    The old timers used to say that legends are solidified in the championship rounds. In those days fighters could use rounds 10-15 to score a come from behind knockout (ie Marciano-Walcott I), or steal a close decision (ie Ali-Norton III).   Last  Saturday, Israel Vazquez (43-4, 31 KOs) didn’t have the luxury of […]

The other day, I was talking to a colleague of mine about the “M” word; yes, marriage. She opened up to me on her feelings about it and how she had it all planned out from when she’d like for it to happen, where it will happen, and how many people will attend.   The […]

  A good friend of mine from college used to amuse himself, and other males no doubt, by occasionally referring to women as “bald cats.”   His interpretation: unique and ornery little creatures with nasty dispositions, that like neither themselves or each other. As we sit in the midst of Women’s History Month, I’d like […]

It’s been a big week for the Celtics. They’re saying that the Sam Cassell deal could go down Monday night, which means he could be playing on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons – a game which I’ll be at myself.   It’s definitely exciting.

Bun B on the election in January 2008: “I’m still waiting to see [who I support]. I think its still a little early. I’m really, really leaning that way [towards Obama]. I’m sitting back and seeing who’s going to do what. I don’t know enough about Barack and it would be ignorant of me to […]

When Yao Ming went down last week with a season-ending stress fracture in his left foot, it was looking like the Houston Rockets’ playoff hopes were shattered. The injury was a tough break for the Rockets, who were playing their best basketball of the season and had won 13 straight games before Yao went down. […]

Damn. Andre “3000” Benjamin, one half of the musical phenomenon OutKast – the man justly dubbed “World’s Best Dressed Man” by Esquire magazine – is dressed like a flaming seahorse!   In the comedy Semi-Pro starring Will Ferrell (Jackie Moon) and co-starring Woody Harrelson (Monix), Benjamin plays basketball star Clarence “Coffee Black” Withers for the […]

There are a lot of musical treasures across the Atlantic that we have yet to hear, and after the success of musical sensation Amy Winehouse (despite her shortcomings) one must ask, “What else do the British have to offer?” Well I’ve got the answer, and his name is Taio Cruz. His new single “She’s Like […]

  Every time I see a successful business person get interviewed, at some point, they drop this line in: “I work hard, and play hard.” Keeping that in mind, I found a couple things that let you do both.   If you’re a busy exec, or if you’ve got your grind on and you’re on […]

  What’s goin’ on everybody? This is your boy Cipha Sounds. As you know, with the help of Dr. Ian K. Smith from Celebrity Fit Club (sidebar: I guess I’m not a big enough celebrity to actually be on the show… I gotta work on that) I’ve decided to live a healthier lifestyle.    The […]
