We have a Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns Emirates Cup quarterfinal tonight in OKC and I could care less given the fact I’m not sure if Devin Booker is playing. And does it really matter who plays for the Thunder until they start playing the second best Denver Nuggets (17-6) six times starting in early February. That’s when MJ will come alive NBA-wise on the blog.
Denver basically is playing an eight man rotation right now with both Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (high ankle) still both sidelined. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones have done a decent job filling those minutes and one would think this experience for these two guys will help Denver come playoff time.
As far as the College Football Playoff bracket…I thought given the fact the sport is broken and this is what the Committee had to sort through…they did okay. I’m thrilled with how OU is lined up on the bracket. I must be the only human in America who feels this way. One game at a time, baby. Whether R Mason does or doesn’t play in the OU-Bama rematch in Norman…I like OU’s chances and have them at maybe a -1 home field favorite in the game.
Why would I do this? Because I think OU has a top five defense, the best kicker in the nation, a WR/punt returner and big play guy in Isaiah Sategna who is on fire, and have two guys named Taylor Wein and Kip Lewis. Plus…I think John Mateer with three weeks rest and some time to decompress will up his game as it needs to be upped. Plus, RB Xavier Robinson should be healthy with the three weeks of downtime.
As far as Alabama…they cannot run the football and it was the Sooners’ defense which exposed then Heisman frontrunner Ty Simpson on the national stage in the 23-21 road upset which altered the trajectory of the OU season. Simpson hasn’t played well in a game since. He looks like a broken piece of shit redneck truck leaking oil… analogy-wise. He in fact…looks even more broken than college football as a whole. You can see it in eyes. Taylor Wein broke him. Just plain broke him.
As far as Notre Dame…wah. Cry MJ a river and go make up some bullshit event on your own network over there at NBC and play Boston College or Texas or Stanford or St. Mary’s for the Catholic National Championship or the Spoiled Brat National Championship. Your strength of schedule absolutely sucked and you lost head to head versus Miami.
As far as college football…they need to expand the Playoff to sixteen teams next season and figure out how to create something to take the place of the bowls which one can clearly see are on the path to extinction.
As far as the new little head coach at O State…Eric Morris, dude…your group hasn’t won a Big 12 game in two seasons. Be honest with your fanbase. Don’t rattle that OU hate saber with all your Mike Gundy mobil home donors who can’t pay their own utility bills and are eating at Taco Bell every other night. Don’t do that shit, bruh.
That’s it for MJ.
Maybe a song for the Notre Dame fanbase would seem appropriate right now. This might be too much for them though.
Eternal love, MJ
