The Brain Leak
(Week of 6/9/08 - 6/15/08) As summer switches into high gear and temperatures across the country begin to rise, The Leak is creating new and innovative ways to keep you indoors and save you from those nasty CO2 emissions, twilight dinners with the in-laws and the neighborhood Cougar who simply should not be wearing that skimpy of a bathing suit. Finally, ...
Mauricia Grant and the Disdainful Sound of One Hand Clapping
Mauricia Grant. I'll type her name again so you remember it. Mauricia Grant. She is why race and sports and racism in sports are the hot-button topics that almost always get pushed to the fore by white-owned mainstream media and its white-owned sports blogosphere mirror image. The operative word here is ------- almost. Because of its Internet "reach" when it comes to any "important" sports ...
Why Trevor Graham Now?
Like steroid distributor Angel Heredia, Justin Gatlin, according to Jeff Novitzky, worked undercover for the government in 2000 and recorded phone calls with Trevor Graham. The testimonies of Heredia and Gatlin are particularly damning to Graham's claims of altruism in conjunction with anonymously sending a syringe full of a designer performance-enhancing (PED) growth hormone drug, THG, to the ...
Barry Bonds’ “New” Indictment: Same As the Old Indictment
Everyone in any position of management in Major League Baseball is reciting the mantra. Every Big Box sport media outlet writer or talking head is reciting it, too. Every blogger who believed the ruse is humming along: "You can't bury a federal indictment in concrete." John Saunders uttered those oddly prophetic words this past Sunday on the ESPN show, The Sports Reporters ...
The Roger Clemens-Mindy McCready Affair: Just another Meaningless Incident, Right?
Wallace Matthews of Newsday spoke loud and proud for what was and is white, Anglo, racist, misogynist, debauched Western culture, especially that of America. Not all white people - men and the women who abide by its precepts - but the vast majority that applauds Matthews, defends Matthews, produces work that furthers the illness, or has been brainwashed and marches ...
Why White People Tend to Pout (Sports Version)
(Before you freak out, this piece is part serious, part poking people in the ribs. The title is a take off on the late Ralph Wiley's book title, "Why Black People Tend to Shout.") White people took the impetus to come to this land - whether someone else got here first is immaterial - and take it for themselves. They journeyed ...
“Playing Ball” Major League Baseball’s Way

Wiping Barry Bonds from AT&T: Peter Magowan’s and MLB’s Master Plan
In a move that is as crass as it is reprehensible, San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan removed any sign of Barry Bonds' presence at SBC bought by Pac Bell, merged with AT&T Park. Not even a "756" sign remains. The move also illustrates the worth of an athlete, even one who filled the pockets of the 16 National League team owners ...
Race and Sports: Maybe If the Cards are Laid Out on the Table…?
Racism, the 21st century version, is as insidious as it has been at any point in U.S. history. Gone are the days of knowing which side of the tracks to live to distinguish white and black. Gone are the days of knowing that for a black person, to cross those tracks is to cross at one's own peril. Though those ...
Of Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and Falls from Grace
On Feb. 13 Roger Clemens walked out of the Capitol in trouble. In one key moment that day, he testified that he was never at Jose Canseco's home on June 9, 1998 and even produced a receipt from a public golf course from that date. Clemens' attendance at this party was an important point of contention between the pitcher and ...
