Michael Vick will not be indicted
in the dog fighting flap. That’s bad news for the machine that invested
so much time and money manipulating news to give the appearance that
Vick is just a low-life nigger - oops, “thug” - who has a list of
maleficent acts rivaling that...
Ahhhh, yes. Wimbledon. Since I was nine, the introductory music
announcing Wimbledon on NBC gave me the chills. Then it meant I got to
watch John McEnroe. Being a lefty, he was my idol. A few years later
that music acted as a harbinger of the U.S. national tournament...
On June 22 Terry “Tank” Johnson, formerly of the Chicago Bears, was
arrested at 3:30 a.m. in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert for suspicion of

Barry Bonds is about to get it. While almost all of the
BALCO-related headlines scream of Bud Selig’s threat to suspend Jason
Giambi and of ex Bonds attorney Troy Ellerman’s plea bargain being
rejected, Bonds is on the verge of receiving his just desserts.
There is no big...
Before Eric Clapton met Jimi Hendrix, he imagined blues
musicians to be black, black men driving long, pink Cadillacs with
their guitars in the back. He imagined that they drove from gig to gig
on dusty roads always one step ahead of the police and scorned lovers.
He imagined...
America loves a good nightmare image. Scott Petersons appear on
magazine covers, grayed-out images of ghost-like horror or the
opposite: HD color so stark 3-D glasses are not needed to feel his
hands push us down on the killing floor.
Michael Vick is now one of those faces:...
When I read that Genarlow Wilson was not being released from prison, I began to cry.
Wilson was a star in the classroom and highly-regarded prep football
player in Georgia who held Detroit Lions first round draft choice
Calvin Johnson to four receptions in two games. Most...
On September 3, 2003, in a scene out of the Pablo Escobar story, IRS
agents and local authorities flooded the ground around the Bay Area
Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO) with bullet-proof vested SWAT agents and

You know how you can tell when it’s more important to kill the
message a person is trying to get across, especially a black person,
especially a black person talking about racism; especially a black
person talking about racism who is generally disliked by the...
Bye-by Kobe. Can you say Sisyphus?

What franchise is worth more, the NBA or Nike? Oh, I thought so.
Because Bron Bron, the Game One idiot savant with his idiosyncratic way
of pounding opposing players with his body on the way to the rack like
the cartoon Bam...
Kelli Naqi interviewed an “informer” who told her the lurid story about
Michael Vick the dog fighter and Michael Vick the dog fighting bettor.
According to the informer his dog squared off against Vick’s dog in
2000 saying:
“He’s a pit bull fighter. He’s one of...
It turns out there may be no fire. It turns out the smoke was
created by external forces hoping to create a blaze in which Michael
Vick and to a lesser degree Virginia Commonwealth Attorney Gerald F.
Poindexter became trapped.
And it turns out that patience truly is a...
I give you one of my tennis rackets. You go to the tennis courts to
play against another player. You’re playing horribly. At one point
during your match with the other player you totally freak out, smash my
racket. In the process you destroy a chair and a bench, and then...
