Former NBA Players & TNT Analysts Speak On The Lockout (Video)
November 14, 2011
I have to agree with Shaq’s assessment of the situation although what he said was rather brief. The entire structure is flawed & that’s the issue that really needs to be addressed to protect the owners from themselves & to have more parity throughout the league so the small market teams have a better chance to compete. They probably need to get these fundamental structural issues addressed to truly move forward.

Buffalo Bills WR David Nelson Scores Touchdown Then Runs The Entire Length of the Field to Kiss & Hug His Girlfriend Who Is A Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (Video)
November 14, 2011
This is what I call “doing waaaay too much”. I can see if Buffalo Bills Wide Receiver David Nelson’s girl Kelsi Reich was suffering from cancer or something but running the whole length of the field just to give your girlfriend a football while your team is getting CRUSHED by the Dallas Cowboys is too over the top in my opinion. She’s probably kickin’ it with a Dallas Cowboys player while he’s out in Buffalo anyway. (Simpin’ ain’t easy…Simpin’ ain’t eaaaaaaaassyyyyyyyyy). If I was the Bills head coach I’d pull him to the side & remind him that while his girl is in that Cowboys cheerleader uniform that she is the enemy. Plus his team got their ass kicked by the Dallas Cowboys 44-7.

Fat Joe Speaks On Mister Cee & Homosexuality In Hip Hop (Video)
November 9, 2011
In a recent interview Fat Joe spoke on his belief that the entertainment industry is run by a gay mafia. (Can’t say I don’t disagree with him either). The “Don Cartegena” also spoke briefly on the Mister Cee situation, says he believes he has worked with closeted gay rappers before & spoke on his beliefs on homosexuality in the entertainment industry from pro sports to music & film. I agree with Fat Joe’s comments about the entertainment industry & about these guys hiding who they are to the public. Peep the interview…No homo.

Legendary Rap Artist & Actor “Heavy D” Dies At The Age Of 44
November 8, 2011
The news of Heavy D’s passing spread like wildfire through the internet & the media when TMZ first broke the story…
TMZ:
Rap legend Heavy D — one of the most influential rappers of the ’90s — died earlier today … TMZ has learned.
Heavy D — real name Dwight Arrington Myers — was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today … and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.
We’ve learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy’s Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .
When help arrived, we’re told Heavy D was conscious and speaking — and was transported to a nearby hospital.
He died a short time later.
Cops are investigating the death — and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play.
Heavy D had several massive hits — including “Now That We Found Love.” He also wrote and performed the theme song for “In Living Color” … and appeared as an actor in the movie “Life.”

Legendary Boxing Champion Joe Frazier Dies Of Liver Cancer In Philadelphia
November 8, 2011
As a North Philly native I can tell you that there was no way anyone wouldn’t be proud of the accomplishments & community service that Smokin Joe Frazier had done over the years. I remember visiting his gym a few times as a kid on North Broad street which was several blocks from my grandmothers home. Because of Joe Frazier’s success & visibility in the community he inspired generations of brothers from Philly beyond boxing. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met Joe Frazier several times over the years & unlike most celebrities like him, Joe was actively involved in community & was very visible from what I remember when I still lived in Philly. While the Philadelphia Eagles were closing out their Monday Night Football game with a loss to Chicago, sports fans in Philadelphia & the world were just getting word that one of the greatest boxers in history had died of liver cancer. It goes without saying that it was truly a sad evening in Philadelphia last night…. Rest in Peace Smokin’ Joe Frazier.

Floyd Mayweather Argues with Sirius XM radio host Rude Jude (Audio)
November 4, 2011
This is straight hilarious!!! Personally I don’t believe Floyd Mayweather is afraid of anyone, but you do have to be smart when fighting a potential opponent who is alleged to be using performance enhancing drugs. If I was Floyd Mayweather I’d make every fighter I was poised to compete against take a drug test like I’ve always done. Why should Manny Pacquiao be any different? It’s called doing your due dilligence & this is more about business than it is about Floyd Mayweather being afraid of fighting anyone. The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao debates are constantly being argued in the barbershops, in the gyms, at the office watercooler, & even on sports & hip hop radio shows. Floyd Mayweather called in to Sirius XM’s Shade 45 channel to speak with Rude Jude about his disparaging comments about him. This heated exchange on the radio between Floyd Mayweather & Rude Jude is hilarious though….

Future Says Drake’s Absence In “Tony Montana” Video Is A “Slap In The Face”
November 4, 2011

Lots of different people have chimed in on this topic in the last few days.
