March Madness National Championship Game Open Thread

Well, what do you expect from man who just killed his childhood idol? Sure, he sounds crass. But how would you sound if you just killed your hero, you don't speak any English, and suddenly the country whose values you espouse and secretly dream of bringing to your country hates you? Drago did not kill Apollo Creed. Apollo Creed killed apollo creed, with assists from Rocky Balboa and an incompetent referee. The fact of the matter is that Creed killed himself when he manipulated his way into fighting Drago. He had no business getting in the ring with anyone, for that matter. He was a god damned Has Been, just like straight-shooting Russian antagonist Nicoli Koloff said he was. Honestly, it could be argued that Creed was washed up before his first fight with Rocky. He eked out a controversial spit-decision victory against a struggling club fighter who only had six weeks to train for the fight. Then, a year later, he was knocked out by the same club fighter, who was boxing right-handed for the first time, nursing a surgically repaired eye, and had virtually no strategy (Run through him? Run over him? Thanks, Mick). What business does a man like that have getting into a ring with someone who can punch at 2150 pounds per square inch? Of course Drago punched a hole through Creed's head -- it's not his fault -- with 2150 psi, he could punch a hole through God.
