Social media went nuts overnight in the wake of Nina Davuluri

Winning Miss America, why Idk. People was calling her names and denouncing her as not being Americana “brings back president Obama’s election”. This beautiful women didn’t deserve these horrible attacks .But that brings us to the point of saying  that in America we have the right to say what we want about people even if its utterly ignorant and dis tasteful.....leading me to my rant

How to kill a Viking

Chicago bears rally a win over A.P and the Vikings

 

It’s been week 2 and J.C till holding strong with a fourth quarter comeback win over the Vikings Sunday ,which leads us to think "is J.C and the bears really who we think they are?

A few turn overs, couple interceptions and a fumble by matt forte had me a little shaky, but J.C eventually grabs the game by the neck and leads them through.

Brandon Marshall called him Mr. .fourth quarter, some others call him Mr. Cavallari, damn his wife is hot ...but that’s another story, but I’m just going to call him a, for now a passionate hard working football quarterback...notice I said for now, because us Chicago fans will turn on your ass like my 2 year olds pissy mattress the moment you do something unorthodox which is what the bears did on a couple occasions Sunday.

Is he 100% ready?

17 months ago derrick rose was carried off the court with a damaged Almond the question today we ask is if he really 100% ready to compete."I think I am a 100 percent" I'm doing almost everything. I'm squatting, running, lifting almost every other day....Those were words from his own mouth, but are we confident in him enough to believe him?

The battle against sports concussions

Making Headway Against Traumatic Brain Injuries

Five words or less – Despite the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions among athletes and service members, the road to diagnosis and prevention is an unpaved one riddled with obstacles.
 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report more than 1 million sports-related traumatic brain injuries in the U.S. every year, striking middle-schoolers and professional football players alike. Concussions comprise nearly 90 percent of the 1.4 million TBI-related deaths, hospitalizations and ER visits each year.

Football at 60 wow

“Senior” Author Flynt Proves There’s No Age Limit on Dreams

 

While most almost-60-year-olds are card-carrying members of AARP, counting down the days until they spend time with their grandkids or until they hit the links for 18-holes, Mike Flynt decided he wanted to play college-level football. He was 59.

 

To understand the how and the why, you’ll have to read his new book, “The Senior,” which details his experience as the oldest contributing member of a college football team in NCAA history. Suffice it to say, Flynt is striving to prove that certainly there is life after football, but should you choose to, you can always go back and achieve your dreams, no matter the age.

 

Flynt grew up in Odessa, Texas, a relatively small town by Texas standards with a big heart for football. And like most young boys, Flynt grew up living and breathing the sport.

College football and money

College football and money

Payments, bonuses and gifts



Oklahoma's Boone Pickens Stadium 

SI just recently did a story on college football and kickbacks to players. I could never get the point behind the whole “don’t except money” thing, I mean why not ,these college stadiums are packed for these games, coaches, while not making nearly as much as NFL coaches are paid well and vendors are eating so why not let a player get a couple dollars or gifts based on their performance?

The SI story shed some light on Oklahoma states NCAA rule breaking in order to obtain a national-title contender. Since 2002 the cowboys have had 10 successful seasons out of 11, and in 2011 ended No.3 in the country, the topmost final position in the programs 111-year chronicle.

Lamar Odom suffering from kardashinitis

"Click here to learn the secret method of slam dunking and impress your friends"

Has Lamar Odom Fallen from Grace or did he come down with a life ravishing disease that was passed down to him through a talentless money hungry family(yes this disease is hereditary)?

Lamar Joseph Odom is an American professional basketball forward who last played with the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. He was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year and won two NBA championships as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.



NBA Star Lamar Odom

What’s in question today is his drug problems and NBA career. So I’ve decided to put together my own analysis of a particular disease we are going to call Kardashinitis, yea that’s right, I made it up. Some of the symptoms include being in raged at the paparazzi , end up being the punch line of every late night talk show and beyond… oooh and not to mention the ridiculous amount of face time on every gossip magazine published.

Any way I feel for Lamar Odom not only because every time a African American celebrity does drugs the media aims toward calling them crack heads, portraying this bummy nasty image of pooky in your head that this crack thing is a black thing. Any hoots, I didn’t mean to get all Al Sharpton on ya’ll but it does piss me off sometime. How do we know it’s not lean, cocaine or lsd or something a lot cooler and expensive? On top of that I feel he’s been handling the media pretty well for someone who’s been slandered so hard, hey he’s still rich so I don’t feel that bad for him.

Mayweather post confrence

Check out the Mayweather  Canelo post fight conference......

Can Money Mayweather be beat

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is an American professional boxer, currently undefeated as a professional. He is a five-division world champion, who has won eight world titles and the Lineal championship in three different weight classes. And by the time I’m writing this article he is going to have a hell of a lot more accolades to add to his resume.

But the question tonight is can he be beat and if so by who? I’ve asked myself this question many of fight nights as I watch the brazen boxer make his way to the ring off a fiddy cent beat, strutting with poise as if he damn near paid his competition to fall.

White Sox minor-leaguer Greg Shepard's fight with a wall

When Chicago White Sox minor-leaguer Greg Shepard remembers his life-altering sports injury in 2000 where he slammed into the left centerfield wall chasing a fly ball, his words are simple.
“The wall won.”
The next morning, Shepard woke up virtually paralyzed. “I couldn’t lift my body out of bed, turn my head or move my right arm,” says Shepard. Naturally, his wife at the time wanted to rush him to the emergency room straightaway. But Shepard had something else in mind.
“I told her,” he recalls, “to ‘open the telephone book and find me a chiropractor.’”
Although Shepard may not have realized at the time, that decision was a game-changer.
