John Thompson III admits he delivered a fake pregame speech for TV - Jeff Eisenberg - 1 hour ago

Certainly a slightly different take by Eisenberg than the prior two articles on this by NBC and the original piece by the Washington Post blog. Everyone else believes that what JT3 did in terms of faking the speech is definitely the norm rather than the other way around and JT3 was just the first to admit what I assume most of us suspected is true while watching those pregame speeches. Definitely seems a little bitter about the lack of access that Georgetown provides at time. Everyone else was more positive about it. I love that he did what he did and think it's hilarious. And Georgetown isn't hurting for exposure. If you read his full quotes he does let media members in for this type of stuff plenty, but he does coach differently in front of them and he would prefer not to have them there, but realizes the benefit of having them there for the program.

A lot of the "inside access" stuff is complete nonsense, like reality TV. Congrats to JTIII for pulling back the curtain.
