None of the men would be crazy enough to make a promise like that..............

and then really crazy enough to keep it, which she said she intends to do.

We'll see.

This could be the inspiration for a new signature line:

"Not a dime back."

I thought it was a crazy promise to make as well. It reminds me of Celebrity Apprentice Sunday night. One woman volunteered to support Melissa Rivers, her product manager by going back into the boardroom. Just by doing that, Trump fired her. "Never volunteer for execution."

If she gives back her scholarship, they'll probably just give her a different one.

Not a big deal for her to pay her scholarship back, her dad is former NFL player Bubba Paris. He cut the check the other night.

Doesn't have quite the same ring:

If we don't win it all, my daddy will pay my scholarship back.

I thought that was assumed from the minute she made the promise.

Of course, with her degree (if she's actually completing it) and potential earnings, she could pay her dad back with no interest.

Not sure this observation fits here, but, here it is.
I know it catches your ear when an announcer calls a "reaching in" foul or an "over the back" foul.
I fell out of my chair last night when the announcer called Hansbrough for a " Lower body root canal". Don't think that one is in the rule book. Any image of the signal for that infraction?

Like I tell my students learning American Sign Language when it comes to descriptions...what does it look like? Now I think I opened the floodgates of pervertedness!
