RideThePine.com still hasn’t recovered from Kevin Ware’s broken leg. Plus, find out what could’ve saved the Rutgers basketball coach’s job.

Have you recovered from Louisville Cardinals Kevin Ware’s injury? I know he will be fine. He is already on the road to recovery, he announced David Letterman’s Top 10 list the other night and will be joining his teammates in Atlanta for the Final Four. But have you recovered from the injury. I haven’t. In case you missed it or just a giant sick freak, I play the injury one time…but for everyone else, feel free to look away.

The reason I haven’t recovered from his injury because it has yet to be explained how perfectly normal athlete can jump in the air and just by simply landing have his bone to explode out of his skin. I can’t walk up a set of stairs without praying that my bones don’t completely dissemble. The biology of it doesn’t make sense. Louisville has used the slogan “Rise to the occasion” all season — just hopefully after they rise their bones don’t collapse like a game of Jenga when the land on the court.

Its Final Four weekend which means its a Dickie V dance party weekend. Thank you ESPN for taking this video from funny, to awkward, to hilarious.

Although most of the basketball world is focused on Atlanta this weekend for the Final Four, the biggest story this week is from the practice videos of the now former Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice. The videos were made public during an episode of ESPN’s Outside The Lines showing Rice physically and verbally abusing his players.

First off, who knew Rutgers actually had a basketball team? Second, how did a player not punch him right in the face? Seriously, I don’t care if I would lose my scholarship — I would’ve walked right up to the coach and drop-kicked him right in the nuts. Let’s be honest its not like Mike Rice was creating a basketball factory out of Rutgers. The team could not even sniff a .500 record the past three seasons, and I’m sure some of the those players wouldn’t mind getting a ball thrown at them if Mike Rice’s coaching talent would’ve led to fame and fortune in the NBA. But it hasn’t. Rutgers fans [all ten of them] are complaining that if Rice was winning, this probably would not have been such a big deal. Of course. If Bobby Knight could’ve made me an NBA Lottery Draft pick, I would’ve let me teabag me at the end of every practice.
