Shots From The Darkside

Demonicume: ok everyone, Welcome to Hypocrisy Jeopardy- where your integrity is always in question. our contestants
today are all shady characters who are taking part in secret investigations of current athletic icons… as such, they shall remain nameless as a part of their plea deals. Shady
Character #1, you won the toss, so you get first pick. pick a category.

Shady#1: ummm, lemme get that ‘Chickens Coming Home to Roost‘ for a dub.

Demon: A what? look Padna’, we dont talk like that in front of the white folk. (looking into the camera and sounding a oddly more "professional") ok now! this
famous athlete is famously known as the Company Man. he’s sat idly by
for years while player after player was released before their option
year and then brought back for less money. Now after 3 injury ridden
seasons, and a higher INT to TD rate than Brett Favre - he’s been blind
sided by his GM who chose a scrub QB in the draft. Shady #2, your
finger was the fastest!!

Shady#2: ha, dats what she said Demo… ok, seriously, Who is Donovan McNabb?

(Crowd Boos)

Demon: oh, thats too bad, you were so close. Shady #3 you were next…

Shady #3: who is donovan mcflabb??

Demon: you are correct…

Shady#2: but thats WTF i said!!!

Demon (eyes glowing): how about you STFU or i’ll turn on the lights in this bitch? how much will your deal be worth then?

Shady #2: Grumbling

Demon: did you say something? I thought not. ok. Shady#3 the power is yours.

Shady#3: i’ll take take ‘Ruffin It Up‘ for a thousand.

Demon: looks like you hit our Daily Double. ok, get your pens ready.
The answer is thus: this group of people is harassing Michael Vick
like Florida Republicans harass Hispanics trying to vote. Shady #1
what is your answer?

Shady#1 - stupid people who let ESPN work them into a frenzy every 30
days or so? they’ll be pissed off about something else ESPN told them
to be mad about in 30 more days?

Demon: ooooo kaaaay. close, but no. lay off the crack, bruh. Shady#2?

Shady#2 - those Peta freaks who refuse to eat hamburgers and splash blood on people and call it free speach?

Demon: yup, i hate them fuckers, too. but no, thats not what our judges are looking for.

Shady#3 - the nasty fuckers who treat their animals like members of the
family. they mistake canine pack loyalty for love and can be seen
kissing their dogs on the mouth?

Demon: youre ri…

Shady#3 continues…in fact, these people display more affection
for an animal than they do for their fellow man? they have doggy health insurance and buy their dogs Xmas
presents?

Demon: #1: this is the last time you interrupt me, you got that? #2: you mustnt derogate Christ by relegating him to a symbol. you’ll
piss off our sponsors…

either way, youre all wrong. we were looking
for ‘Godamn Hypocrites’ Shady#3 since you gave the last correct
answer, the board is yours

Shady#3: i’ll take Slave Mentality for 500.

Demon: (muttering) who the hell named that category? ok! Slave Mentality. Rumor is that Billy Donovan is leaving Florida to coach the
Orlando Magic. We guess this is why he didnt take any of the numerous
deals. But there’s an outcry. the answer is: these people will cry the
loudest. Shady#1, nice to see youre still alive. whats your question?

Shady#1: Florida Fans who dont know how they’ll continue to win with subpar talent and without Billy D’s special coaching magic

Demon: close enough! (music plays)

oh well, thats all the time we have for the first
round, so i’ll give you this final answer . This
organization has been termed the No Fun League. It has enjoyed an
enormous amount of recent success. Unfortunately, organizational
performance is suffering. 2 bummed season finale’s in a row, off season
met with more turmoil than excitement… the organization is floating
ideas to globalize even as its treads down the path crated by the NHL
and MLB. Shady#3, your question?

Shady#3: i know this one: what is NASCAR!

Demon: i’m sorry but that is a correct answer though not the answer we wanted…. making it incorrect. we are all amazed your mother had any children that lived and we often wonder what you father must be like… NEXT!

Shady#2: What is the NFL?

Demon: (golf clapping) correct. look at you, all smart and stuff. you finally got one right.

Shady#2: F#@k you Demon-I-Cum.

(Demon’s eyes flash and the spotlight shines on contestant #2.)

Demonicume: why lookie here, its Mark McGwire!! who’da thunk you’d be a snitch on my show? guess that immunity isnt so ‘total’ anymore?

Mark McGwire: i’ll fucking bash your head in, you stupid Ni… (McGwire,
without his roids, can barely lift his bat. 3 big black guys with
braids and gold teeth carry his flaby arse back stage…)

Demon: (Smiling) and thats all we have for you today on Integrity
Jeopardy!! (aside to his producer) i need a double Cuba Libre w/ light ice, and 2 limes. i also need something in a 1987 - tall… maybe my height. light skin, dark hair, light
eyes. i dont want to listen to her talk, either, so i dont want no english
speaker, ya’ll got that? in fact, see if you can get me that deaf b.. what? (looking to the camery) see ya’ll next time!

I attended a memorial day party sunday night. It was  group of young sophisticates. the group throwing the party was essentially a group of my closest frat brothers and friends from college. The have some acronym for a name which, to me, seems a bit above their level. they just havent attained acronym status, yet. these are guys i passed out with, pass blunts with, passed girls with. its hard - even at the beginning of the 12th year of our friendship - to take them seriously. i bought my ticket, and believe you me, i was pissed to pay for a function run by people i used to run with. i even considered taking a date. no, not my wife, and not because she wouldnt want to go. she’s never been a part of the secret world. to her Frats and secret societies are stupid. she doesnt get the fraternities and the masons and all the hubbub in a ’supposedly’ secret handshake. i tried explaining to her that this was a function run BY the organization not FOR organization members. so i considered taking a date other than she - which got me silence for all my troubles. i didnt like the way she was smiling…

so i went alone

and ran into some old buddies. like my close friend Ray Green, formally of the Miami Dolphins, formerly of the NY Giants. He was also formerly of Burke High School in Charleston, SC. He was a WR/DB. I was a LB at a school 3 miles up the street. When we became buddies at THE University of South Carolina in late 1997, he refused to admit that i’d planted him in turf. such began our friendship, which continues today if my myspace page is any indication. Ray was the first football player to beat me in chess. He developed or fostered a sideways method of thinking. Tactically, he was unstoppable. Ray knew every form, every set up. When i got tired of losing to him, i began to think strategically. for those who miss the difference, tactics involve maneuvering. strategy involves tactics. stepping away from the table, i realized Ray knew 1001 ways to attack… and that was it. Luring him to traps was easy. time after time i used his greatest asset against him: Ray was Safety and safeties are taught to attack.  A smart safety may not bite on the play action - but the tendency is there. Well trained cats often scratch, the nicest dogs often bite, and even caged birds flap their wings in imitation of flight. the key was getting Ray to bite.

Next i ran into Carlos Powell - a USC basketball player. He attended USC much later than i did. But he and his twin worked at the local Gamecock Bi-Lo. they were good kids. Kinda lazy, though. Carlos is playing basketball for some foreign team - he was this year’s League MVP. i’m quite sure he forgot my name 10 minutes after the party ended, but we had a good conversation nonetheless. I asked him about the Euro player habit of flopping. I referenced Manu Flop-nobili and Dirk Flop-witzky. He rolled his eyes to the ceiling; took a breath and threw back his tequila. ‘I KNOW. its to the point now that i just pull up and knock down the 10 footer. these guys are too busy setting up to fake the charge to even come out and guard me. they play NO defense.‘ Nearly an exact quote from the mouths of Babes.

I think i saw Duce Staley. but he’s gotten too citified for us here in Columbia. He normally just comes back around to promote his newest collection of Rims.

There were a couple of other pro and semi- athletes there, i just cant remember their names. it was dark. the food and liquor were free and i had to get on the floor and remind everyone why i was considered the craziest cat on campus. i woke up yesterday feeling like a fat chick had sat on my head… which isnt too far from what mighta - coulda had happened if things had gone differently. or if my wife hadnt smiled at me when she was supposed be arguing.

I was impressed that so many white people came to the party. though we’ve never been a black-only group - we always had trouble recruiting white guys. back in college we did our best to expand beyond the South’s racial divides. but in my 4 years there, only one white guy ever showed up to an interest meeting. i wonder why that is? usually though, the white men and women who do show up are beyond cool. they were out there on the dance floor leading party hops and steps completely dispelling the stereotype that whites cant dance. i know MANY blacks who cant dance and a decent amount of Hispanics who can only dance salsa or meringue… and thats only because no one here stateside knows the actual steps. we dont know if theyre actually doing a rumba or not.

Yesterday we BBQ’d and shot pool. my homeboy got a 10 foot table for his den for around $700. i was thinking we could buy about 12 tables, rent a bar out and run a pool hall. or maybe that was the liquor talking. BTW, i am an 8-Ball God. 9-Ball not so much. we even played a bit of 4-Ball, which is a ghetto rip off of 9-Ball. that went for 5 dollrs a rack… 4-Ball is to 9-Ball as Tonk and Pit-Pat are to Gin Rummy… or Spades is to Hearts. ok, i’m sure you get it.

i made sure to finish my last drink before midnight and awoke this morning hang-over free.  this is how we do it…

Follow the trail of benefits Reggie Bush and his family appear to have received – back to October 2004. This is the meat from the full article which you can read here. This was reprinted without the permission of anyone at Yahoo. they’ll get over it.

Bush Received

• $595.20 in round-trip airfare from San Diego
  to Oakland in November 2005 for Bush’s stepfather, LaMar Griffin, his
  mother, Denise Griffin and younger brother to attend the USC-California
  game at Berkeley. The fees were charged to the credit card of Jamie
  Fritz, an employee of Ornstein. The document detailing the charges was
  provided by Lee Pfeifer, an estranged business associate of Ornstein’s.
• $250.65
  for limousine transportation from the Oakland airport to the
  Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco that November weekend for the Bush
  family, charged to Fritz, according to a document. Ornstein
  acknowledged both he and Bush’s family stayed at the luxury hotel.
• Suits for Bush’s stepfather and brother to
  wear during the Dec. 10, 2005 Heisman ceremony in New York, a makeover
  for his mother for the event and limousine transportation;
• Weekly payments of at least $1,500 to the Bush family.
• $623.63 for a hotel stay by Bush at the
  Venetian Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from March 11-13, 2005,
  charged to Michaels, according to a document signed by Bush.
• $1,574.86
  for a stay by Bush at the Manchester Hyatt in San Diego from March 4-6,
  2005, paid for by Michaels, according to a hotel document, a hotel

• Approximately $13,000 to Bush from New Era to purchase and modify a car, three sources said.
• As
  reported by Yahoo! Sports in April, $54,000 in rent-free living for a
  year at Michaels’ $757,500 home in Spring Valley, Calif., according to
  Michaels and San Diego attorney Brian Watkins.
• Also from
  previous Yahoo! reports, $28,000 from Michaels to help Bush’s family
  settle pre-existing debt, according to Michaels and Watkins.
• Thousands of dollars in spending money to both Bush and his family from the prospective agents, according to multiple sources.

---

This is the actual Timeline, which you can read here.

September 2004:
Reggie Bush’s stepfather, LaMar Griffin, allegedly approaches family
friend Lloyd Lake about partnering in a sports and entertainment
agency. According to sources, Griffin suggests that Bush will be the
agency’s anchor client and that the agency may also partner with the
Sycuan Indian tribe in the venture.

October 2004: Griffin and Lake approach a third man –
Sycuan business development officer Michael Michaels – in his luxury
suite in Qualcomm Stadium after a San Diego Chargers
football game. It is suggested to Michaels that he, Lake and Griffin
could be partners in the agency, along with the Sycuan Tribe.

November 2004: Michaels becomes the primary financial
backer of the agency, which would become known as New Era Sports &
Entertainment. At this point, Michaels allegedly pays off $28,000 in
debt for Bush’s parents so they can "focus" on forming the agency. New
Era representatives claim that the Griffins were holding the USC star’s
commitment to sign with New Era Sports as leverage to get the debts
paid.

Jan. 4, 2005:
USC routs Oklahoma 55-19 to win the national championship. Bush racks
up 149 total yards in rushing, receiving and returning kicks.

March 4, 2005: While in San Diego for a birthday party for St. Louis Rams
running back Marshall Faulk, Bush checks into a suite at the posh
Manchester Grand Hyatt paid for on Michaels’ credit card. Bush’s
two-day stay at the resort totaled $1,574.86.

March 11, 2005: Bush arrives at the Venetian Resort
and Casino in Las Vegas and checks into a suite paid with Michaels’
credit card. His two-day stay at the resort totaled $623.63.

March 29, 2005: Michaels purchases a 3,002-square foot home in Spring Valley, Calif., for $757,500.

April 2005: The Bush family runs into financial
problems with their residence, so Michaels allows Bush’s mother,
stepfather and younger brother to move into his Spring Valley home.

Spring 2005:
Sources say New Era Sports pays Bush almost $13,000 to buy a pristine
black-on-black 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS in Los Angeles. Sources say the
car is subsequently outfitted with chrome rims and a stereo.

Summer 2005: After allegedly failing to pay the first
several months of rent in the Spring Valley home, Bush’s parents tell
Michaels that they intend to eventually purchase the property using
their share of profits from New Era Sports. They say the payment will
come once Bush declares for the draft and signs with the firm. Around
this time, Bush begins an internship with Reebok consultant Mike
Ornstein.

September 2005:
Lake and Michaels visit Bush in the USC locker room following a game.
It is the first of at least two locker room visits by the New Era
representatives.

Early October 2005: Lake approaches San Diego-based
agent David Caravantes about possibly negotiating Bush’s playing
contract once he jumps to the NFL. Lake offers to get Caravantes in
front of Bush’s family for an interview in the coming months.
Caravantes subsequently agrees to join New Era if the firm lands Bush
as a client.

Mid-October 2005: Lake, Michaels and Griffin approach
the governing council for the Sycuan Indians to make a presentation in
hopes of forming a partnership in a new sports agency featuring Bush as
a client. Sources say Griffin wore a replica of his stepson’s No. 5 USC
jersey during the presentation. The Sycuan Tribe ultimately chooses to
pass on the prospective partnership, leaving Lake, Michaels and Griffin
to create the agency on their own.

November 2005: Ornstein, who had given Bush an
internship in his office the previous summer, becomes an adviser for
the Bush family as it seeks to interview prospective agents.

Nov. 23, 2005: Corporate papers are filed to form New Era Sports & Entertainment.

Dec. 2, 2005: Griffin shows a brochure for New Era Sports & Entertainment to a reporter from the San Diego Union-Tribune
and describes it as "a new company opening – they sent me a brochure,
they’re here in San Diego." At this point, the Bush family had been
living in the home owned by Michaels for nine months.

Dec. 10, 2005: One day before the Heisman Trophy
ceremony, Ornstein allegedly borrows $500 in cash from New Jersey
sports memorabilia dealer Bob DeMartino in order to make a payment in
excess of $1,500 to Bush’s family. DeMartino said Ornstein told him
that he paid for suits worn by Bush’s stepfather and younger brother at
the Heisman ceremony. Ornstein also allegedly paid for a makeover for
Bush’s mother and a limousine to escort the family around New York
City.

Dec. 11, 2005: Bush wins the Heisman Trophy, with only O.J. Simpson receiving more first-place votes in the award’s history.

Late December, 2005: The relationship between New Era
representatives and Bush’s family fractures. Bush and his family
allegedly stop returning phone calls from Michaels and Lake. However,
one source says Bush attempted to repair the relationship by telling
Lake and Caravantes in a phone conversation that the deal with New Era
Sports was still on.

Dec. 29, 2005: Ornstein emails DeMartino to request a $500,000 advance on a memorabilia contract DeMartino had proposed for Bush.

Mid-January, 2006: Bush hires Ornstein to be his marketing representative and agent Joel Segal to negotiate his playing contract.

Jan. 30, 2006 and Feb. 6, 2006: Marc Carlos, a lawyer
for Lake, testifies on his client’s behalf during a parole violation
hearing. Carlos states that Lake and others had been trying to put
together a sports agency with Bush as a client, and he alludes to a
falling out in the agreement between Bush and Lake’s group, referencing
potential settlement talks between the two sides.

Early February 2006: Sources say Bush and his mother
convene settlement talks with Michaels and his attorney, Brian Watkins,
at a Santa Monica, Calif., office belonging to Ornstein, Bush’s
marketing agent. Bush’s attorney, David Cornwell, is also present, and
security guards look for recording devices on Michaels and Watkins by
patting them down. Sources say Michaels attempts to talk to Bush
directly, at which point Cornwell tells Bush and his mother to leave
the room. Cornwell, according to sources, offers $100,000 to settle the
dispute. Michaels and Watkins refuse, informing Cornwell that they
intend to file a lawsuit to recoup monies given to Bush’s family and
potential earnings lost when the USC star failed to sign with New Era
Sports.

Feb. 13, 2006: Watkins sends a letter to Cornwell
requesting $3.2 million to settle the dispute over "lost business
capital" and monies given to the Bush family while attempting to build
a sports agency that he was to join. Watkins also asks if USC will be
part of settlement negotiations, "as we understand their wanting to be
involved due to the fact this matter was ongoing during their
championship season of 2004 as well as the entire season of 2005, and
any lawsuit filed might have an adverse effect on them."

April 3, 2006: New Era Sports attorney sends the Bush
family an eviction notice, requiring them to vacate the Spring Valley
home owned by Michaels.

April 20, 2006: Yahoo! Sports approaches Bush’s
mother, Denise Griffin, at the Spring Valley home owned by Michaels and
inquires about the family’s ties to the agency. She declines comment.

April 21, 2006: One day after being approached at the
Spring Valley home, Bush’s mother, stepfather and brother move out of
the house. During the move, they allegedly take $12,000 in home
furnishings provided by Michaels. On the same day, USC asks the Pacific
10 Conference to investigate the home and its ties to a sports agency.

April 24, 2006: The NCAA becomes a participant in the investigation. Also, then-Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly calls Bush and leaves a message for
him in hopes he could explain media reports about his family living in
the home of Michaels.

April 25, 2006: Casserly calls Bush a second time. Bush tells Casserly he is getting on a plane to
New York City and will call Casserly when he arrives.

April 26, 2006: Bush calls Casserly but declines to
discuss specifics of his parents’ living arrangements. He tells
Casserly that "it will be taken care of in a couple of days."

April 28, 2006:
ESPN reports that Bush’s attorney, Cornwell, has turned over evidence
of an extortion plot against his client by New Era Sports
representatives to NFL Security and the league’s Players Association.
The NFL issues a memo to teams in which Bush denies any knowledge of
his parents’ financial ties to New Era Sports. Later that day, the
Texans pass on Bush with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. A source
with the team says Bush’s reluctance to discuss specifics of his
parents’ living arrangements played a part in the Texans’ decision to
bypass him.

Nothing really controversial to explore, so I’ll run down today’s top
stories 10 to 1. Before you continue, i feel the need to warn you. When I blog without a strategy, crazy things happen. Many of you ain’t ready for my herky-jerk style of bloggin. i say things. and if everything goes as planned, it may even sound like i didnt mean them. Get over it, this is Darkside Blogging, biyatches… LETS GET IT ON!

10. Keyshawn replaces Michael Irvin as annoying yet suave black guy on ESPN.
We really hate company man, Uncle Tom Jackson and all his faux passion.

It’s a sad, sad day in football. The last of the lead footed WRs sat down
today. There was once a time when coaches preferred receivers who caught the
ball first and ran fast second. Now all a guy’s gotta be is fast. That’s why
the NFL is starting to suck. Sure, the NFL HYPE machine might be off-the-chain,
but the football we’re watching is piss poor. Poor performances by players,
poor coaching, poor management. When Keyshawn came into the league, a WR had a
job to do besides running up the field selling the play-fake. They had to
run-block. Guy like Keyshawn could come across the middle and stop a linebacker
just long enough for a RB to get to the second level. There’re 60 - 70 plays a
game, per team. A top notch receiver in a pass happy offense will see 10 - 12
catches. The other 50-60 plays are spent doing what Keyshawn did. So he wasn’t
a 4.3 WR. How many receivers in the Hall of Fame could run that fast? None of
them.

If you think running fast is more than 20% of a WRs job, turn in your
blog-card. I’ll take Keyshawn over every receiver in the league except Terrell
Owens, Steve Smith and that scrub in Indianapolis.
Coaching determines who gets open deep. Deione was the fastest guy in the
history of the league - a certified 4.26 with pads. He won’t be in the Hall as
a WR.

9. Officials: Henry’s clean - this is a no-story. Know why? Because a
player’s first drug offense is supposed to be a secret. But there are people
out there scheming against players’ interests. There doesn’t have to be a
conspiracy for there to be a conspiracy. It doesn’t have to be 10 people with
similar goals working to bring someone down. It could simply be a short causal
network of contacts and acquaintances who know that we Fans are too shallow to
care about things like privacy or morality. I say: it shouldn’t have been
leaked. You say: he shouldn’t have done whatever he did. Well, it turns out he didn’t
do what he shoulda did - is that snitch who leaked the false info gonna come
out and apologize? Right is right.

8. Cowboys will host 2011 Super Bowl - so what? Even if luck smiled on my
boys and they got into the game, I couldn’t go see them. The stadium is
ridiculously expensive. It’s so expensive that Jerry Jones refused to show the
stockholders, eeeerrr the county tax payers, the plans so that they can account
for the 1 Billion dollar price tag. He pulled a G-Dubya and said that releasing
the plans to the building would be a threat to it security. To make nice with
the people footing the bill, this stadium will seat more corporate and special
interest seating than any 2 current stadiums. Even if my Cowboys make it, I can’t
afford a ticket. If could afford a ticket, there wouldn’t be any available
to actual Cowboys Fans.

7. Redskins apologize for Clinton Portis. I know some of you are butt-hurt
about CP’s comments. i’mma have to ask you to take your dog’s paw outta your hind-end
for second and think about what he said - it was all true. Looking at their
laws, states of Georgia and Virginia agree. Dog fighting is a misdemeanor in VA
and a 5000 fine in GA. I’m looking for a pro-choice, anti-welfare, pro-war
person to go out and have a hamburger with. Then we can discuss the evil
treatment of these poor animals.

6. Should NFL play abroad? Hell_NAW! First, the logistics are stupid. One
team is going to always be outta sync. The game would have to be scheduled
right after a Bi-Week. That gives the Away Team a week to get acclimated to the
new climate, and time zone and a week for practice. But then there’s a problem
on the return trip. Jet lag could be the difference between our favorite player
scoring a TD or throwing an INT.

But there are deeper implications.

The NFL has reached its Omega point. It’s reached the point where it can
chose to fight entropy or for profits - you can’t do both. Most people can
remember this to be when McDonald’s started charging for refills and ketchup.
This is when our favorite convenience store started charging for ICE. This is
the point when the NFL takes its eyes off the goal of putting out a great
entertainment package and starts dreaming about all the million of little Euro
soccer fans who wanna buy Jerseys. Having just
come back from the Nazi McDonalds that charges for ketchup and hordes napkins, I
can tell ya - we’re in trouble.

The NFL has forgotten its place. The NFL didn’t become the premiere
organization because they put out high quality football. This new found
popularity stems from the NHL, NBA, Boxing and the MLB all drank their
neighbors Kool-Aid. Had those sports not turned their back on the fans, NFL
football would still be the ranked behind college football on every day but the
super bowl.

Trust me; we’ll be having this conversation in 5 years. I said it here first

5. Giambi courageously apologizes for using steroids a
week before word leaks about latest drug test. Some explain to me how they have
proof and a confession he cheated - and he’s cheered? Please keep your
pre-school logic to yourselves. I don’t wanna hear about how apologizing makes
it OK. Lemme sleep with your wife, and then when I’m done, I’ll apologize. We
cool? That thing you felt when you read that was a double standard being born.

4. So some kid puts out a rap album. He plays for the
Mets. He uses the ‘N’ word. Ok. So do I. he
calls girls ho’s. ok, I know plenty of Ho’s. I used to be a ho myself. why the
double standard? its not. White folk don’t use it right, so now none of you can
use it. I’m not even sure why you’d want to. If you can use the word in a
sentence without sounding like David Duke, have at it. I once heard some gay
guys calling each other queens. Would I do it? Prolly not, it’d piss them off.
is that fair? prolly not, but 1) life aint fair and 2) I don’t normally toss
out racial slurs unless I’m talking about blacks to other blacks. If he kicked
my dog - I might refer to him as a fucking queen… which is why I’m not
allowed to use the word: I don’t use it right. When used that way, its an
insult - not a a term of familiarity. Since you can’t tell by looking at me if I’m
a homophobic ‘N’ or a heterophobic ‘N’ - I just don’t use it.

Quick, name this quote: ‘[They] were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don’t mean,
like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which
is more meaningful I think.‘

if i called someone a brother, there’d be little doubt how i meant it. 

3. Don Imus is still an ass. He’s suing his former employees. GOOD FOR HIM. They
broke a contract when they fired him - he deserves his money. For the record:
even though there were racist implications, that guy got fired because he’s a
sandy butt hole. He disrespected the 12 people that shouldn’t have been
insulted. A musical prodigy, a med student… and they all had 3.5 GPA’s?
Jesus, the NCAA should be holding Rutgers up
as an example. Dumuss got fired because he insulted the virtues of these ladies
- which no real man would tolerate. If he’d said that about my sister, I woulda
caught some charges for beating his pale ass. Chivalry is not dead, ladies. You
do have honor and you deserve to be respected. What about rap music? I don’t
know, I quit listening to it the day some preppy white kids from Myrtle Beach pulled up
beside me in a BMW bumping 50 Cent. It kinda lost it flavor right then and I’ve
never looked back.

2. Real Sports Bloggers has a Google page rank of 4/10 and we’re listed in
SC’s official blogging directory. Thanks to everyone who still blogs with me. Everyone
is invited if you wanna promote your work. More and more people are dippin out of
here. they’re bing replaced by ‘less intense’ bloggers. I find myself thinking of this
place as a big message board rather than a real blog. Come on baby, Fox aint
nuthin but a sandwich. RSBloggers is a meal. It’ll only hurt for a second…

1. Tune into the radio show tonite. I don’t know if they expect me to call
in or not. i will if they want me to. i’m not really part of the mainstream around here, so i guess we’ll see whassup.

CLEMSON — At least seven current and former Clemson women’s track and field athletes have had abortions out of fear of losing their scholarships, according to an ESPN report. Athletics director Terry Don Phillips said that to his knowledge, no athletes have reported taking such actions to athletics department officials. He also said he is unaware of the identities of any of the athletes cited in the report.

My Take:
This is more a condemnation of legalized abortion than of some ill-conceived rule
(from here on out, all puns are intended) Continue reading “Between the lines: Abortion”
