Europe's newest 19 year old just got a whole lot richer

Brandon Jennings wanted to sign an endorsement deal with Under Armour.

Then two months later — to the day, even — Under Armour officially announced that the hoops star finally figured out how to compose a signature — something that probably would’ve boosted his SAT scores.

But you know what? That’s not the news. Nope, not even close.

The real news here is that Jennings will write a blog for Under Armour’s Web site. You read that correctly. He will write a blog. The kid who couldn’t scholastically qualify to play Division I basketball will write a blog.

It’s undoubtedly a huge blow to the sports blogging community that takes pride in its witty snark. Whereas now, our superior level of eloquent writing will include lines like: “Yoooo I been ballin’ up dis little italian dude… but itz all good feel me cuz me makes legit pasta son.”

Just let that one simmer.

Remember that list of shoes we came up with that OJ Mayo would never let fly? That needs to be modified from “would never” to “should never.”

Then the yellow kicks he sported on Memphis’ photo day should be added to the list.

They’re just nasty.

Seriously, it looks like he partied all night, woke up and puked bile straight down. First Kevin Durant, now Juice. David Stern should create a fine for wearing these shoes.
