I knew a man who was a classic gentleman. The kind of man that would tip his hat to a lady and then follow with an old school gesture of opening the door as she made her entrance.I knew a man who followed his beloved St. Louis Cardinals; for decades he had seen the best. He could name his favorite nine from the old Sportsman Park to the old Busch Stadium. He marveled over Gibson and McCarver and

I recently asked filmmaker Spike Lee when he was going to make a biopic about the three women who played in The Negro Leagues, "not before Jackie and Joe Louis" he quipped. I feel you on that Spike, I see you're busy so maybe I can ask Oprah. It's a story that needs to be told and I hope the perseverance and grit of Mamie Johnson, Connie Morgan and Toni Stone will someday grace the screen.As the

It is inevitable, it will happen and you may not like it. However, when Barry Bonds ties and subsequently breaks one of the most prestigious records in baseball, Henry Aaron will not be in attendance and that's fine with me.Some sports columnists, radio talk hosts and Bobby Bonds Jr. , Barry's little brother, seem to take issue with Aaron's decision not to be present when the "great feat" or "

The bravado of NBA referee Joey Crawford fails in comparison to the respect he has justly earned over his thirty one years of NBA experience. Or perhaps his ego does indeed exceed his popularity and impeccable judgement as an official. So, why in the word did he metaphoris into Travis Bickle and challenge the league's gentle giant, Tim Duncan to a dual. My goodness, I was waiting for the ever

I love it! Who will your favorite team draft? Are there trade deals in the works? Come on Commissioner read faster. I tell ya, I love it. If I could just find my old Roy Green Cardinals jersey then, sit in front of the tube for hours upon hours of analysis. Some of the experts are credible and have insight into the needs of a team. On the other spike, some of these guys are useless windbags of

Excuses didn't work for the Beaver and Ward wasn't buying it anyway. "Gee Dad, all the other kids call black women nappy headed hos." " I understand that son but, you have a mind of your own; and I expect from now on you'll use it." " I guess you're right Dad, I'm gonna go and apologize to all the black women in town--but don't worry I'll still make it home in time for supper. " That a boy,

I'll stand by my previous post offering that Don Imus like so many others find the use of derogatory terms and references when speaking of black women as acceptable because the "brothas" do it in rap.Let me be clear on this, black women don't like it when the brothers say it either. Last night as I watched the ongoing coverage from CNN to Fox News, it was disturbing to find many attempting to

Don Imus says he's sorry. He also stated " I can't win with you people"!The thirty year shock jock of the radio airwaves says he's embarrassed and couldn't possibly suffer anymore than the continuing outrage and backlash of criticism regarding his comments last week about the Rutgers women's basketball team. "Them some nappy headed hos", is the main remark that has everyone in an uproar. Civil

NFL league MVP, LaDainian Tomlinson was upset over the Pats post-game celebration that involved mimicking Shawne Merriman's ode to Tony Manero of Saturday Night Fever. Now, say what you will regarding the unflattering depiction; and it was unsportsman like; however, there's only way to prevent such demonstrative frolicking-WIN THE GAME!Winning solves everything, it always has; it always will!

I'm no Letterman but here goes:10. Life time supply to Uncle Pookies' Bag and Feed! 9. We got 12 National Championships, one for each Bama graduate! 8. Two a days refer to weekly class attendance! 7. All you can eat at Bubba's House of Pork! 6. We can beat Auburn...ok that's a lie! 5. Free direct deposit with illegal student athlete payments! 4. I can coach, just like my daddy--

It was tough! Watch Vh1 and the season premiere of "I Love New York" or watch Flordia and Ohio State in the National Championship Game.Kudos to VH1, they offered something brand spanking new for the "other demographic" that don't quite understand why it takes 11 men to stop one guy with the football. Clearly, the Ohio State Buckeyes didn't figure it out either.Yet, there was one glaring

A-Rod can rest easy! No longer is the Yankee third baseman, the punchline for jokes involving 250 million dollars. Wow, I didn't know Major League Soccer had 250 million! Who knew!David Beckham is the classic world sports star; the looks, the babe, the "extra babes" and oh yeah he's not a bad soccer player. But, he's the not best either. Once again MLS wants to force Americans to watch soccer in
