Howdy Rod, Karen and J Trill,
I hope all is good with y’all!
Not enough is made of LeBron James having a photographic memory and being a basketball genius. What kinda hot fire scouting report do y’all believe King James thought up on Anthony Davis last night? Justin, which young players would you be willing for the Lakers to part with in order to get Davis? Rod, if Davis goes to LA, shich agenda wins out: LeBron getting a ring or Davis is overrated? Karen, what do think about Davis going to either LA or Boston? And are all of y’all still worried Kemba is leaving?
Know what another great use of a photographic memory is? Being able to use it to talk up your son in a shining moment of #BlackFatherhood. LeBron out here being encouraging to his son while spitting exact details from the game? That was so sweet. Conversely, the only advice I can think of Jordan giving his kids was telling them to pick his new wife over their mom, if their broke asses knew what was good for them.
Y’all the Browns could finish with a winning record for the first time since 2007! Look at the Browns out here shining on these niggas and making me almost forget that they tried to float the idea of interviewing Condoleezza Rice. No shade, but I feel bad for y’all Panthers fan cuz of other fans. It seems like the most chatitable some Carolina fans are about Cam is to talk about Cam like he’s a tall Jay Cutler? How does the Panthers fans hating Cam compare to Eagles fans hating McNabb?
I wrestled in middle school, high school and college. I love the sport, but one of the things that made it so rewarding for me was that I had coaches all along the way that would’ve fought (and yes, some would’ve thrown hands) for any of us if a known racist ref tried to pull some shit like having our fucking locs sheared in front of a crowd of white people. I’m obviously livid with the ref, but that child’s coach failed him. Oh and part of why some of my coaches would not have let that happen is because my high school team was almost entirely Black and half our coaching staff was too. That child looked so isolated out there.
And I know the kid “made the choice”, but running the ref running the injury clock was pressuring that child into getting his locs cut. Oh and fuck the reporter who said the boy was being a “good sport”. The caucasity required for that headline? Goddamnit. I could go on at length about the fuckedupedness of that “team” mentality but i won’t here.
And wrestling is white as hell to boot. I once had a college trammate accuse me of having a skin infection because a scab on my face healed and the fresh skin was a different color than the rest of the skin. This dumbass didn’t know what scars on Black skin looked like! I feel so much for that kid.
Sorry for the length of this. Thank you for all the awesome work y’all have done on this show, the rest of the premium network and the regular show. Y’all are fucking incredible. I hope y’all have a wonderful holiday and a great and safe New Year. Peace y’all!
Hey Rod and Jyrie Irving
Rod didn’t believe Steph was trolling about that moon landing, and apparently neither does Kyrie! Is this really the nigga you want coming to your side? Steph gotta look at him like hold up playa, I’m good. He was about to spin his way out with some good PR, but here comes Kyrie to drag him back down, talking about they don’t get the best of college education. Nigga, did you skip elementary school too? This is the biggest case against college students being paid in class ever, but I’m still gonna side eye Coach K and Duke.
And in your annual reminder the NFL coaching talk is racist, did you know the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs was Black? Eric Bieniemy has been on staff for six years and has the best offense in the league and I haven’t heard a peep about him even getting interviewed for a head coaching job. I know Andy Reid is gonna get most of the credit, but that didn’t stop Doug Pederson from getting a job in Philly or any of Belichick’s assistants from working every year. The Chargers have more wins than any team in the league for the last year and a half but Bo is the only I hear talking about their coach. It’s wild when it’s this transparent.
But that doesn’t mean they’re all good. The Browns fired Hue Jackson and they already won more in 6 games under Gregg Williams than they did in the last 3 years with him. I’m just here for my nigga though. Talk. Yo. Shit. Dough!!! Let em know what a team fighting for the playoffs looks like.
P.S. Y’all asked if anybody was a 49ers fan last week, and I had to hit that homer into the bushes gif after that Ruben Foster mess. It’s hard out here when they’re making my Knicks looks like a classy, professional organization. Peace y’all and hope you enjoy your holidays!
