Osi thanks for stepping up and taking time out to give back

On Thursday May 15, 2008 I attended the first of four events to kick off Osi Umenyiora’s Strike 4 A Cure Celebrity Charity Bowling Weekend 2008. The Senior Stop event took place at Carver High School and Osi in conjunction with Nike was on site to speak with the kids about hard work and AIDS awareness.

Code words are for the rich snitches bitch who went out and switched…’cause damn right that’s what he gets…

When you have White folk referencing 400 years ago then you know you’re foul.

Chris Mathews tried to hold it down but couldn’t call Pat out for what he is because he saw his Pop…eh…or maybe his crazy uncle?

Pat, No Brothas Allowed?

Why is this man still on TV?

Who does he represent?

Do our kids really need to know who this cat is?

Is this a case of racist old assness?

Pat..You betta listen to ya corner and Watch for the Hook.

Wow, just wow.

Thanks Miranda!

Calgary Flames superstar right winger Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla is the shining light in a sport that has literally known no Darkness. To many Blacks in the United States the sport of hockey falls in the same category as NASCAR or any sport that we have yet to dominate. Iginla is hockey’s first true dominant Black player since Edmonton Oilers goalie Grant Fuhr.

And at his current pace he isn’t done spreading his story or dominance throughout the NHL.

This is for you Michelle!

Are you serious? But I thought we’ve come so far?

Sent this from Miranda who is just as disgusted as I am. I couldn’t imagine living in the area where these shirts are sold outside of a bar. People listen, there some things that change but a lot is going to stay the same. We can only hope that the good people out there of all races understand what’s at stake in November.

How in the hell can they want George Bush 3?!? Remember 4 dollars for gas is not far from 10. Don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility.

Christian Boone of the AJC wrote a piece on this in today’s edition.

Paul Pierce was not getting into that pic

Magic Johnson on the Boston Celtics: “I think Atlanta exposed (the Celtics) that they don’t have great athletes, number one. Number two, where is their leadership? One of those guys has to step forward and say, ‘We’re not playing well and here’s why we’re not playing well and let’s correct it.’ Whatever it is, one of The Big Three has to step forward and get on the other guys and make them say, ‘we’ve got to come with a better effort and be ready for games.’”

Hat tip: Ryne from Odenized

When I initially saw this as it happened, I thought it was just some irate Cleveland lady fan reppin’ her squad. When they played it back, I almost fell on the floor because that lady was in fact Bron Bron’s Mom Gloria.

Real rap?

She looked like she wanted to crack one of those C’s as it was going down. Straight classic.

Dig the KG get off my baby…I’m sick of ya’ll trying to hurt my baby forearm. You gotta hand it to KG, he’s so respectful.

Well later on…Happy belated Mother’s Day!

Damn LeBron…it’s like that? Too bad he didn’t get Pierce huh?

Now you have to win the series and one more so your true legacy will begin.

Hmmm could it be Kobe vs. LeBron?

How many home runs would Barry Bonds hit if there weren’t so much of these?

DZ stops by TSF yet again to drop some real rap on Bonds being grounded

The Commissar Vanishes is a coffee table book for only the dourest of coffee tables. The hard-covered volume is a photographic compilation of the way that Josef Stalin systematically erased his chief political opponents, Leon Trotsky and his followers, from the history of the Russian Revolution.

For the first time in the playoffs, Chris Paul was outplayed by a quicker Tony Parker

Congratulations to Robert Horry for tying Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s NBA playoff games record of 237.

Is he a Hall of Fame Player? Why or why not?

While many are still trying to digest the fact that Kobe Bryant is the 2007-08 NBA MVP despite MVP-worthy seasons from New Orleans’ Chris Paul and Cleveland’s LeBron James. I’ve come up with a question.

Who was the best player in any sport or season (other than this season) not to win his/her respective league’s MVP Award.

In doing so lets steer from the Bryant, Paul or James debate. Feel free to utilize the other threads on the site for that discussion.

One of the most compelling athletes of all time

I wanted to start a discussion on the best player in the game. Why does he catch so much wreck? Is it all about Colorado? Shaq? Phil? Is the criticism warranted?
