Brown being traded to the Los Angeles Rams.

0:00.0	What I've dedicated my life to is revenge. A brand new drama based on the best-selling novel. They think they're better than us. Who do you think you are? I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong. She's punishing me. You destroyed my family. I will not rest until I've destroyed yours. A Woman of Substance on Channel 4 starts tonight at 9.
0:44.8	Bruce Pearl is the most interesting man in the NCAA tournament, and that's a real problem.
0:53.3	There's no reason for Bruce Pearl to be the most interesting man in the NCAA tournament.

2:38.0	threat. They had a mediocre season, finished strongly, enjoyed the knit, Oklahoma. Did Miami of Ohio
2:48.0	belong in the NCAA tournament? Of course they did at 31.
2:51.9	I don't care about their net rating.
2:53.7	I don't care about their strength of schedule.
2:56.2	They won 31 straight games.
2:59.3	Them playing on Wednesday in a play-in game.
3:02.6	Not controversial to me.
