It’s that time of year again! The NBA is on its way back. While you video game heads got NBA 2K8 and NBA Live 2008 (though I don’t see why you’d want that game) getting hyped up for the upcoming season, I’ll let you know who got better over the offseason, who got worse, and what […]
Last week, we saw some big losers. The Mets were bumped from the play-offs on the last day of the baseball season, easily giving them one of the biggest collapses in sports history.

Images of strength have dominated Hip-Hop since its inception in the early 1970’s. MC’s often professed superiority over other MC’s with lyrical wizardry and dominance on the microphone.

More like the queens of Soul from days past than today’s more common Pop divas, Keyshia Cole can sing her ass off. While most of today’s female “R&B” artists sell themselves with elaborate acts and top-dollar production, she is one of the few newer artists who lets her voice be the star of the show. […]
First off, shout-outs to both New York teams for their big wins last week. I was impressed with how both teams dug deep and played the kind of football that they are capable of playing. Keep it up. To my fantasy football family, the bye weeks have started. Pay attention to your squad so […]

Usually I ignore Bill O’Reilly. The man has absolutely no integrity or shame; and, like Rush Limbaugh, makes his money by appealing to the worse elements of Human nature. But I had to take pause at his comments about dining at Sylvia’s with Al Sharpton recently when he said: “There wasn’t one person […]
Every good player needs a dope nickname. Therefore, Washington Wizard’s guard Gilbert Arenas is set with his Agent Zero moniker. His exploits on the b-ball court wreaked havoc on NBA defenses enough to earn him All-NBA Second Team honors for the ‘06/07 season and off the court his charity (he donates money for every point […]
