The sullied and the pure
A good article by Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! :
“NCAA in a Nutshell: Bill Self, Kansas Win National Title with Infractions Case Still Pending.”
Good game, too. The 16-point comeback was breathtaking.
I’ve always liked the Jayhawks. They’re probably my favorite cheaters.

Now, a dose of anti-cynicism. These videos are by the hero who unclogs drains.
In this episode, he travels north through New Hampshire, unblocking culverts as the snow melts.
And in this 44-minute video, he climbs into a culvert to clear away a beaver dam.
He is an amazing narrator. His sentences are punchy and staccato. He says his consonants crisply. He wastes no words.
In the first video, he peers out over campers on a frozen lake and describes the peril of driving on it as the weather warms. You can feel the ice melt beneath you.
In the second video, he is silent for long stretches while he clears out debris. The rhythm is lovely. It’s more like Terrence Malick than like Stanley Kubrick.
He concludes the video with scenes of bear tracks and chipmunks.
