As a long-time fan of the Spurs, I found Phil Jackson's self-serving denigration of the Spurs 1999 championship frustrating, but had to admit a certain logic to what he said (and which ESPN gleefully and repeatedly parroted). 

In trying to relieve my frustration at the events of the last couple of days, the only thing that consoles me to any extent is the knowledge that there will forever be an asterisk attached to the 2008 Big 12 Championship.*

I'm not concerned that any punctuation will be necessary for the MNC -- their defense and special teams are just so bad that Florida will tear them apart.
