There is much talk about the Mayweather/Ortiz fight… the cheap head butt, the cheap punches, the yelling match between Mayweather and Larry Merchant… we can discuss those things forever. If you didn’t see the fight, thankfully we have YouTube so you can catch all of the controversy that...

A lot has been made about the situation between Jalen Rose and Grant Hill. In case you are unaware, Jalen Rose executively produced a documentary about he and his 4 teammates as part of the “Fab 5.” The “Fab 5” were the freshman class of basketball recruits for the University of Michigan...

All this talk about Michael Vick going on Oprah… Michael Vick is doing the right thing not going on Oprah. I don’t care who told him not to go on her show; the Eagles, the NFL, Tony Dungy, or whoever, but he didn’t need to go on Oprah. Oprah is a hater, simple as that she is a hater....

I love sports. I will watch ESPN before I’ll watch anything else – Sportscenter, PTI, NBA, College Basketball, College Football, the NFL; I’ll even watch Hockey and Baseball during the playoffs in each sport. I even catch myself watching golf. When the commentator says “we’re...

One of the ‘baddest’ men in music history is James Brown. “The Godfather of Soul” had a song that he recorded many years ago and it was called “Talking Loud and Saying Nothing.” You and I know a lot of people who talk loud and say nothing. A person like this is someone whose bark...

Cameron Newton…Quarterback for the University of Auburn. Pardon my vernacular when I say: this brotha is bad. When I say that the brotha is bad, I mean he is the truth on that football field. In a year where Heisman hopefuls were slim to none and the biggest question was will Boise State...

I’ve always had an opinion on athletes, particularly Black athletes and how they are viewed in American society. What always gets me shaking my head is the contrast between the colorblind evaluations of talent; teams playing the best, most talented players regardless of skin color and the...

Last night I watched a very interesting documentary. I’ve spoken before about ESPN’s 30 for 30 programs and they are excellent. I have just about watched them all. These documentaries are about sports but sports in the context of world effects and social conflicts. A few come to mind...

I knew that it was going to happen. It was only a matter of time. Thankfully, it didn’t happen to Donovan McNabb. If it did, he would have probably requested a trade out of Philly. But here it is: the end of week one and there is a quarterback controversy in Philadelphia. Michael Vick has...
