Blind Item #8
This bracket bust of a team had an early exit. A very early exit. I wonder if it has anything to do with their star player staying out late the night before the game with his soon to be signed agent and the agent's female friends who spent some alone time with the future NBA pick. The drinking probably didn't help. Apparently the missed curfew violation was overlooked too.
Someone from Duke? Parker?
ReplyDeleteYou go glen cocoa
DeleteParker is a Mormon. So he's really getting it on & dumping his upbringing!
DeleteYes Cocoa its Duke and Jabari Parker. Very good.
ReplyDeleteFinally Enty throws Uncle Sandybrook a bone at the 230 blind and he's not here for it.
ReplyDeleteBrian Boitano
Flyers
No idea
A March Madness Blind. No thanks, I'm good.
ReplyDeleteWrong sport Kristin. There is no team in ice skating. :(
ReplyDeleteYou gonna be watching this week, Sandy?
ReplyDeleteI'm leading my bracket pool and in ESPN that same bracket is in the top .1% of all their entries (which means 5989).
ReplyDeleteYes Cocoa I will be.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Duke and Parker. Sports shows the next day saying that if that is Parker's A-game, he needs another year in school.
ReplyDeleteIf he screws up that bad when trying to showcase himself for the draft, whats he going to be like when he gets a fat contract and is traveling the country night in and night out, playing on a horrible team?
I'll be in Anaheim watching Arizona and San Diego, and Baylor and Wisconsin. Then whoever on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWho is this Jabba The Duke? Is he the Brian Boitano of college basketball?
ReplyDeleteThat ought to be fun. San Diego should bring in a lot of their fans and so should Arizona.
ReplyDeleteGood job Cocoa!!
ReplyDeleteUh not really Kristin he didn't win anything and disappeared all game long. Unlike Mr. Boitano.
ReplyDeleteMy pick..Iowa State is still in it.
ReplyDeleteCount! I thought you said college basketball is boring as shit!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew, Kristin. I'm just a savant. :)
Good luck Sugarbread but I need them to lose their next game, sorry.:(
ReplyDeleteNot Michigan - go blue!
ReplyDeleteSorry Kloie I need them to lose too. :(
ReplyDelete@Cocoa: I do hate college BB. I was in my car for 8hrs on Friday, listening to sports talk, and that was what they were mostly talking about.
ReplyDeleteAt least you had cigarettes then, Count? ;-)
ReplyDelete2 packs with me in the truck when I head out for deliveries. I aint payin $13/pk in NY.
ReplyDeleteMUCH prefer NCAA Football, and my team is not a bball contender, so I'll pull for the Gators to represent my state. Go Gaturzzz!
ReplyDeleteTo our readers abroad: March Madness is a college basketball tournament, it all happens in march. It's pretty intense and there's lots of games everyday.
ReplyDeleteMany people who follow the games write their brackets guessing how the matches will end and which universities will be on the Final Four.
@runswithscissors thanks for the explanation. I thought I had entered some weird alternative universe although I am still none the wiser what all this brackets stuff means. Give me some premiership football with 3 points for a win and a bit of goal difference and I'm sorted. Go Liverpool!
Delete@violet, here is what a bracket
DeleteLooks like

BTW, go Chelsea!! Or Go Cardiff Blues! For rugby ;-)
@Violet, I'm American and I still don't get it, but I think it goes something like this.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the preliminary group stages, the evening gown stage, and the final lightening death match, one team will triumph. The school that wins the Mad March pageant sash takes over the presidency for the next 5 years. The losing teams are sent to Cleveland. God bless the USA.
Did I get it right, Count? Sandy?
It's Wiggins from Kansas NOT Parker from Duke.
ReplyDelete@Kristin. Thanks. Perfect sense.I can sleep easy now.
ReplyDeleteNo idea about basketball but Jay Z for the agent taking the player out? He's setting up a sports agency or already has done.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is, my Stepdaddy is CRUSHED that Duke got their asses handed to them.
ReplyDeleteMe being evol, totally laughed my ass off!
This is probably Jay-z trying to sign whoever to his sports management company
ReplyDelete--Brian Boitano
ReplyDeleteFlyers
No idea--
This made me laugh so hard my kid came to see if I was OK.
Thanks!
Im guessing Wiggins too..he was terrible
ReplyDeleteParker+Duke
ReplyDeleteIf pergatory is Cleveland Kristin you did a good job splainin'
ReplyDeleteI love it when Duke looses although I do like Coach K. just the students can be little shits because I'm a Carolina fan. Miss Coach Dean. He was amazing as was Jimmy V.
ReplyDeletethis is wiggins from ks. watch his after game interview. he knows he fucked up and it's on him.

ReplyDelete@Kristin now that is funny, right there!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Wiggins. I don't see Coach K ignoring a curfew violation. He wouldn't announce it but he'd deal with it. Plus they're basically joined at the hip when they travel during the Tournament
