Oklahoma City must be crazy dull. Jeff Green, James Harden and Kevin Durant are so bored they’re making music videos now. But you know what? We love it.
We get it: 
Sam Bradford isn’t going to play against Kansas because of his injured shoulder and Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops doesn’t know just how long his Heisman winning quarterback will be out.
So there: Bradford’s status is unclear. Why then does the link on the front of ESPN.com say that the signal caller’s status is beyond unclear? What the hell does that even mean? It’s clear or it’s unclear.
In other football-related news, OJ Simpson is beyond incarceration in prison.
Oklahoma City Thunder rookie James Harden wears his stunner shades at night. While using his former Arizona State teammates as cushions. While sporting a Baron Davis beard.
Yup, you can do that when you’re the third overall pick in the NBA Draft. (We’re assuming that is what he’s referring to with his fingers?)
After starting the season off in an emotionally and physically painful manner, Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford has reason to lift his chin. Yes, he does have a grade two or three AC joint sprain to his throwing shoulder, and there is really no telling when the Heisman winner will be back to action, but not all is gloomy in Norman, Okla.
At least he has insurance.
Yes, Bradford and the nation’s two other top quarterbacks, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, have taken out million-dollar insurance policies. McCoy’s policy ranges from $3 to $5 million, while Tebow’s is worth an estimated $2. It’s unknown just how much Bradford’s is worth, because he is represented by his father, an insurance specialist who denied comment.
“The odds of a kid getting a career-ending injury are slim,” said Kent Bradford, Sam’s father. “But if it did happen, and you had the chance to insure, chances are you would feel pretty dumb. You’re insuring earnings power.”
While he didn’t suffer a career-ending injury, Sam Bradford did prove that he is human, and damn did he pick the right time to insure himself.
If only the Sooners could do the same.
It’s certainly a ridiculous coastal bias, but when I initially think Oklahoma, I think large herds of large animals roaming through corn mazes and wheat pastures that border the town church’s parking lot.
Well in effort to celebrate Boomer Sooner homegrown grassroots pride, one of Norman’s finest livestock was given a clarinet and put it on FOX’s broadcast of the BCS title game.
I typically don’t like overlapping content with Deadspin, because surely the vast majority of readers on this site probably make them a regular destination. But this photo of a teary-eyed Oklahoma band member was too good to pass up.
Best comment so far: “She could have painted Oklahoma University on her cheeks, instead of just OU.”
Think she’s worthy to represent OU here?
