Last week I had the privilege of doing a local radio show and discuss the NY Post cartoon that was printed last Wednesday.
In the midst of doing the show, the show host had asked me why did I run a publication/website that catered only to the African American community and not the whole communit...

Ever since President Barack Obama became this nation's president and even when he was running for the office, political satire involving him has been very "tame" compared to other cartoon depictions of political figures.
Maybe that has been because no cartoonist wants to offend the millions of Af...

SAN ANTONIO – Let the mud slinging truly begin. By the way Gene Upshaw sounds in printed stories, you would think that he was a part of the farce that we are calling the presidential election campaigns. You know about that one right? The one in which Donkey and Dumbo have so many people trying to wi...

SAN ANTONIO -- Imagine you and four of your teammates are walking down one of the crowded streets at a university on your way to a dance and you decide to talk to a pretty co-ed along the way. As you are chatting, three of her friends decide to come over and start harassing your teammates and they a...

SAN ANTONIO -- If you watched the game between the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills, you witnessed probably one of the worst things that could happen in the sport of football; a player becoming seriously injured. Let me define the word serious for a moment. Injuries happen in the game all the ti...

SAN ANTONIO – On July 24, 2004, I wrote an op/ed for the Black athlete Sports Network entitled, “In Lieu Of The BALCO Case, Are High School Athletes Still Trying To Mimic The Pros?” (go to story at http://www.blackathlete.com/High_School/index.shtml) and I mentioned a young man by the name of Tyler ...

SAN ANTONIO – “Does race color our evaluation of others? We provide new evidence on racial biases in evaluation, by examining how the number of fouls awarded against black and white NBA players varies with the racial composition of the refereeing crew.”
This sentence from the “Racial Discriminati...

SAN ANTONIO – Paging Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, please pick up a red courtesy phone. Attention all media pundits, columnist, blowhards, schizophrenic penners and dedicated scribes, we are all needed in Durham, North Carolina to atone for an egregious wrong on three young men and turn our attenti...

SAN ANTONIO -- When Don Imus called the Rutgers’ women’s basketball team a bunch of “nappy headed ho’s” last week, we were all appalled that someone who has been in the radio broadcasting industry would make such a horrific mistake. But then again if you have ever listened to “Im...

SAN ANTONIO -- I’m glad to see and read that the plight of former NFL players is being told this week but I have a problem with Ray Ratto, Dan Wetzel and others, including many of my own friends in radio and TV land, and that problem is this: where the hell were you last year, last month or last wee...

SAN ANTONIO -- The two-finger salute may have been the ugliest thing that Michael Vick has given Atlanta Falcons’ fans but his play as a six year veteran in the NFL has been the ugliest performance to date. He is by far one of the most overrated signal...

SAN ANTONIO -- Michael Irvin needs to be fired from making very offensive comments a week ago on a radio program.
“Somewhere there are some brothers in that line,” Irvin added. “I don’t know who saw what, where. His great, great, great, great grandma ran over in the ‘hood, or something went down....

SAN ANTONIO -- Brian Davis is embarking on a noble idea but I’m afraid he may be pulling a “Reggie Fowler” moment in this bid to be the second African American to have a majority interest in an NBA franchise.
Davis, who played all of one year in the NBA and spent maybe another two years working i...

SAN ANTONIO – So you’ve just plopped out about $10,000 for two season tickets to your favorite team. The season for the NBA started this week and you just can’t wait. You’ve got your signs ready. You’ve got your gear you’re going to wear and you are just completely giddy over the...

SAN ATNONIO – It’s been a few weeks since any really big news has come out of the Duquesne shooting story and it has definitely been some months since anyone has written anything about the Duke lacrosse case. Both of these stories were big headliners when they came forth but to d...

SAN ANTONIO – When it comes to the quiet voices in sports, probably no one fits this mold any better than Prentice Gautt. Dr. Gautt is remembered by friends and family for his accomplishments but this football season, the Oklahoma University family will remember him by having the helmets of this sea...

A little boy came up to his father one day and said, “Dad I think I want to be a politician.”
Now the father had never heard his 12-year-old son speak of such aspirations so he was a little bemused as well as bewildered.
“Now son, why do you think you want to go into politics?”
“Well dad, t...

SAN ANTONIO – It’s election time and already it seems that something just don’t seem to change in the political circles. But what is going on between a U.S. Congressman and a former mayor of Chattanooga is something that should be turning everyone’s stomach. Forget about Mark Foley and his penchant ...

SAN ANTONIO – At one time it was rather fashionable for college coaches to go into the inner city and give young men a chance at a better life. One of the best coaches at taking what many would call bad seeds and turning them into pretty good ball players and even better citizens...

SAN ANTONIO -- Probably the only good thing that came out of Saturday’s melee between the University of Miami and Florida International University is the fact that the two head coaches shook hands and worked to try and clean up their mess of a two football teams. That’s the only good thing. The bad ...

SAN ANTONIO – Imagine working for a company for several years, build up that company’s own financial portfolio, take part in its foundational growth through some lean times, even be applauded and given great accolades as a pioneer for that company only to find out that the very c...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – It’s an election year and already one of the biggest issues that has many voters’ attention isn’t the scandal of Mark Foley and the congressional page who he instant messaged for a year and a half, but it is a bill in which the government is prepared to crack down on online gamb...
