The Senior Stop event took place at Carver High School and Osi in conjunction with Nike was on site to speak with the kids about hard work and AIDS awareness.</p>

<p>Calgary Flames superstar right winger <strong>Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla</strong> is the shining light in a sport that has literally known no Darkness. To many Blacks in the United States the sport of hockey falls in the same category as NASCAR or any sport that we have yet to dominate. Iginla is hockey&#8217;s first true dominant Black player since Edmonton Oilers goalie Grant Fuhr.</p>
<p>And at his current pace he isn&#8217;t done spreading his story or dominance throughout the NHL.</p>
<p>This is for you Michelle!</p>

<em>Are you serious? But I thought we&#8217;ve come so far? </em></p>
<p>Sent this from Miranda who is just as disgusted as I am. I couldn&#8217;t imagine living in the area where these shirts are sold outside of a bar. People listen, there some things that change but a lot is going to stay the same. We can only hope that the good people out there of all races understand what&#8217;s at stake in November.</p>
<p>How in the hell can they want George Bush 3?!? Remember 4 dollars for gas is not far from 10. Don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s beyond the realm of possibility.</p>

One of those guys has to step forward and say, ‘We&#8217;re not playing well and here&#8217;s why we&#8217;re not playing well and let&#8217;s correct it.&#8217;  Whatever it is, one of The Big Three has to step forward and get on the other guys and make them say, ‘we&#8217;ve got to come with a better effort and be ready for games.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>When I initially saw this as it happened, I thought it was just some irate Cleveland lady fan reppin&#8217; her squad. When they played it back, I almost fell on the floor because that lady was in fact Bron Bron&#8217;s Mom Gloria.</p>
<p>Real rap?</p>
<p>She looked like she wanted to crack one of those C&#8217;s as it was going down. Straight classic.</p>
<p>Dig the KG <em>get off my baby&#8230;I&#8217;m sick of ya&#8217;ll trying to hurt my baby </em>forearm. You gotta hand it to KG, he&#8217;s so respectful.</p>
<p>Well later on&#8230;Happy belated Mother&#8217;s Day!</p>

<p>Damn LeBron&#8230;it&#8217;s like that? Too bad he didn&#8217;t get Pierce huh?</p>
<p>Now you have to win the series and one more so your true legacy will begin.</p>
<p>Hmmm could it be Kobe vs. LeBron?</p>

<em>How many home runs would Barry Bonds hit if there weren&#8217;t so much of these? </em></p>
<p><strong>DZ stops by TSF yet again to drop some real rap on Bonds being grounded</strong></p>
<p>The Commissar Vanishes is a coffee table book for only the dourest of coffee tables. The hard-covered volume is a photographic compilation of the way that Josef Stalin systematically erased his chief political opponents, Leon Trotsky and his followers, from the history of the Russian Revolution.</p>

<p>While many are still trying to digest the fact that Kobe Bryant is the 2007-08 NBA MVP despite MVP-worthy seasons from New Orleans&#8217; Chris Paul and Cleveland&#8217;s LeBron James. I&#8217;ve come up with a question.</p>
<p>Who was the best player in any sport or season (other than this season) not to win his/her respective league&#8217;s MVP Award.</p>
<p>In doing so lets steer from the Bryant, Paul or James debate. Feel free to utilize the other threads on the site for that discussion.</p>
