How Bad Did Mark Jackson Want To Kill Himself Last Night?

 

Got a quick question, who at ESPN makes the schedule for commentators? We couldn’t get a call to the bullpen last night for Mark Jackson? Maybe tag in Jon Barry or Hubie Brown or let Doris do the game? Maybe borrow one of the TNT guys or some shit? Christ almighty that was heartbreaking watching that post game celebration with Mark Jackson. Cruel and unusual punishment, man. Should have given him the night off or something. And not just for him, for the viewer at home. One minute I’m watching Steph Curry wheel and deal and head to the Finals and the next minute it’s like I’m watching Bambi’s mom get shot. No man should have to sit there and watch his team that he groomed head off for a title shot with another man at the helm. No disrespect to Steve Kerr but if the Warriors owner doesn’t get in a pissing match with Mark Jackson then he’s the one lifting that Western Conference trophy and Steve Kerr is on the sidelines with JVG and Breen. Or even worse coaching the goddam Knicks.

The hug between him and Draymond Green was cool and you know there’s no ill will between him and the players but you know deep down, somewhere where he doesn’t want to admit, Mark Jackson is pulling so hard for Lebron and the Cavs. His answer when Breen asked him what was going through his head said it all. Some awkward silence that just screamed “Really Mike? You’re gonna ask me that fucking question right now? As MY confetti pours down celebrating MY team win the west? I’ll tell you what I’m thinking. I’m thinking that if Joe Jacob wasn’t such a cocksucker Id be the one on my way to an NBA Finals and YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!! But no for real, I’m proud.”

Mark deserved better than that, man. Time to just go grab a bullhorn and do some awkward evangelical preaching in public on the street corner!
