I didn’t mean to spring the image of former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal’s foot on you like that without warning. I know some of you may be eating right now and… well I just hope you have a strong stomach. I first thought of just posting the image and asking readers what is it? My […]
MYRON ROLLE-FROM THE NFL TO NEUROSURGERY
Congratulations to Dr. Myron Rolle. The former Florida State University Seminole all-American at safety, who graduated in 2.5 years from college and skipped a year before eventually being drafted in the 6th round by the Tennessee Titans, to continue his educational pursuits at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar winner. Your accomplishments need to be […]
RAY ALLEN
I just ate a bowl of loyalty for breakfast. It has been a creed I have lived by nearly my entire life. I played sports, and while not on a professional level, feel like I understand the locker rooms codes and relationships that are formed and abided by beyond just the regular existence of “Man […]
LONZO BALL-ZO2
I know that people have jokes about the new shoe Big Baller Brand introduced for soon to be NBA draftee Lonzo Ball (The ZO2). Big Baller Brand is the line that Lavar Ball started and is trying to indoctrinate to the rest of the world as the next big thing. That all remains to be […]
PHILLY FANS
The NFL draft was held in Philadelphia and over 70,000 fans booed NFL Comissoner Roger Godell early loudly and often. This should hardly come as a surprise since Goddell is often booed in public, but Philly Fans have a special relationship with bad behavior. When it comes to who has the worst behaving fans in […]
HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING IS BACK
A great heavyweight championship boxing match took place this weekend, and most Americans, missed out on what could possibly be the sports re-awakening. Wladimir Klitschko dominated the heavyweight division, for nearly a decade. However, his historic run was more notable for how uninspiring it was until his loss in 2015 to the unlikely Tyson Fury. […]
BYE FELICIA
Any fan of the cult classic “Friday” remembers the dismissal of the pretty crackhead played by Angela Means. “Bye Felicia” became a tagline for dismissal and unfortunately the draft fortunes of her son Brad Kaaya have reverted to being worthy of the irony and cruelty that the Internet lends when such easy dots are connected […]
TOP 5 FINAL FOUR PLAYERS
I was asked to compile a Top 5 all time positional player list for the Final Four. The task was much more difficult than I could have imagined. While I am not a historian, I am well aware of the past contributions of the many greats that I never actually saw play (at least through […]
LAVAR BALL
He’s brash. He’s bold. He’s never at a loss for words. Hyperbole seems to be his best friend. He is one of the most polarizing figures in basketball, if not all of sports. He is Lavar Ball. All of those previous statements are subjective and up for debate. What is fact is that he […]
NUFF RESPECT DUE
I hate the New England Patriots. As a New Yorker I think that I am just naturally inclined to hate all Boston area sports teams. The Yankee-Red Sox, Knicks vs. Celtics, even Rangers vs Bruins. The football rivalry has not been much of a rivalry, with the Jets not posing much of a challenge to […]
