Just on Pardon the Interruption, celebration of Camby’s 50th birthday! Happy 50th Birthday, Marcus Camby!
GREAT discussion of Camby and his UM and NBA accomplishments.
They said Friday as they started that segment, and they're right, his big day is tomorrow.
Could have done without them mentioning how the Final Four was vacated, but it was still an overall positive segment.

Ha. Sam was pretty scary back then. I took my young daughters to a game and they were so frightened by just looking at Sam that I couldn't ever get them to go again. Oh, and happy birthday to Marcus.
Not sure when UMass changed Sam’s look, but my grandson, now 10, was terrified of Sam when he was younger. When kids could go onto the floor and shoot hoops post-game, he would cry and would not leave our seats until he saw Sam leave the arena.

Sam's look has gone through several updates over the years, each with varying degrees of charming and creepy. All infinitely more charming than the Billiken though.

I think it's an obligation for all mass media to always mention the vacated Final Four even though the NCAA is one of the most corrupt institutions in our nation's history.
