Brian Davis Returns for Game 2

I wasn’t even going to write about this again, but I was browsing newsoksports and read some bullshit Barry Tramel wrote on this whole ordeal of typical Oklahoma stupidity.

Here’s the thing to me, the comment Brian Davis made is completely irrelevant.

This man is not a racist. He’s a dude who realizes his viewing base is how do I put this… not all that smart.

He’s just a homer of a sports announcer who somehow ascended to a great job of being the television voice of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Which by the way has probably been the most interesting NBA franchise to follow these past ten years when you consider guys named Durant, Harden, and Westbrook all got their professional start in the league via this organization.

But what this whole story says to me reaffirms why Oklahoma ranks near dead last in education. Why Oklahoma has regressed these past ten years as a state rather than the opposite despite the international fame the pro hoops has provided. Why Oklahoma has a governor who many in this country rank as the worst in the nation. Why Oklahoma has two United States senators who don’t between the two of them appear to know much of anything. Why states like Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Alabama are states where Trump got his largest voting pluralities. Why Oklahoma appears to actually have become dumber these past ten years rather than the opposite.

This is the question Barry Tramel should have posed instead of a page full of words on the origin of the phrase cotton pickin.

Why has Oklahoma actually become dumber these past ten years?

This isn’t about political correctness in Oklahoma. This state has no political correctness. This is the state which gave Donald Trump the gift of Scott Pruitt to run EPA into the ground.

This isn’t about political correctness, it’s about why Oklahoma as a state and a people can’t smarten up and as group start moving into the current century and addressing it’s very pressing issues…like for instance coming to that flash of genius moment where it might want to realize it doesn’t have enough revenue with it’s current tax laws to have something more than the worst state educational system in the country. Or maybe the thought it might be helpful to elect smart people to run the state.

Maybe this is the crux of the issue and it somehow correlates as to the how and why a goofy homer like Brian Davis ever got this job in the first place.

The answer is transparently clear.

Dumb.

Oklahoma is a dumb state.

And in reality–Brian Davis, a smart dude from Northwestern, realized being dumb on the air in Oklahoma was the perfect career move.

Google Peter Principle or Grover Norquist Tax Pledge instead of the origin of cotton pickin’ if you want to reach the truth as to how Brian Davis has kept his job all these years.

Brian Davis back for Game 2.

Go get ’em, Tiger.
