And now, the reactions

There must be a name for what Robert Phinisee did in the last half-heartbeat of Indiana's game against Butler yesterday, other than That Is Totally Ridiculous. A 3-ball launched from, I don't know, Greenwood, maybe? At the buzzer? To win the game, 71-68?

There are any number of possible ways to celebrate that. The Blob, of course, not being particularly imaginative, has decided the best way is to rework its treadworn Blob feature, The NFL In So Many Words, into Reactions To Robert Phinisee's Game-Winning Shot In So Many Words.

("Seriously? You are so pathetic," you're saying.)

Anyway ... here goes:

1. "Well, looks like over-- What the HELL?" (Dozens of Indiana fans in sports bars, living rooms and  lavishly appointed, totally-crimson man caves)

2. "Well, looks like over-- What the HELL?" (Dozens of Butler fans, etc., etc.)

3. "Well, looks like over-- What the HELL?" (Indiana coach Archie Miller)

4. "Meh. Been there, done that." (Christian Watford)

5. "Arrrrgh! Been there, done that." (John Calipari)

6. "Hey, look, it's Steph Curry!" (Fans of Steph Curry)

7. "Hey, that's my shot, dammit!" (Steph Curry)

8. "Dear Mr. Phinisee: This is a letter advising you to cease-and-desist immediately, or risk legal action for copyright infringement." (Steph Curry's attorney)

9. "Please, dude." (Guy guarding Robert Phinisee, as he rose up to shoot)

10. "What the HELL?" (Same guy, a second or so later)
