Leave Henry Aaron Alone!

It's time to stop asking Henry Aaron questions about Barry Bonds. It's obviuos the man thinks(or knows) that Barry used steroids and is not crazy about Bonds breaking his home run record. Let's leave it at that. The only thing that Bonds and Aaron have in common is that they were great ballplayers... Sign in to see full entry.

Reggie, Catfish, Vida and Blue Moon

I like baseball. I really do. But the game has become stagnant. Roger Clemens comeback is old news, it's been done before. Barry Bonds hits home runs whenever he's in San Fran. You've seen one, you've seen them all. The Yankees are losing. So what? Just because you wear pinstripes doesn't mean... Sign in to see full entry.

Boxing Is Dead

I didn't bother watching the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather fight. It's not that I wasn't interested it just wasn't worth the money or driving to a friends house to watch. I'm a boxing fan, but I believe it's a dead sport. There are too many champions and not enough glamour in the heavyweight... Sign in to see full entry.

This weekend major league baseball is celebrating the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947. Any player who wants to wear the number 42, which has been retired by MLB, can do so and all of the Dodgers and Padres will on Sunday night. I guess MLB can do something...

First Don Imus: Yes, he should have been suspended. Yes, he should have to apologize to the Rutgers womens basketball team and their coach, Vivian Stringer, face to face. No, he should not be fired.

Grambling's Greatest Tiger

Former Grambling State College football coach Eddie Robinson died this morning at the age of 88. This is a great loss to college football and the black community. When Robinson retired, he was the all-time winningest coach in college football history. And don't think because the Tigers were never a... Sign in to see full entry.

My Dream Baseball Scenario

Well, the Major League baseball season officially begins on April Fools Day which is this Sunday. As for me, I'm not really looking forward to it. The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles are probably going to lose a lot of games so there's no playoffs in the future along the B/W Parkway. But... Sign in to see full entry.

John Amaechi, Tim Hardaway and the Media

Last week, former NBA basketballer John Amaechi went public with the fact that he is a homosexual. To which I say, "to each his own." Yesterday former NBA baller, Tim Hardway said on radio that he hated gay people. Didn't like being around them. That there was no place in America for them and that... Sign in to see full entry.
