Alright, so they’re delicious, but still. That’s not something you go around admitting.
If you’re like any Blue-blooded Kentucky fan, you get riled up whenever Duke loses. Or even gets close to losing. Or falls flat on their collective faces when they lose to a 15 seed in the first round. I really don’t know why that is at this point; last time we played in the NCAA tournament, we came out on top en route to a National Championship. I think we can all agree that, while we don’t like Coach K, he’s a good coach, and seems to not have the trouble following him that a lot of big-name guys do (i.e. Boeheim, Calhoun, etc.). So it should be water under the bridge. But it’s not. We still just don’t. Like. Duke. Any opportunity to give them a hard time is, in my opinion, a golden opportunity.
So it’s with great zeal that I bring you this latest article from ESPN, titled: “Brian Zoubek, cream puff connoisseur.” For those of you who may have forgotten who Brian Zoubek is, you’re in good company. Most NBA GMs have, too. Let me refresh your memory: he’s the big, goofy looking white guy that gets almost nothing but charge calls and garbage shots. No, not Mason Plumlee. Not Miles Plumlee, either. Stay away from the Plumlees for a minute. This guy is easy to root against. Know who I’m talking about? No, that’s Kyle Singler. Alright, I get it. There are lot of flopping, goofy looking white guys that played for Duke. But this one had a beard. Got it now? Good.
Because he’s opening up a cream puff business in New Jersey. Really. I can’t even make this up. When asked why, he responded that he “want[s] to prove [himself] in something other than sports.”
Of particular interest is the phrase “other than sports.” I could be wrong, but I think he skipped a step there. Don’t you have to prove yourself in sports, before proving yourself in something other than sports? That’s like me saying I picked up learning piano so that I could prove myself in something other than supersymmetric quantum mechanics. He may have been better at basketball than I am at quantum physics, but barely. Point is, you don’t see Anthony Davis taking time to prove himself in something other than sports. Hobbies are for after you retire. Pick up a harmonica and change the world then, for all I care.
So the next time y0u’re in Jersey, I think we can all safely assume that you made a mistake somewhere with your directions, or you got abducted by human traffickers. But if you have a spare moment, stop by Brian Zoubek’s cream puff shop, “Dream Puffz.” It’s okay though, because he won’t actually be making the cream puffs. He’ll just be eating them awkwardly while staring at customers passersby.

Who cares? I like creampies more myself anyways. Corey Nichols SUCKS! How long will KSR keep him around? It’s getting ugly.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:03 am
Can’t wait to see hoe this one gets ripped apart. Sorry Corey, I think you’re fine, but it can be entertainig to see some of the comments on here directed toward you!
May 30th, 2012 at 9:09 am
You know the old saying, “Drink till she’s cute” the same applies to reading a Corey Nichols post…”drink till it’s tolerable”
May 30th, 2012 at 9:13 am
What a crappy article. Sounds like it will do good business to me. If ur going to write an anti duke article, that’s cool, just make it about someone we all remember. Ex. Greg paulus
May 30th, 2012 at 9:13 am
This guy is constistently turrible. By far the worst KSR has to offer. Turrible.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:16 am
UK fans get riled up when Dook loses? I’ve always thought the word ‘riled’ means getting upset or angry over something. I certainly don’t get upset with a Blue Devil loss in anything. Am I missing something?
May 30th, 2012 at 9:17 am
1. I hear Michael Porter also prefers creampies. I’ll show myself out.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:18 am
Corey’s posts are bad enough; it’s enough to make you think BTI is back, under under the influence, using a pseudonym.
The one I can’t figure out is Aaron (sp?) . His (her) posts amount to nothing more than free exposure for another site and never seem to add anything new.
Does Aaron have pictures of Matt with a farm animal?

Sorry Corey, but you sharted in a big way with this one…
May 30th, 2012 at 9:22 am
From Drew Franklin yesterday:
In headlines you didn’t expect to read today, former Duke center Brian Zoubek is opening a pastry shop in New Jersey. Zoubek, whose NBA career failed because of a “back injury,” said he wants to prove himself in something other than sports. He said he has loved cream puffs his whole life and he is going to share that love through his new business, Dream Puffz. If I’m lying, I’m dying.
Come on Corey.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:29 am
#7 I almost spit my coffee onto the screen!! I guess we should both be ashamed of ourselves.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:38 am
WTF is this crap? The guy was a goon at Duke, but he had an injury and is trying to make it in the real world by starting up a business. So what? This requires a post like this? Week ass product you’re throwing out here.
NBA Lottery is this evening and you’re talking about a freaking pastry shop. AWFUL.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:38 am
You guys just posted this yesterday. Holy cow.
“So it’s with great zeal that I bring you this latest article from ESPN” Damn Corey, you make it sound like you made this great discovery.
“Because he’s opening up a cream puff business in New Jersey. Really. I can’t even make this up.” YOU GUYS POSTED THIS YESTERDAYYYY!!!!!!!
You piss me off, Corey. You have to be the laziest blogger I have ever seen.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:39 am
Thanks CorEy, it’ll just be a reminder of why I hate New Jersey more and more everyday.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:40 am
Does Corey thing this site is called “Everything EXCEPT Kentucky Sports?”
May 30th, 2012 at 9:42 am
I wonder if Corey is as irritating in person as he is when posting this crap?
You post the exact same thing you guys posted yesterday, and you make it sound like you made some gra discovery.
Corey “I’ll Do the Heavy Lifting” has to be the worst blogger in the history of KSR.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:45 am
Dear Corey,
One day soon, real-life is going to curb-stomp your onions. Karma dictates such.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:45 am
Who cares? This was a desperate attempt to try and make fun of someone when you have no good reason too.
First, of all he played basketball at Duke. He proved himself in sports at higher level than 99% of people who have picked up a basketball. Even if he didn’t produce, he still played D1 at a blueblood.
Second, you probably couldn’t spell quantum physics until you decided to look it up in the dictionary for this article. Your analogy piss poor at best.
Third, if you can make a living doing a hobby more power to you. Making a living doing something you love is much bettter than ummm lets say writing on a college team blog, something you love Corey, for free, or sitting ina cubicle.
If this guy said he loves strippers and he is going to open a strip club you wouldn’t rip him. He is going to be an entrepreneur and is probably already infinitely more famous and successful than you will ever be. Quit giving the guy hell bc he wants to be a baker.
BTI please come back, this guy officially pisses in my cheerios every morning at 9am. I thought you were a pain sheeesh…….
May 30th, 2012 at 9:48 am
Corey should do the following …
“Greetings Kentucky Fans. This is a link to an article about a Dukie who likes making creampies. We posted this yesterday, but I thought it was funny and I don’t have anything better to write.” Then add the link …
I think Corey’s posts would go better if he was limited to three lines.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:54 am
7- 1000+ internets points
May 30th, 2012 at 9:56 am
Wait, wait… a student blogger on KSR that still lives off mommy and daddy is slighting a Duke grad for starting his own business?
Seems legit.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
The origin of the last name Nichols:
“English and Dutch: patronymic from Nichol.Jewish (American): Americanized form of any of various like-sounding Jewish names.”
I think this explains a lot..Just sayin’…
May 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
What’s that term called that they teach you in your first semester of English class in college? It’s when you make assumptions that a group of people all believe the same thing? Anyways, this article is littered with it. We this, we that … I myself actually dont mind Coach K. And I also respect this ex duke player for trying to make it in a tough economy.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Corey is a putz.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Seriously? Brian Z is “barely” better than you at basketball? He won a National Championship. How many people can say that? And I love how the “real news” never gets out there–like how two surgeries kept him from full performance until senior year, or how his post career “disappearance” was due to two separate incidents of disc herniation and surgery. It’s disgusting how the media misinterprets injuries and blames it on the lack of skill of an athlete. And most college athletes become “lost” after career-ending injuries, so instead we should be celebrating this players new venture, rather than bashing it with such vehemence. I am shocked at the nastiness of this article and saddened that news people have nothing better to do. There is no “sportsmanship” left in media. Good luck with the rest of your illustrious journalism career, Mr. Nichols.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:35 am
LMAO @ BBN’s obsession with Duke. It’s been 21 years since Laettner hit the shot, for god’s sake. GIVE IT UP! Just because UPS advertised it throughout the NCAAT, doesn’t mean it should still hurt. Don’t you Kentuckians have anything better to do than dwell on a loss 21 years ago? BTW– Brian Zoubek has something alot of recent UK players don’t…. a national championship.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:38 am
November 13th …. the ongoing slaughter of Kentucky by Duke. 6 of the last 7 have ended badly for you, and i’m afraid this year will be no different. And that’s whether or not “Nerlens” is eligible.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Zoubekenstein was no elite athlete, but he had one elite skill: offensive rebounding. Duke likely doesn’t stumble into that fluke of a 2010 title without him (and clearly doesn’t without a certain festival of bricks in the Carrier Dome the week before).
May 30th, 2012 at 11:01 am
I wish corey’s mom and dad hadn’t liked creampies so much.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Instinct would say Wizards or Kings. However, realistically, I think the Cavs would be best. Can you imagine Kyrie and Davis together for 5-10 years?
May 30th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Haha wrong thread.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:35 am
29 – nice use of “quotations”.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:49 am
This may go down as the worst post in the history of KSR!!!!!
May 30th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
worst post ever!
May 30th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
I recognize that cream puff! Schmidt’s in Columbus. Great place for German food!!! And the cream puffs are amazing! On a side note…. wtf is this post doing on KSR?
May 30th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
#35 & #36- No, not the worst post. The worst post was when he tried to compare the 4 UK freshmen to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. BY FAR.
May 30th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
#37- Bahama Mamas should have been included, even though it had nothing to do with the post itself. Show some respect!
May 30th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Corey Nichols is a wimpy, goofy looking white guy (just like all of the other reporter dorks who cover basketball). Sounds like you are still bitter about those white athletes back in high school who used to beat you up and have sex with your girl.
And your post about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was just embarrassing. How old are you, you sad pathetic man boy goof?
They should make it legal for all white basketball players to give wedgies to any effeminate sports reporter/blogger that they feel like giving one to. Back in high school the Nichols of the world knew their place because the white jocks would deservedly beat them up. But blogs have given the dweebs a voice– a rather weak, trembling, nerd voice. And the only cure for this that I can think of is wedgies and stuffing the white sports nerds in lockers (locker therapy- it helps cure dorks of their dorkiness).
Later jock sniffing dweebs!
PS. Drew Franklin looks homosexual. He just does. Look at his nerd face.
