That Day Late Weekend Roundup

I’m outta wack every Monday. I always forget it’s Monday for some reason until like 2 in the afternoon. It’s not like I even think it’s Sunday or Tuesday either, I just think it’s some weird made up day that is happening as I wait to go to my usual Monday night work shift. Again, my USUAL MONDAY night work shift that is for MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. I don’t know, I don’t get it. But anyway, I forgot to do the weekend roundup so I’m gonna do one a day late but not include anything from yesterday because I blogged yesterday, if that makes sense. There wasn’t a whole lot going on but I’ll hit a few topics.

Notre Dame- I hate Notre Dame so I really love nothing more than seeing them crash and burn in football year in and year out but this year is a little different. They are actually really bad. I think at this point they’ve underachieved so hard that it would be bananas to keep Brian Kelly as head coach. It’s too much and he’s gotta go. Even for me, I want Notre Dame to at least feel like they might have some hope before they ruin it all. It’s no fun if they just plain suck.

Michigan- When I have two college football topics in a roundup you know the weekend was pretty slow. Anyway, Michigan literally murdered Rutgers in one of the most lopsided games I’ve seen. And amazingly all the maise and blue did was run it down their throats. I’m pretty sure this is up there with Jim Harbaugh’s most satisfying wins, not because of the score but because that’s just old school football that produced that beatdown.

NFL- Tom Brady came back and torched the city of Cleveland, Jeff Fisher inched closer to .500, Dak Prescott took Tony Romo’s job, Clipboard Jesus made an appearance (the promptly got hurt and got cut), San Diego blew another game, Jack Del Rio has big balls again and the Vikings are better without Adrian Peterson. Light day by all accounts.

The Debate- As much as I’m a fan of #sports, I keep skipping Sunday Night Football for the debates. It’s just the best form of reality tv when you put aside the fact that we’re all probably screwed. It was like a real heavyweight fight and by heavyweight fight I mean over the top SNL skit that not even Lorne Michaels would buy. With all the entertainment coming from these events, the NFL is losing big time in the ratings. Someone should tell Roger Goodell that if he wants to compete he needs a big, loud lunatic with weird hair spitting nonsense at America on SUNDAY night, not Monday night.

JR Smith- Speaking of crazy individuals, the Celtics are expressing interest in a certain sharpshooter from Cleveland who would be entertaining as hell/possibly implode a good, young team. The good thing is that LeBron James will force the Cavs to sign Smith or else he’ll throw a hissy fit and subtweet them for a few weeks.
