Storied Disappointment

Every year I get the hopes up that everything is going to fall into place and I can write this story.
But one of the features is a problem. Because I must rely on programmers, developers and hard work from all across the world.
So far it hasn’t worked out yet. Every year something just a little [...]

Taboo

Well I got a book I have been waiting to read for years. Taboo : Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We’re Afraid to Talk About It by John Entiene.
The book is not really all that exciting, much of the information is stuff that I have already read. But I am only 1/3rd [...]

The Black Super Bowl

NBA All-Star weekend.

Love the NBA weekend. Celebration of the game. Loved TNT’s coverage.
Slam dunk contest wasn’t so good. But the rookie/sophomore game was beyond great. Leagues got a lot of young talent coming into the fold. A lot of different style 0f games too. The powerful athleticism of Russell Westbrook. The feisty play of Omri [...]

NBA League Pass

I love the new additions to League Pass this year. Now they replay games over and over. So I don’t really miss any games. This is a really amazing thing for me. Now if I know a game was close I rewatch the 4th quarter or if a blowout see how it happened.
The downside is [...]

The Issue of Sports.

I got this email back from one of the apartments I was trying to find off of craigslist.
I have a few questions…..
do you smoke cigarettes?
do you smoke weed?
do you have any pets?
do you have any kids?
are you confident that you could shell out $400 for rent and bills every month?
do you have you’re own stuff…phone, [...]

Technology – is here

So here is proof that I got it to work. Now I just need to get an HDTV with a tuner. Oh how time and money never seem to line up properly.

Basketball Shoes

Well I finally decided on basketball shoes. I tried on a bunch of pairs at the Mall the other day. Couldn’t find any I particularly liked so I went with the old standard. Except this time I bought lows. I have never worn low basketball shoes in my life so we will see how they [...]

Paul Hewitt Ga Tech Coach

A Conversation with Paul Hewitt.
TH: Do you enjoy watching the pro game?
Hewitt: I’ve always enjoyed watching it.  Right now it’s tough because my Knicks are struggling.  But I’m still a fan of the NBA game.  I think they’re the best players in the world.  I like players that really appreciate being in the league. [...]

NBA Season Upon Us

Oh how happy I am! The NBA season started with the Cavs getting beat in Boston. Paul Pierce crying at the ring ceremony, how touching.
Bucks looked terrible and my man Luke Ridnour turned the ball over way too much. I thought Milwaukee might be a surprise team this year but they are so soft up [...]

Starting From Scratch

It always seems that right when I am just about to get in decent physical shape something goes inexplicably wrong.
Back in Feburary I was playing a lot of basketball and just when I started to get the feel of the court back I broke my ribs.
Then after being lazy all summer I finally started to [...]
