What it do Rod, Karen and Jane Kiffin,
I hope all is well.
Lane Kiffin is a messy bitch that lives for drama. Tell me why that Al Davis presentation about firing Kiffin from almost 20 years ago is still accurate? Only Lane would tell Ole Miss he wanted to coach them through the playoffs before leaving for LSU *and then* threaten to take the whole staff and half the roster to LSU if Ole Miss didn’t let him coach in the playoffs. Kiffin leaves jobs like Drake leaves relationships: a fucking mess and wondering folks are mad at them for their fuckery.
It’s been a great week in sports. That feeling of praying for your opps downfall and getting to see it? Nothing else like this negativity.
Ohio State got their get back against Michigan and beat them like Hooked on Phonics fighting Floyd Mayweather; I think it was a touching of Michigan to not just score 9 points in honor of JJ McCarthy; McCarthy ain’t dead but he has become the official meme of sorry QBs. Ryan Day called an excellent game and I’m convinced the lesson here is that bullying works. Fuck Michigan, fuck that Hey There Mister Blue song, fuck Faygo, fuck Ford Motors and fuck Michigan!
Speaking of the opps falling asunder, getting fired at an airport gotta feel like being punched in the nuts. Between Ty Lue and Chris Paul, who are we supposed to trust: NBA Champion coach and bag securing legend Ty Lue OR the nigga that hits folks in the nuts?
I hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of y’all week.
Peace,
Dough
Hi Rod, Karen and Jhris Balls,
Well, the Little General was early retired by the Clippers. I thought two things when I heard the news. One, wow the Clippers did him dirty. CP3 made that sorry franchise relevant and should be the first player to have his jersey hanging from Intuit, how could they do this to him!? But also…I totally get it. Because he is a fucking pain in the ass and dirty ball smacking player who seems to disappear in the playoffs. Bomani commented that people seem to like him off the court – like Lebron. And I’ve seen him on a vegan documentary and found him likeable. I was wondering: Have you or Justin ever played against someone who was such a horrible person on the court at the Y, but you found him really likeable off the court?
Lastly, shout out to Elden Campbell. He was one of my favorite Lakers during that post-Magic, pre-Kobe era in the ‘90s. RIP to the Big Easy.

Hi everybody
Chris Paul announced his retire when he went back for the Charlotte game, so it was nice to see the Panthers guy pay tribute to him by punching the 49ers bloke in the balls.
Also, it’s been fun watching the Heat play this year. Powell has been a great addition.
Have a good 1

Part of the impasse with the negotiations between the WNBA and the union seems to be that the league ain’t trying to come off of any more of that Basketball Related Income. Right now the players only get 9 percent of the BRI and, while I tend to believe that they would accept the salaries that the league is offering, until the league is ready to budge on offering a bigger percentage of that BRI, too, we’re probably not going to see a deal.
Talking about Bears QB during your lifetime, McMahon was a better leader than Cutler, but Cutler was better for Fantasy Football.
Also, did you hear that both MLB & NFL have increased restrictions on prop bets?
