You think Daviin Davis’ Pop gave him a whuppin’ when he saw this? You know like jump up, push everyone out the way, hop Barkley over the scorer’s table, run on the court and gave him a whuppin’ whuppin’? Good gawsh.

Nice interview with the Captain (TV Sports Daily)
I wrote the intro and the interview was conducted before Owens signed with Buffalo and also before ARod agreed to surgery on his hip…putting him on the shelf for 6-9 weeks.
An addendum added 3/10 follows the interview.
To our readers, I do these interviews to give you a well rounded perspective despite what is known. I would be remiss in my growth to not challenge myself where others are not comfortable. Long interviews like this take about 24 hours to transcribe and I found myself falling asleep at the keyboard, but I had to get this done. I want the definitive. Short interviews IMO are nothing but production. They feed a corporate service. I long for the real story and seek out compelling personalities who are unafraid to let the TSF audience know who the hell they are. There are many questions I had when finishing up our chat, but Skip explained himself sufficiently. It’s the perfectionist in me who strives for a sense of 100% reality even if most times we all fall short of something so powerfully unrealistic.
Birthday was yesterday but today is bitter sweet because today is the anniversary of Big’s
death. I’ll never forget where I was when I heard the news. I hope the big guy from Bedstuy would fall from the sky so his lyrics once again could change our lives. R.I.P Biggie.

If this guy has a show, why can’t I? Listen to the questions.
Back in Delaware in the 80′s there was all kinds of spots to get down every night of the week.
There was two spots in particular: Pulsations–which was coincidentally a couple of miles from where I am now–and TP’s (Teen Palace) where these tracks had everybody up real propa like. Pop set my curfew at 1:30 am and I had to bust my ass just to make that happen because Pop was a beast! I remember one time when I tried to sneak through the den window…
Pop was waiting for me!
You know what came next.
Love you Pop!
Here’s some of the bangers we either wopped, smurfed, fila’ed, or electric boogaloo’ed too. This is how we did it youngins. You missed some good parties. Most is electro with some classics sprinkled in. Most of these cats did not get properly compensated for these tracks: “Industry rule # 4080 record companies are shadeeeeeee!”
Bread and butter readers, disregard this, but others new to the site looking for the other half…it will be posted Monday morning sometime before 9. This part needed it’s own context so that’s the reason for the delay. The first shot across the web mainly because of some controversial content regarding Troy Aikman and the Cowboys of the 90′s.
The second installment focuses more specifically on individual athletes.
Please come back for you will find no other interviews like we conduct here at TSF.
Have a nice weekend and Be Peace.

Look, I’ll be the first to say I love the lovelies. Ain’t nothing like a sunny day with some chicks that wanna play and I’ll be on my way. Thanks for all the phone calls, text messages and Happy Birthday wishes on facebook. Most ladies I know drive better than some cats. But…to the ladies who don’t…you have to represent better than this.
Right? 
Not to be confused with this. I gotta tell ya, I’ve been anticipating The Watchmen for quite
some time now. Mizzo Jr. hits me up daily just to talk about it he’s so excited. I’m a scifi guy. I’ve always been the cat who wonders what’s out there and science fiction fuels my imagination. War of the Worlds, Mission to Mars, Dune…The Matrix trilogy…yeah that’s what I’m talking about. It’s the kid in me, but it’s also the cops and robbers hood in me that dropped my stick and looked to the stars. You can name movies if you want, but I’m more intested in the genre and why that particular category piques your interest. Have a nice weekend.

Michael Smith reported it first so he gets the shine. Honestly? I would take him in a minute. The Eagles franchise is at a crossroads so let’s get it. Donovan needs a receiver who will stretch the field. Dude has 139 touchdowns (2nd most all time)! I want Anquan Boldin first, then Chad Johnson, then Terrell Owens and finally Marvin Harrison. What do you think? Where do you think he’ll go?

As players get a little antsy jocking for position and coaches, fans and front office heads cringe at the thought of injury, the 2008-2009 NBA season pushes on. This is a renaissance period IMO, because the league is so rich in talent. The above flick is indicative of the passing of the torch from young to old, different no looks, left handed windmills and familiar thunderous Shaq jump stop bangs. Up top? Nah, ain’t a damn thing changed.

Because I have been told that dreams can come true and because I kind of get to live out a
dream every day that I write about the NBA, I decided I wanted to blog about what would be my dream dunk contest for 2010. While the hype is about whether LeBron James will be competing or not, to be honest, he’s not the guy on my list. He’s on pretty much every other list imaginable, but I picture him to be more of a powerful in-game dunker. I probably should know by now better than to vote against him. For this post though, it’s about my guys, the ones who would make All-Star Saturday night a little more exciting.
Oh yeah. I’m also going with five players and two honorable mentions, in case we need an alternate, because, well, because this is my dream contest. Who’d be in yours?
