Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) The Lost Tapes, Behind the scenes (2) – YouTube
I’m going to write this piece above as an obvious counter piece to “If Barack Obama Was White’ sometime next week before my wife and I head out to Denver to have a Super Bowl party with the kids.
I need to write ‘If Donald Trump Was Black’ for obvious reasons in an effort to somehow get thru the fact I live in the bleak cultural abyss known as Oklahoma.
I just watched Houston beat Portland on the TNT game with the magnificent Kevin Harland on the call. He’s become the best as far as I’m concerned calling an NBA game on televison. Kind of like Gary Thorne used to be calling ice hockey games on ESPN back in the day. Those voices.
Houston is not going to tank. They’re not bad at all. These two games with them in Oklahoma City should be very interesting. The Houston pick should be a mid-range first rounder.
I also watched parts of Miami losing to an LA Clippers team which has some Covid issues of their own. Another loss for the Heat. All the sudden the Miami Heat is of some significant interest to the OKC basketball market moving forward I would think.
Durant and Harden in Oklahoma City tonight…I’ll be treating it as if it’s a playoff game on my blog. All the sudden this NBA season kind of became interesting in Oklahoma City.
Go figure.
Have a nice Friday. Do things for yourself which help you find inner peace in these turbulent times we are all living through circa 2021.
Do things which give you joy. Find that little space of Ferris Bueller which should reside in all of us. But most of all…be kind and thoughtful to others. Don’t set a Donald Trump domestic terrorist on fire if you can avoid it.
Alabama at Oklahoma on Saturday at 11:00am in Norman…I might go and sit with the cardboard people. Surely–the cardboard people have more intellectual depth than the average Trump voter in Oklahoma. I might do a Dave Letterman-like interview with one of the cardboard people if I attend the game. I might name the cardboard person I sit next to as … Little Sam Anderson. We should have great deal to talk about. Use your imagination.
Have a great week-end.
