    Oh, but it makes you feel warm and fuzzy. And if it feeeeels good, does it really hurt anyone?

    Excuse me, but now I'm going to run outside and catch me some butterflies, pick some dandelions, and maybe try to reach the end of a rainbow.

    It's such a simple job, too.

    Drag ass to Final Four venue.

    Go to food area.

    Get drink.

    Go to seat.

    Watch game (or watch those fans in the stands he wrote about last year).

    Rush back at halftime to see if there are cookies.

    Watch rest of game.

    Do interviews.

    Write the awesome stuff he's capable of.

    Mitch, you're a lazy bastard.

    Signed,
    Everyone in Podunk towns across the country who wouldn't mind having his job.

    Today, with the eyes of a nation, the focus of the college basketball world, numerous compelling storylines, all focused on Detroit, Mitch comes up with a feature on the centerfield fountain at Comerica Park.

    (Although to give him credit, he did talk to a human being. One. Mike Ilitch. Nine whole sentences.)

    I daresay the Free Press's new non-daily schedule means that a good number of Mitch's columns are written well in advance of publication-like a week plus.

    In fairness, it was his "early" column for features, due on Friday like always. And we all remember what happened the last time he tried writing about Basketball for his early column.
    And it is kind of a cool thing Ilitch is doing -- tho concession prices will probably rise to make up for it.

    In his game column, tho, you kept wondering if jizz cums in green....

    Mitch only jizzes if a book deal is involved. Then his jizz is green.

    I hadn't read the classic fabricated column for a couple years, but this graf jumped out at me:

    Seems like every single basketball player who talks to Mitch has to borrow money to buy his lunch. ::) ::)
