Some "brilliant" insight from CNN contributor Terence Moore.
Since we're in the midst of the NCAA college basketball tournament called March Madness, inquiring minds wish to know: Why do folks strongly dislike (OK, hate) the Blue Devils of Duke?

I'm among them.
Hate us all the way to the championship, Terence. It's old hat. And doesn't change the number of banners hanging in Cameron.

Terence got let go from the AJC a little while ago. He has a chip on his shoulder almost as big as the chip on Gary Williams' shoulder. He is a fuckmouth.

Why would you write such a piece of garbage? Very sophmoric. No new angle whatsoever. No new, intriguing point of view. Yawn. And to cry officiating bias as a professional writer? Was the poor guy just trying to get attention? What a slap in the face to the refs that call the games.. Bilas is right, it would be called out in an instant.

What a MOOREon.

love this comment:

"What a tired litany of cliches and sanctimonious cant. People "hate" Duke basketball because it's not theirs. Pick any program in the country and give it Duke's history and their fans would be in seventh heaven. If you can't beat 'em, hate 'em."

Here's an interesting pair of paraphrased quotes from College Gameday Scoreboard from Saturday morning, right at the end.

Dick Vitale: "There will be a fantastic semi-final between Duke and Ohio State. But, when it's all said and done, I'm sorry Dukies, the Buckeyes move on to the Championship."
Jay Bilas: "You're going to ruin your reputation."

Going to?

He solidified that when he guaranteed the chokies they would be in the NCAAT after they beat Duke. What a senile old fart.

ESPN's Sports Reporters opened up with a pretty good discussion about this.

Totally agree with EJ, nothing new year and it stinks of "look at me, I'm at CNN now!!" Moore is an ASSHAT, hack, and his print isn't worth the bottom of bird cages.

GTH Terrence Moore...
