FanHouse Seth Davis

'HouseCast is FanHouse's audio podcast. Watch out. You might just get what you're after.

"Burning Down the 'House," the most popular podcast on FanHouse, storms the court in its return to the airwaves this week as Ryan Wilson and Will Brinson chat with special guest Seth Davis -- CBS analyst and SI.com writer, as well as author of the new book "When March Went Mad: The Game That Transformed College Basketball" -- to talk about Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson, "bloggable stories" and the Cameron Crazies. Additionally, Brett Pollakoff swings by to discuss the state of the NBA, the MVP race, and Shaq on Twitter. We also talk to Michael David Smith for a quick take on whether or not Jay Cutler is "a little b*tch." So, ease your chair back, stop working and indulge.

Media criticism brings out bad things in people, but you manage to keep an even keel. You know that Duke bias is in fact just part of a systemic problem, not the product of a Blue Devil conspiracy.

That is not to say you're unannoyed by Dick Vitale, or Mike Patrick, or Jay Bilas (personally, I think Bilas is very objective), but chances are you don't yell at your TV as much you used to. That role is reserved for the pre-eminent Vitale-haters.

You're aware that ESPN employs Hubert Davis, Brad Daugherty, Stuart Scott and Peter Gammons, all former Tar Heels. And that they use Bonnie Bernstein, Len Elmore, Scott Van Pelt and Tim Kurkjian ... former Maryland Terrapins.

Or that Duke grad John Feinstein will, at times, rip into his former school. Don't forget CBS's Seth Davis ... a Duke grad and former towel boy for the basketball team. Heck, Sean McManus ... who runs CBS Sports ... also attended Duke.

The overall point being ... there is no overall point. The elites are biased towards a handful of elite programs because that's what they know. It will be ever thus, and we can only hope for improvements along the margins.

Judgment: You are a Reasonable Hater, Working Toward a Better Tomorrow.

Good luck in all that you do.
