We are some of the time, actually.

Most people don't think we deserve to whine when we want to, mostly because of the sucess we have here but I actually think sometimes there is movement away from "Duke-loving" in the mainstream media. Mostly because so many people complained about the love affair Duke has had with ESPN, Dickie-V, etc. since the 90's so now I think the media over compensates so they can be like, "See, we arent biased towards Duke."

Yes, I would agree with this, but not the way they are saying it. We can be when things are going wrong sure, but what is there to whine about now? We are the defending National Champions!!

It's DEADSPIN. What else did you expect?

It's ridiculous to debate an "issue" mentioned in Deadspin, because it's NOT a serious site.

I'm instantly reminded of Ron White's debate answer.

Well, people on DBR do whine. But they also add value. Deadspin is worthless. As far as I can tell, it's only purpose is to try to be humorous. And it fails at that.

That's nice. I think Deadspin is staffed by degenerate no-talents (http://deadspin.com/361525/i-am-here-to-provide-kids-like-you-with-a-game-plan-for-what-the-fk-kinda-call-was-that-you-fking-jew-fk), so I guess we're even.

All fans are whiny; it comes with the territory. Fandom is pretty much a clear sign of low moral character.

True! True! :D

I have to admit... that article was pretty hysterical. Though it's kind of hard to make Coach K anti-Semitic considering that he's coached one of the best Jewish player of our generation (Scheyer).

Waaaaah!!!!! Deadspin doesn't like us!!!!! Oh no, what am I going to do now?!!!!

Oh look, cake!

It is pretty funny, you gotta take something like that in stride. Actually I thought this part was the best:

If you look at our team now, you'll see an enormously diverse group. Some of them are from New Jersey. Some are from Connecticut. Some are from New York. And a couple more are from New Jersey. And they all have divergent interests. Jordan Davidson likes Coldplay, whereas David McClure prefers David Gray

Hahahahaha, awesome.

The thread linked in the deadspin post is pretty whiny and embarrassing.

Hate to be that guy, but David McClure graduated last year.

Agree completely. My favorite part is...

"Lots of our kids have gone on to great careers in fields like finance, or investment banking, or stockbroking, or trading, or investment trading, or financial stockbroking. The options are limitless..."

CC84 was quoting the article, which was written in 2008.

Yes! Hilarious. And yes, I am aware that David McClure graduated in '08 :)

See the title. This is a Duke basketball fan website. Who gives a ---- about Deadspin. What do they know about college basketball.

[RelativeWays]

I prefer The Big Lead myself. Like every media savvy sports blog aggregate, they hate Duke as well, but will give the team props when due and probably wouldn't stoop to satire laced with anti-semite ramblings.

The whole whining about Duke being left out of the ESPN champion montage is whiny. Who cares? At the same time every entitled sports fanbase of a well known team tends to get whiny and hyper-sensitive about something. Our pals down the road were 100% confident than Bob Knight called out Beaker's penchant for traveling on ESPN because K called in a favor. They truly believe it.

That's absolute bullhockey. True friends like Bob and Mike don't have to call in favors. Bob just knew what had to be done, like magic!!:cool:

Click here to hear the joke (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkXsrz_Qrl8)... but advance warning that you better turn your speakers down if there are young ears around or if you are at work.

There were a couple funny lines in it, but they beat the overall premise to death. It wasn't nearly funny enough to make up for all the anti-Semitic and racist remarks. Personally, I found that article extremely offensive.
