Digger Phelps can’t stop touching Bob Knight

March 17th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanE

Fellow FanHouser Charles Rich has this Red Lasso video of Digger Phelps and Bob Knight analyzing basketball together, if by “analyzing” you mean “Digger touching Bob Knight’s shoulder in a gentle, reassuring, way.” This is one of the weirder portions of Knight’s time on ESPN. Not only did Knight fail to do anything interesting (that is, until Dick Vitale got a bit too friendly last night), Digger and Knight couldn’t be worse matches on camera. Knight is relaxed and hoarse and slouching — Digger is erect, handsy, and tielighter-clad. These two can’t possibly be friends.

In other news, Red Lasso is the best thing to happen to blogs since Youtube. I have no idea how it’s legal, but it apparently is. Yay for murky fair use!
