Wait Wait Wait…. WTF did Mike Greenberg Say?!

The one morning I missed this fool he says this?! Believe me, there’s more to come…. …the “more to come…. Robert Littal of Black Sports Online is willing to give Mike Greenberg the benefit of the doubt? Littal writes: Mike Greenberg needs to address this immediately and not just with an apology, but an explanation of how it happened. Words like “Coon” are not [read more...]

Updated: Arenas Suspends Arenas, But New Crittenton Story Changes Incident Dynamic… Is This the End for David Stern?

Gilbert Arenas before a game with the Detroit Pistons. Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Gilbert Arena sealed his near future NBA fate. Just after the pregame introductions Arenas gave a double-gun salute of sorts to his teammates in front of the crowd and the televised viewing audience. According to Arenas, the act was a take off on a touchdown celebration scene from [read more...]

Guns, Race, and Guns: Gilbert, Volunteers, and the Cost of Life in America

A Philadelphia fan holds up a sign for Gilbert Arenas. People in the United States – at least the U.S. – do not want to hear this. White people, Black people, people. But especially White and Black people. Black and White people. Even the juxtaposition – Black-White – is a contrivance, a sick trick of the mind. Racism exists today at its vile [read more...]

Whitlock’s Apology; Football Motivation, 21st Century-Style; Paying for Content Is Here

And so Jason Whitlock caved. Though he’ll never admit it – he certainly attempted to put on a brave face in his latest Fox Sports offering – he folded like pretty Christmas wrapping paper around a gift. The only problem is, he packaged himself: Let me first apologize to Rush Limbaugh. Last week in explaining why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to put [read more...]

The Danger of Rush Limbaugh, Silence, and Understatement

Now that it’s safe for ESPN to discuss Rush Limbaugh at length, we know Dave Checketts has dropped Limbaugh from his investment group seeking to purchase the St. Louis Rams. The fear here is that the players who spoke out against Limbaugh and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith will cease being vigilant in ensuring that people who would be detrimental to the [read more...]

Stephen A. Smith, Mike Greenberg, and the Daily Skip Bayless (they all fit together)

An appearance on MSNBC’s The ED Show, a commentary on CNN.com ———- and now an appearance alongside Michael Meyers, a long-marginalized and forgotten, dusty, shaggy-ass lawn jockey, and founder of the New York Civil Rights Coalition (an oxymoron if there ever was one) on Fox News with Sean Hannity. While Meyers sprayed into the air right-wing odes to idiocy – “da libero [read more...]

On Rush Limbaugh, Stephen A. Smith and Scoop Jackson: There’s a Very Thin Line Between Being Respected and Being Blacklisted

A few days ago I wrote critically about a conversation between Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic on their radio-television simulcast, the Mike and Mike in the Morning show. The conversation dealt with NFL players who spoke out about the potential of Rush Limbaugh’s inclusion in a group of investors led by Dave Checketts who have the collective goal to purchase [read more...]

NFL Notes: DeMaurice Smith Takes the Principled Stand on Rush Limbaugh

In conversations with some mainstream journalists the consensus was that NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith would say nothing about the announcement that Rush Limbaugh is part of a group of investors led by St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts who wish to purchase the St. Louis Rams. As I expressed my hope that Smith would speak out, it was said that Smith [read more...]

More Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh

The importance of putting pressure on the 31 owners and commissioner to ensure that these two in no way come near the National Football League cannot be overstated. I talked with a Black journalist today. He and I agree on the issue of  Black sports columnists making a real stand rather than writing something that allows for a debate which will [read more...]

Who the —- Is Trying to Buy the St. Louis Rams?!

Dave Checketts (above) hopes to pair with virulent racist Rush Limbaugh to purchase the St. Louis Rams. If the adage, you are who you your friends and associates are, we now have a deep peek into St. Louis Blues owner, Dave Checketts’, political leanings. And Dave Checketts, like his much more infamous business partner, is a far right-wing racist. To call Rush Limbaugh [read more...]
