubt UCONN keeps it going like they have. I may be wrong.
I'm shocked there are people in this thread saying they have never heard of Mad Dog. I know he started with Mike Francesca up here in NYC but I thought he had a good amount of national exposure at this point. He's annoying as hell, but he paved the way for guys like Stephen A Smith to play characters on TV instead of giving their actual opinions.
We used to get a blue blood whistle before Calipari. His hate began when he stole Kanter and Jones from Washington in back to back years. The AD at Washington was then appointed NCAA president (Emmert). Emmert believed Cal cheated to get both guys to flip at the last minute. Cal then complained the SEC was to Physical publicly. Then talked publicly of schools leaving the NCAA his hay day. The officials (probably directed by Emmert) started giving us a poor whistle. Cal responded by screaming at them non stop for 5 years earning technical after technical. Here we are 15 years later still getting a poor whistle. He has calmed down some but officials hate him more than any other coach.
That is almost word for word what I was about to type. He's right (though I think I'd buy ear plugs if I had to hear him on any regular basis)- Duke is hypocritical. And Filipowski was definitely milking that "injury" for the cameras. He went from maybe having a serious knee injury to playing 30 minutes the next game. He had to be carried off the court. ha!
I'll add this- I don't like court-storming. Nobody needed to convince me of that. But I also can't stand liars and fakes- and floppers like Duke.
Wish we could have "lucked" in to a few more National Championships.
IF they pass us it won't be because of refs. We are not in our funk because of refs.
Not currently. However, we’ve been directly affected via officiating on at least two occasions. Extremely hard to overcome that kinda nonsense.
I believe that was the same year. Also, I agree to an extent. I remember that 1992 duke game. We were absolutely railroaded! Idk if it was because we were fresh off probation and they couldn’t have us knocking out the darling in the tournament or what. In any event, railroaded we were.
