If there is one thing Jaylen Brown is truly elite at, besides turning the ball over with his left hand on a crucial drive, it is convincing himself he is the smartest guy in any room he walks into.The NBA has a long history of foolish quotes, but Jaylen routinely delivers gems so profoundly pseudo-intellectual they belong in a Hall of Fame for tone-deaf vanity.That is saying something in a league run by LeBron.THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.

Which Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood used to his advantage. While his first attempt sailed out of the back of the end zone, the second try fell perfectly to wide receiver JJ Buchanan for the walk-off winner.It was Underwood’s best play of the game, not too surprising considering it was a game-winning Hail Mary. But what was surprising was just how bad he looked for the previous 60 minutes. Really, really bad. For someone whose recruitment turned into a bidding war, with well-heeled donors pushing him to Ann Arbor.CLOCK CONTROVERSY ALLOWS MICHIGAN WOLVERINES TO AVOID MASSIVE UPSET AGAINST WESTERN MICHIGAN Excluding the Hail Mary, Underwood completed just 11 passes on 21 attempts for 127 yards. He had much more success in the running game, with nine rushes for 47 yards and a touchdown. But he frequently looked indecisive as a passer, overthrowing or underthrowing receivers and frequently looking confused in a new offense.After the game and his performance, Michigan head…
