What it do Rod, Karen and Jico Harrison,
I hope all is well.
I don’t remember what happened in Men’s March Madness after UNC beat Duke, I just remember they sent Coach K out sad and with a losing record against UNC. While Florida vs Houston was indeed real hoops, the true shining moment was Duke collapsing like sugar in water against Houston! Fun Fact: Game Theory’s Duke Museum is even more hilarious in the wake of a Duke collapse.
Shouts out to every team that clinched the #1 seed *and* won a championship before. The Cavs sit atop the East and low-key I want them to play and beat Atlanta so I have something to add to my “List of Things The Cavs Haven’t Done Since LeBron Was There”.
By the time y’all read this, has any news dropped why the Nuggets fired Mike Malone? I get why the GM was fired but the coach too?
I felt for Luka as he was trying to not cry even harder when the Mavs played his tribute video, cuz that tribute video should’ve been like a dozen years or whenever he retired from Dallas. Instead, Luka got his flowers from the franchise that trying to Cuban B calling him a fat lazy drunk like 2 months ago? The dissonance from that alone was staggering…and then Luka dropped 45 while the crowd chanting for firing Nico. Even Mark Cuban was pressed! It was a lot to see all at once.
I hope y’all have a wonderful weekend and thanks as always for dope shows!
Peace,
Dough
Hi Rod, Karen and Jico Harris,
So Pat MacAfee finally addressed – but did not apologize for – that horrible rumor he spread about an Ole Miss student, who said she intends to sue him and ESPN. The student is a non-celeb and said her life was made hell by what he said on air about her, just on hearsay, no research or vetting. She said people were texting her to kill herself, coming at her grandfather, making false calls to the police to go to their house. All because he cavalierly threw out a false rumor on air. This is interesting to me because 1) I am loving that these sportscasters like MacAfee and Stephen A. are being called out for their insensitive bullshit, and 2) MacAfee isn’t an ESPN employee. As such, he doesn’t have to abide by their rules, but since he’s on their network, I guess they are on the hook for his reckless behavior. Interested to see the impact of this, if any.
Last few days of the NBA regular season are gonna be fire!! Let’s go Lakers!

Hey Rod, Karen & Jallas Mavericks.
So, Luka went Chong “YOU ARE NEXT” Li on their hapless asses. Shit was fun, even when Dallas had that brief lead in the 4th. Luka & Bron are going to be a problem & those Dallas fan miss that man like a freebie on Onlyfans.
As the Denver Nuggets? Giving Mike Malone the axe was very abrupt with only a couple of games left. These firings, regardless of attitudes, feels very private equity-ish to me.
Peace!
What up rod, Karen and jooper jlag and the juke blue devils. You can damn near set your watch to it. Come late march/early April them dookies gone lose in spectacular fashion , whether it’s against their arch rival in the heels 3 years ago in the final four aka as coach k’s retirement party. Or in the elite 8 against the red headed step child moo U/NC state. But this 1, this choke job right here nigga? Chef’s kiss. And make no mistake, it was a choke job of epic proportions! And I don’t want to hear about how the refs made a bad call on cooper flag at the end of the game to send Houston to the free throw line. We can nit pick every call the stripes make if we wanted to. It’s his to suck to get all the talent year after year and still can’t get over the hump. I was listening to nick wright and he said there are 7 1st rd picks in this year’s nba draft. Dook has 3. I hate to say it but jj redick is gonna be the next dook coach. He’s coaching his ass off in LA. And scheryer rhymes with fired. It’s bound to happen. Alright good people. Have a great weekend!
