The One-Man Stimulus Package

There is a lone African American out there who all are turning to. The ship has gone terribly off course – especially over the past few months – and only he apparently can set it straight.

It wasn’t long ago where everyone was prospering, the banks were lined up, flush with cash to contribute their bit to the cause. Now most are all but insolvent, corporations are falling left and right and things appear to be almost hopeless.

Feb 18th, 2009 – As the Cars Turn

Is there any other sport that better encapsulates the times we are in than stock car racing?

Just look at this past weekend’s signature event.

Labeled the “Great American Race,” Sunday’s Daytona 500 wasn’t great, and could hardly be called a race. But one thing it was for sure, it was American.

Feb 12th, 2009 – A-Fraud

The angst, the outrage, the fan uprising, the media frenzy.

What about you? Shocked? Feeling letdown? Is baseball over for you?

Well, get over yourself. Everyone should have known years ago had we only been paying attention.

Feb 4th, 2009 – The Month that Blows

Thanks Super Bowl – now February gets to piss us off even more than usual.

The month that lingers on like a BBQ stain on a white T has just become even more onerous because all we have is a great game (the greatest game?) to look back upon – and little to look forward to.

View from the Couch – NFL Playoffs Opinion

Jan 7th, 2009 – Heads or Fail

One day after Peyton Manning was named the NFL’s MVP, the league let him down with a toss of a coin.

It has been a long-time rule that tied NFL playoff games end in overtime with the first score. After Saturday, that rule has got a lotta folks all upset like.

San Diego took the ball after regulation and then proceeded to march down the field and score on their first possession of overtime allowing the Chargers to move on. The Colts were sent home without the league’s MVP having the opportunity to touch the football.

Dec 31st, 2008 – A Year Sports Fans Might Want to Skip

On the morning of September 15th, 2008, the news from Wall Street was disastrous. Later dubbed as another “Black Monday” by the media, John McCain insisted in a speech that same morning that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.”

With those seven little words his run for the American Presidency effectively was over.

Nov 12th, 2008 – Obama had a Tiger in his Tank

The most famous person in the world right now is the new American President, Barack Obama, but just a few days before Election Day, it was another young man of mixed ethnicity, Tiger Woods.

A co-inky-dink you think? Not really as it was athletes like Tiger who helped pave the way for America to get over itself and elect a visible minority to the White House.

Oct 14th, 2008 – Dissing-Parity

The Tennessee Titans are now the top ranked team in the NFL – and they attained that lofty status by taking the week off.

Welcome to the National Floccinaucinihilipilification League.

Floccinau-what? With 29 letters and 12 syllables, “floccinaucinihilipilification” is the longest non-technical word in the English dictionary and it is defined as “the act of describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by depreciation.”
