THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:

Some try to sell what a great season it is because Stanford and St. Joseph's could enter the tournament undefeated!
Are you actually listening to yourselves? How did Egghead U. become the No. 1 team in the nation?
And St. Joseph's? Isn't that the fifth-best team in Philadelphia? St. Joseph's has 3,800 students. It should be playing Cal Lutheran.
OooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!
