Kelvin Sampson is Funny
Actually, he's over-the-top hysterical. Following Indiana's more-gripping-than-it should-have-been win over Northwestern Saturday night, this revelation:
"Armon Bassett, one of many terrific players on a team in mid-scandal limbo, said he received a text message from an admirer after a tense victory over Northwestern. `He told me he loved me, he's happy for me and good win,'' Bassett said.
The texter: Kelvin Sampson."
That's tender, I guess. At any rate, Jay Mariotti climbs off his rage-against-Ozzie Guillen horse to rage against Sampson. Which helps to make Sampson more sympathetic, frankly. Although he REALLY needs to put his cell phone down and step away. There may be a support group for people with his addiction. But first, as I understand it, he needs to admit he has a problem.
