This is a tantalizing look at the employment struggle of black men, whether it be a law graduate or a head coach looking for work in the NFL. If potential racism, white favoritism and the acknowledgment of unfairness make you uncomfortable … just keep reading. A little discomfort never hurt anybody. Let’s...

There’s no way know for sure if Titus Young Sr. hit rock bottom within the past seven days or so, but he’s at least standing on the doorstep. In less than a week’s time, the former Boise State and Detroit Lions wideout was arrested for a DUI, released, arrested again for attempting...

When Andy Reid lost his job, it was clear things would be different for the Philadelphia Eagles. After 14 years of the same mind-boggling timeout decisions, change was afoot. At some point last season, amid the losing and joking, the die hard in me came to a conclusion. It was a final decision that...

Three years ago, when Kevin Garnett had finally matriculated from the outhouse in ‘Sota to the penthouse in Beantown, he was able to give a young LeBron James a lesson that would eventually (in my opinion) lead to a “Decision” of some sort. This is what KG had to say to young Bron...

Super Bowl XLVII gave me one of the most conflicted feelings, as a fan, that I can remember. There has never been a time when there was a game being played where there were so many players on both sides that I had no such admiration for. Whether it was Randy Moss and Frank Gore on one side or Ray-Ray,...

The 2001 college football season is a special one for both Ed Reed and Frank Gore for two reasons. For one, that season was the only season that the two players were teammates at the University of Miami. For two, it was the last time that Reed and Gore were able to proclaim themselves as champions....

I was driving into work when I heard what Randall Gene Moss, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, said on Tuesday: “Now that I’m older, I do think I’m the greatest receiver to ever do it,” Moss said at Super Bowl media day in New Orleans. “I don’t really live...

Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVII will crown a Harbaugh as a champion. While we’re not quite sure which of the two – Jim or John – will hoist the crown jewel of the gridiron, we can be sure of one thing: Monday morning, we’ll talk about it. The Super Bowl is akin to only the presidential...

I found out about the news late Wednesday evening, and when I read it the following statement ran across my brain. “Trade everybody to get him.” I then laughed at this for second, gathered my thoughts and re-evaluated the words that popped into my brain. During the re-evaluation period,...

Last season was hell for Philadelphia Eagles fans. The team started well, and then it was clear they were lousy. Andy Reid and all the feelings toward him became the topic of discussion. Week after week, the Reid questions continued. With each week, the product on the field became worse. There was nowhere...

There’s a sports bar that I frequent here in Oakland called The Grand Oaks. They serve some of the finest chicken wings I’ve ever come across in my entire life, and they’re only $7. Who’s going to pass up such a deal? Not me. Therefore, I was a paying customer at The Grand Oaks...

They say familiarity breeds contempt. After 14 years of mostly successful but ultimately Lombardi-less seasons, a vocal portion of Philadelphia fans came to feel contempt for the familiar fat man that roamed the sidelines for the Philadelphia Eagles. Truth of the matter is Andy Reid was the greatest...
