G.O.A.T. (Re-Post)

By the time I was aware of anything going on in my life and in the world, Muhammad Ali was ending his career and thus very far from his glory days. I have no idea how I became aware of him, saw him as the Greatest of All Times (G.O.A.T.) as he said of himself,Continue reading “G.O.A.T. (Re-Post)”

R.I.P. Stuart Scott

Stuart Scott was a phenomenal anchor at ESPN. One of Scott’s greatest traits as an anchor, to me, was the integrity he showed by embracing the man he wanted to be while working in the mainstream. Despite the many early critics who dismissed his cool, black vernacular style and those who remained disgruntled even whenContinue reading “R.I.P. Stuart Scott”

As with Jones, who also owned up to using performanceContinue reading “Lance Armstrong and Bottomless Rage”

Benji is Worthwhile Viewing

I have to admit my ignorance. When I first encountered the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary title Benji, I thought it was a reference to the dog of that same name and so I imagined that it would be a film that focused on the dog’s intense training.
