The NBA Playoffs are in full effect and there are a  number of intriguing series to talk about. Fans have been allowed back at the arenas but is that a good thing? 4 different examples in one week of fans over stepping their boundaries by disrespecting the players. Also the ongoing back and forth between Kwame Brown and Stephen A. Smith

In a verbal ass whooping that was 20 years in the making former #1 pick in the NBA Draft Kwame Brown has been dispensing copious amounts to ether to the sports media that disrespected him. Stephen A. Smith, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes, and even Charlamagne tha God, among others all have been exposed by Kwame Brown this week. Correctly calling out black men in the media who disrespect other black...

Tim Tebow is back in the NFL after a 9 year hiatus. Not only is he back, but he's playing an entirely different position. Is he back in the NFL due to his merit, or because his former college coach is looking out for him? 

Once the sport of kings and legendary fighters giving fans compelling fights boxing has now been relegated to a carnival side show with pseudo celebrities making a mockery of the sport. Floyd Mayweather has agreed to a phony exhibition fight vs professional clout chaser Logan Paul in Miami next month. If boxing isn't dead, its hooked up to a ventilator. 

Now that the NFL Draft is over its time to discuss the picks. The correct choice was made with the third pick in drafting Trey Lance. Now the conversation becomes whether or not he should start day one? The needs of the interior line were addressed as well as adding depth to the secondary. However the team neglecting to pick a WR is puzzling to me. 

Christmas in April otherwise known as the NFL Draft kicked off today and what a first round it was! QBs went 1-2-3 in the draft. My beloved San Francisco 49ers selected the QB of the future in Trey Lance. 3 WRs taken in the first round. An unexpected trade between division rivals in Dallas and Philadelphia. A confusing pick by the Las Vegas Raiders and Aaron Rodgers is pissed off in Green Bay.&nbs...

Hip Hop lost a true pillar of the culture today. DMX was a force of nature that changed the landscape of hip hop music in the late 90s. His grit, authenticity, intensity, and emotional sincerity was unmatched before, and certainly after. I try as best I can to pay homage to one of the greatest of all time and a true master of his craft. RIP DMX

Amazon warehouses are the epicenter of inhumane treatment and disgusting working conditions. Attempts to unionize have been met with much resistance and propagandist tactics from Jeff Bezos and his minions. Workers at the "fulfillment centers" are subject to degradation with regularity. Urinating in water bottles and defecating into bags doesn't reflect a positive work environment.

Last Friday the San Francisco 49ers made an uncharacteristic power move! Dealing 2 first round picks and a compensatory 3rd to move up to the 3rd pick presumably for a QB sent shockwaves throughout the NFL landscape. With Zach Wilson likely off the board, Mac Jones is now the likely choice to be the next face of the franchise. 

The NFL offseason is hotter than a spoon in a trap house! Players on the move, new faces in new places, and Bill Belicheck desperate to prove he was the driving force behind New Englands 20 year reign of terror. Deshaun Watson is now facing sexual assualt allegations from 22 different women. Is there a conflict of interest with the attorney representing these women also being next door neighbors t...

The sensitivity level in America is at an all time high! Outrage over fictional cartoon characters and childrens books is the hot topic of conversation right now. Cancel culture is defined as a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or political circles. I personally define it as super woke people with too much time on their hands. 

Joe Bidens disastrous 1st month on the job has been filled with lies, corruption ,and false promises. Par for the course for the party that alleges to be for the people, but sadly is not.

The NFL offseason is more intriguing than other sports regular seasons. In particular the unprecedented amount of movement at the most important position in sports. Big name QBs are on the move and the league is better for it.

A suffocating defense and the steady play of the greatest QB of all time were enough for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to emerge victorious in Super Bowl 55. The Kansas City Chiefs high powered offense only registered 9 points thanks to Todd Bowles defense. The GOAT further solidifies his legacy and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Happy Super Bowl everyone! My favorite holiday is once again upon us and this years matchup shouldn't disappoint. Are we witnessing the changing of the guard between Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes? Can Andy Reid join other legendary coaches in winning multiple Super Bowls or does Bruce Arians win his first? All of those questions plus keys to the game and players to watch in my Super Bowl predictio...

Eric Bienemy deserves to be a head coach in the NFL and its ridiculous that he hasnt been hired yet. The NFL can sing " Lift Every Voice" before games but cant lift every coach to coach the games. 

Super Bowl 55 is set! The GOAT Tom Brady adds to his legacy with his 10th Super Bowl appearance1 Tampa becomes the 1st team to play a home game in the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers once again comes up small in the NFC Title game as the Packers squander opportunities amid poor decisions, bad clock management, and idiotic playcalling. Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill destroy the Buffalo Bills...

Inauguration Day 2021 we saw the glorification of war criminals and a celebration of the neoliberal oligarchy. Joe Biden is President, and nothing will fundamentally change.

So I went 1-3 last week lol. Despite that I thoroughly enjoyed all 4 divisional playoff games. Packers decimated the Rams to move on to their 9th NFC title game amid the strong play of presumptive MVP Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson commits a critical error at an inopportune time to ensure a Buffalo victory. No Mahomes, no problem. KC holds on to beat Cleveland even without their star QB. And Tampa f...

Who advances to Championship Sunday? We will all find out by the end of Sunday but in the meantime I have my predictions, analysis ,and thoughts on the situation. Went 4-2 in the wild card with my predictions, lets see what happens in the divisional. Am I a football genius? Or am I a fucking idiot who shouldn't be allowed to discuss football in public? 

Baltimore punches Tennessee in the mouth as Lamar Jackson wins his 1st playoff game. Saints take care of Chicago in predictable fashion as their defense suffocates Trubisky and the Bears anemic offense. Cleveland Browns finally stand up to their bully in Pittsburgh. Steelers implode in spectacular fashion amid 4 turnovers from Ben Roethlisberger.

Rejoice in the gift of playoff football! NFL Super Wild Card playoff weekend gives us the gift of 6 wild card playoff games this weekend! Day 1 is in the books, Buffalo moves on past Indianapolis amid the genius play of Josh Allen and questionable decision making of Frank Reich, Rams suffocate the Seahawks to advance in the NFC playoffs. The GOAT Tom Brady turns in another brilliant playoff perfor...

White people lose their minds and storm the US Capitol over election results! I examine the hypocrisy and double standard on how it was handled with historical perspective. As well as an appreciation of the comedy exploits of Ashli Babbitt and the guy who tased himself in the balls causing a fatal heart attack. I thought we all agreed to leave the fuckery in 2020?

With nothing to play for the San Francisco 49ers won a football game today. Short term that's great, but in the long term you hope this doesn't impact draft positioning. 

There's nothing wrong with going to the strip club. The problem for James Harden and Dwayne Haskins is that they're high profile athletes going to the strip club during a pandemic without wearing a mask. We have to be smarter than this.
