Random News/Ain’t it Thoughts about football.

It’s Friday but not Friday at Five o’clock. Yes, this is a problem but in my head I’m an amateur sniper so I can wait. Until then let’s talk about football.   I have some good news—there are 27 days … Continue reading →

    Soooo, I’m black to blogging for the day. (On some use it or lose it, sh*t.)[i] I’ve got some boo boo on my brain that I need to get out for the sake of my sanity and my … Continue reading →

Ain’t it News/Random Thoughts: Week of 4/19/2013

Man, this week has reeked of unawesomeness. We however are still here and we have to keep moving forward because that’s what we’re programmed to do. So in the words of newly inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Chuck D …Here comes the drums…

1. After the madness and destruction occurring in Boston, West, Texas, and the halls of the legislative branch of the United States Government America (Y’all failed the people again.) needs a long weekend. We need a long weekend with no bombs, explosions, or spineless, self-serving politicians so we all can just eat too much and chill with the folks.
2. Seriously, this week has been a bad Michael Bay movie Okay just a Michael Bay movie. (That “bad” in his work is inherent.)
3. Moneypenny and I caught “42” last weekend and I’ll describe it as is imperfect biopic. In case some of y’all haven’t seen it I’ll avoid and spoilers but just keep in mind the film only covers a few months out of an extraordinary life so please don’t expect the film to encapsulate every aspect of blackness. Chad Boseman (Jackie Robinson), Nicole Beharie (Rachel Robinson), and Harrison Ford (Branch Rickey) (Harrison Ford is f***ing 70!) all did great jobs in their roles. In all, the cheese factor was kept to a minimum which I can respect because biopics often come heavy with the cheese. I honestly want to discuss some scenes with y’all but again I don’t want to spoil anything. (Let me know in the comment section if it’s cool.)
4. Korea, specifically the North, actually existed before the crazy. (I’m a stan for history laden picture spreads and dogs.)

That’s all I have. Y’all have a good weekend.

Vaya con Dios!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots got together in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game. It was snowy night in Foxboro, Massachusetts which made for a really interesting football game in many, many ways. Continue reading →

Random and Dope Sports Happenings

The sporting world is a buzz right now. Various happenings in various sports have made things interesting for the first time since the NBA finals. [i] Sports in September and the first three days have excited me and helped me keep my head up while fighting through some things. So being the master of all things random, here are a few of the happenings in the world of sport that I think are dope. Continue reading →

America’s False Sports Narratives

This gallery contains 1 photos.

For the first time years I actively paid attention to the NBA’s playoffs. (Even if they took what seems like three months to end.) To me the NBA has been serving the public the same ham and cheese sandwich with a cup of grape drink for years and we’ve been devouring it with a smile. This year’s playoffs were just compelling to me so I kept track of what was what and who was who.

Sh*t Talkers — What Kind Are You?

This gallery contains 1 photos.

The other day on Twitter I had a conversation with Dr. Gemmie PhD about talking sh*t to folks about sports from a fan’s perspective. We tweeted about her premise, which was based on speaking feces because not only your squad totally destroyed theirs but because you dislike the utter essence of their team in every way possible. I’m not much of a verbal sh*t talker but I agreed with her about banging on teams that I flat-out just dislike and never pull for. (EVER!)

The Curious Case of The Forbes Most Disliked Athletes List

You know what are absolute bullsh*t? Opinion polls. Why? Well mostly because those that are doing the opining are full of said bullsh*t.[i] If you truly want to see the bull puckey ratched up a notch, ask someone about politics or sports.[ii]

Today, let’s talk about sports polls. More specifically the Forbes Magazine list of Most Disliked Athletes caught my attention. Some of the selections just seem dubious to me. Professional athletics is filled with unlikeable characters but some of the choices on the Forbes’ list are just head-scratchers.

Teams That I Would Never, Not For Nothing, Pull For

This gallery contains 2 photos.

Thanks to my sister, Dale I’m a pretty big sports fan. A bulk of my view about sports is based on what I learned from by watching her when I was a young warthog. For instance I am both an Oakland Raiders and UNC Tar Heel men’s basketball fan because that’s who she watched and pulled for. However, this little of post of mine isn’t about teams that I actually like. Continue reading →

Random News/Ain’t It Thoughts: Week of November 11th, 2011…

This gallery contains 1 photos.

I know this is the first Random Whatever/ Ain’t It Whatever in a while but I had some thoughts that I needed to get out of head. Herman Cain’s sausage, Rick Perry’s stupidity, and Joe Paterno dominated the news. The time change is again screwing with me and I’m just wringing my hands until it’s time to clock out tonight so I can enjoy some premium malt liquor and a fried double down. Continue reading →
