Nick Saban's Daughter With Joe Burrow, ESPN Bet Girl Deserves A Raise & Deion Sanders Calls Out The Poor Folk
Look at us – we made it! We stuck together, fought through adversity, and made it through the opening weekend of March Madness in one piece, and as one unit.
Proud of everyone. It surely wasn't easy – never is – but ya'll did it. You made it to the final Monday in March, by the grace of God, and now you're gonna get rewarded with a class full of shenanigans.
On that note, welcome to a Monday Nightcaps – the one where we do a little betting with ESPN's Erin Kate Dolan, a NC OG wayyyyyyy before Rece Davis made her go viral yesterday. If you know, you know.
What else? I've got Nick Saban's loose cannon daughter, Kristen, doing the Dixieland Delight with Joe Burrow in Chicago (what a Mad Lib!), Lane Kiffin's girlfriend checking in during the 'Bama game, John Daly being one of us and Deion Sanders definitely NOT being one of us.
How's that sound for a Monday menu? I hope it sounds good, because that's what you're getting in this economy.
Grab an Ultra Right as you get ready for RFK Jr.'s useless VP pick tomorrow and settle in for a Monday class that'll make you forget how much money you lost this weekend!
The Rece Davis drama yesterday was so silly
I know you probably missed it because who knew there was a … basketball … College GameDay on ESPN, but there is, and it caused a ton of (fake) anger yesterday.
Turns out, you can't be at all tongue-in-cheek when it comes to gambling, and poor Rece Davis found that out the hard way when he was talking to Nightcaps OG Erin Kate Nolan – ESPN's crack betting expert.
Hilarious. And guess what? It WAS a good bet! Excellent advice from Erin, and Rece doubling down was even better.
Was it a bit of a sweat at the end? Sure. But I never had a doubt, thanks to Rece!
As for yours truly, I cleaned up this weekend gambling by hitting a couple NHL parlays. The kitchen is starting to COOK again, boys and girls. Buckle up.
Thanks for the tip, Erin!
Speaking of money, good luck going after Deion Sanders
Welcome back to class, Erin! Electric couple days for you, but don't forget where you came from. Don't be such a stranger next time – you always have an open seat around here!
And so does Deion Sanders, for obvious reasons. Some people love Prime. Others think it's too much. All an act. A shtick. A ruse.
I'm always pro-content, and Coach Prime is an absolute machine when it comes the #content. Whether it's the pregame pep talks, the sunglasses, the constantly sounding like a fortune cookie – I'm always all-in.
This little gem from Deion over the weekend was another all-timer. Put it in a cookie or on a Bed, Bath & Beyond motivational bedroom pillow, STAT!
John Daly off the tee, Kristen Saban, Lane Kiffin & is anyone else having this argument?
For those reading this who hate me and miss Anthony, rest assured that you most certainly CAN afford my attention. I just had to buy my kid a new bed. My attention is basically free at this point.
Speaking of that …
Quick life update: we've had smooth-sleeping through the night for three straight nights. Three! Unreal turn of events. What could possibly go wrong now that I've jinxed it? Nothing!
Speaking of jinxes … rapid-fire time on this final Monday of March.
First up? Lane Kiffin's girlfriend, Sally Rychlak, another OG Nightcaps member.
I'm with Sally here. Poor form from Lane. He should know better.
Speaking of the Madness … was it just me or was it a pretty meh opening weekend? The Oakland win over Kentucky was fun, but I feel like we just didn't have a ton of great games otherwise?
Texas-Tennessee was a good game, but also an awful game at the same time. The game Lane jinxed was good until the wheels came off at the end. Hookstead's Badgers lost, so that was funny.
But otherwise? Meh.
Frankly, the only thing that really got me fired up all weekend was the Kate Middleton special report from Friday. We talked about it during class last week, but it didn't stop there.
I still, for the life of me, can't understand why CBS cut into a March Madness game to tell us about her cancer. It's awful, obviously, and we're all rooting for her, but the First Lady and I argued for a solid two days about whether it was worthy of a cut-in during March Madness.
She tells me I'm in the minority. I told her most people would agree with me. Anyone else have that argument? Did it end as poorly as mine did? Let me know!
Next:
My God. It's just the worst. I have sat up in bed at night so many times imagining that happening to me, and it never gets any less embarrassing.
It's why I always use driver. Always. Unless it's a Par-3, it's never a tough decision for me, because at least with the driver I can fake it. You know what I mean?
It's such a forgiving club and so massive, that it's almost impossible to top it. Almost. I've of course done it, but, most of the time, I can at least put some good wood on it and act like it was a good shot.
There's no escaping how poor this shot was for John. Everyone saw it. Horrifying.
Finally, have a weekend, Kristen Saban!
Take us into a big final week of March, Katherine Webb
Kristen Saban and Joe Burrow together? That's gotta be a sin in Alabama. Has to be. I refuse to believe it.
Big class for the SEC today, though! College football is a year-round sport, you know. The season never stops.
Don't look now, but I believe we've reached the 5-month mark to kicking things back off in August.
Just saying.
OK, Katherine Webb is gonna take us into the week because she was an absolute RUNAWAY winner in Friday's poll asking who the best American-made star was over the past decade.
Coming in second was Ohio State girl, followed by JJ McCarthy's now-fiancee, Katya Kuropas.
Good to see ya'll still appreciate the classics.
Now let's go have a week.
