Bobby Knight to make the coming 2008 March Madness bracket tournament even more MADDER

Bobby Knight, you know him, he's the former head coach from Texas Tech who swears more than a dying Iraqi.

And in case you didn't know it yet, Bobby Knight is about to do something many people never thought possible. With the 2008 March Madness bracket tournament merely a few more weeks away, Bob Knight is actually... (drum roll please...) joining the very team he hates most, the media.

Yes, you read it people. Former Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Bobby Knight is joining the media guys from ESPN to cover the coming college basketball tournament this March. How about that huh?

Knight will serve as a college basketball studio analyst during ESPN's coverage of Championship Week presented by Dick's Sporting Goods. I guess you can say Mr. Knight is becoming the DICK he detests most in the past eh?

The ever lovable Bobby Knight has this to say about his new ''team.''

''I think ESPN has been real good for college basketball and I look forward to working with some of their people who I have known a long time.'' Yes, he actually said ESPN has been real good for college basketball.

At least this guy from ESPN is buying it.

''The information, the entertainment, the sophistication, the knowledge he brings about basketball and issues surrounding basketball, add that to how compelling an individual he is, and it made perfect sense for us to put him on our platforms,'' ESPN executive vice president for production Norby Williamson said.

''It always comes back to, how comfortable they are being themselves. One of the things Bob Knight has demonstrated is he'll be himself,'' Williamson added.

''He's going to have an unbelievable, unmatched work ethic, do his homework and be surrounded by people he's comfortable with. We're in a very good position for him to succeed.''

Yeah, and kill an ESPN intern too.
