Feburary is Black History Month!

Little Known Black History Fact: Charlie Sifford

Sifford, the first Black golfer to play on the once all-white PGA Tour, died this past Tuesday. He was 92. Sifford was born June 2, 1922 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Sifford worked as a golf caddy as a teen before picking up the sport. Because the PGA Of America remained a whites-only organization, Black golfers organized their own tournaments in the ’30’s and ’40’s.

Black golfers such as Pete Brown, Lee Elder, Ann Gregory, Althea Gibson and Tiger Woods all owe their careers to golf pioneer Charlie Sifford.

Warren Sapp...Is A...Stupid..."Sap"

When you are as big...and black...as Warren Sapp?   Your best bet is to keep a low profile.

Obvious...this loud talking...braggadocios...Negro...is just plain stupid.  At the Super Bowl no less.

It appears our Mr. Sapp had to get his "groove" on (at 7am) we might add.   And...he was hassling the alleged "call girls" over the price!  And...allegedly...got physical.

Too stupid...Warren.   You are not some Joe Smoe.  You're on the flagship NFL Network!  You are at the Super Bowl!

You think TMZ....is not in town?

Never been a Sapp fan.   Too loud...too bullying...But I did think he had better sense!

From The Young, Black &  Fabulous (YBF):

BUSTED: NFL Analyst Warren Sapp ARRESTED For Allegedly Soliciting A Prostitute & Assault Allegations + NFL Network Reportedly FIRES Him!

5 Super Thoughts...on a Super Game

NFL Super Bowl XLIX

Final - Sunday, February 1, 6:30 PM

University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona

New England Patriots (15-4) 28 Seattle Seahawks (14-5) 24 Recap

4:39

Well...well...well.  A super game for a SuperBowl! Here is 5 of our thoughts: #1.   Love them or hate them...The Patriots of New England...are the best team these eyes have seen in our life time. #2.  The singing of the National Anthem and the "fly-by" ....was simply...awesome! #3.  Let's get the Grambling State Marching Band ...back for the half-time entertainment.  Enough already of these MTV-Techno concerts.     #4.  The only commercial that moved me?   The Brady Bunch...Snickers...with that Mexican Actor.   #5.  A game of inches....Tell me...truthfully....When Seattle completed that miraculous pass in the final minute....You and all watching....just knew the Sea Hawks were going to win!   They did not!  Inches short....then...THE...interception!

The Atlanta Hawks have 17 Straight Wins!

Millsap's 28 points lead Hawks past Nets for 17th straight victory 

 

"A Few Good Men" NFL/SNL ...Style

Okay...Let us put an end to..."Deflate-gate"....in style.  Nobody does it better than our friends at Saturday Night Live.

In case you missed it?

Enjoy this:

"Deflate-Gate"...Please Go Away!

Enough already!

It is an oblong object made of pigskin...no less.  So the New England Patriots use footballs that were under inflated during their dominance of the Indianapolis Colts last week.

Funny thing...When made aware of the deflated balls...the refs made the Patriots play the 2nd half with the "right" balls.   And New England put up even more points than they did in  the first half.

The NFL is reportedly still investigating.  They have interviewed 40 + .

Why?  The QB...Tom Brady...and the coach....have already said they knew nothing.   Did nothing wrong.

Too many hours....to much attention...has been given to....a ball & it's PSI.

Can we get back to talking about...dare I say?

The Super Bowl?

The Atlanta Hawks win Number 14 in a Row!

The Hawks have won 14 straight games, taken a double-digit lead in every one of them and registered at least 30 assists in five straight contests.    

I'm so proud of my Hawks!

Beyond...Extravagant!

Extravagant ....to the nth degree!

Arthur Blank must have one hell of an ego.  This new Atlanta Falcon stadium will have everything ...and then some.

1.2 Billion dollars?  A retractable roof?  A gigantic side window with the Atlanta skyline in full view?

Simply amazing!

Take a look:

 

Another City...Another Win

Last night it was Philadelphia's turn to witness the greatest show on the hardwoods.

Even sitting 3 starters...for rest...we suspect...the Atlanta Hawks again rolled.

A "Buck-eye"..."Black-eye"

It was all that is was built up to be:

Finesse vs. Brute strength

Speed vs. Power

Blitzkrieg vs. Methodical

Old School vs. New School

Traditional vs. New Age

What a game this was.  What a win for Ohio State.   They came...they saw...they dominated.

Here's the Headlines today from Ohio:

Things We Learned...From the Week-end

In this small southern college town...it is a gray January day.  Kind of dreary looking outside.

How 'bout Them ...Cowboys?

How 'bout them Cowboys...How 'bout them ...refs?

Can you say...conspiracy?

I did not see the game live...but....

I hear the refs called a foul.

The refs announced the foul.

The flag was then picked up.

No yards were paced forward.

No explanation from said refs.

Instead of ...a first down...now fourth down.

ESPN's Stuart Scott dies after lengthy battle with cancer

49 years well lived years!

"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer," Scott told the audience. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."

"Yes.... We Can"!!!

For almost five weeks...the football players on the Ohio State Buckeye team heard the constant rants and commentary about how the Alabama Crimson Tide...would wipe the field with them as their own personal cleaning rags.

ESPN...the World Wide Leader...and their mass of "TalkingHeads"...gave the Buckeyes little chance of winning.

The big bad SEC....Number 1 ranked Alabama!

Even the boys in Vegas had Ohio State 7 point under-dogs.

Well someone forgot to tell coach Urban Meyer.

He used all that negative press...to pump his team.  He prepared them.  And he got this:
