I'll never forget a couple of my boys and my COUSIN giving me a soda and telling me they got it out of the trash after I took a gulp. Punk asses... You can bring Q if you want. Got the PS3 in the loft so he can get down. That’s what brothas do.

I'm gonna try and make it Q has another recital at school tonight. But I'm gonna try and come through. They stayed settin me up, I was always the butt of the joke.

I remember she was still at Va. and me and some of my homies were at McGonigle Hall checkin out some summer league B-Ball games, so one of my homies knew her and called her over and told her that I had a crush on her, she turned red, I don't know what color I turned because I'm dark but everytime I saw her after that we always spoke to one another. I gotta admit a bruthas game wasn't tight back them. Not for an All-American anyway. :-) She’s 2years and 3 days older than me.

Although I never met her, she always seemed like someone whose heart was as big as her game, and I'm glad that you've confirmed my assumption with your own personal observations, AG. On the one hand, I often wish that our best and brightest would stay committed to our Black schools and communities for the long-term (I know Temple is not an HBCU, but you get my point...), but I can also understand the allure of coaching in the SEC, especially for someone like Staley who has proven her committment and worth to the community and to young Black women time and time again. Hopefully, she can go there and rescue some of the SEC's Black athletes (women and men) from the conveyor belt, and do some good for our top-tier D1 athletes, for a change.

Triple double threat--with blocks--in basketball. Power to all fields with track speed in soft ball. I'm learning a lot about the competitiveness of women in sports and as far as I can see they've got men beat collectively on the youth level. They get back on d without berating the refs and run to the dugout after striking out. It's amazing to watch. I have a daughter who is quite the young athlete.

Please, I'm asking nicely. I've made 3 posts this week, and I was going to post this story, however I've noticed a pattern that you JACK everything I do. So I sent this to Mizzo and asked him to post this. Coach Staley is a true American ICON. She even assisted me and my family a few years ago. Giving me money from her pocket just because she cares about her community. If you have a problem with what she has on, send us pictures of you and try not to get upset when strangers throw darts and jabs. I mean this is the Internet, so we do not interact other than words. All I'm saying is, for Coach, not for me, please have some respect. Thank you so very much. Peace be upon us. David Mac, please leave Coach Dawn Staley out of your antics. Please, I’m asking nicely.

Point blank she is going to earn great pay in a better conference and MOST importantly, Columbia, South Carolina is a MUCH better environment to live in, than North Philadelphia. Coach Staley was my first summer league coach. She is from Ramon Rozen Housing Projects on 24th and Diamond. She grew up here, and gave back. There is nothing else to left to do or prove, and her foundation is in good hands with Dr. Nelson. I'll miss you around the way coach, nevertheless the way Philly is now, I don't blame you. I'm trying to escape as well.
