JAYFORCE

Three judges (Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Kenan Thompson) play favorites while reviewing students’ (Mikey Day, Vanessa Bayer, John Cena) projects.

Okay, knowing that @ojones1 is on the squad and that he is an Alabama alum and die-hard Tide fan aside… this is hilarious! Shout to A Tribe Called Quest and Dave Chappelle for getting eyes back onto Saturday Night Live for real back a while ago. So glad to have caught this ep. Damn O-Jeezuz, your school’s athletes research many of those ’round orange bananas’? And banana peel crust for real?? BWAAAAAHAHAAAAA!

But fair is fair. Read the @ojones1 commentary/response/rebuttal/whatev after the jump!

Okay, okay. I can’t be that dude that can’t take a joke. The sketch was mad funny. I laughed. Plus, I am a John Cena fan. Moreover, I cannot argue that some athletes – football, basketball, and other sports teams’ players – did skate through some classes while I was on campus. Heck, I chose a couple of electives back in the day because I knew athletes took them for easy A’s. That said, I know of decent to brilliant student-athletes who matriculated at The Capstone. Like Crimson Tide Quarterback Greg McElroy. He earned a Marketing undergrad degree, went on the earn a Master’s degree, and was a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship.

Oh, and he has a Championship ring, too. So there’s that. Roll Tide!
