I'll start with LaDainian Tomlinson's interview on 60 minutes and how the closing was used to throw dirt onto Michael Vick, yet again. We were reminded how the Chargers traded away their pick to Atlanta, who chose Vick. It was supposed to be ironic, but it was just another kick to a man that is already down.
Read this excerpt from "The phone call that changed history":New York Daily News 8/26/2007It turned out to be one of the most important trades in NFL history. Vick has
turned from the face to the disgrace of the NFL. The Chargers took running back
LaDainian Tomlinson, who has developed into the best player in the league.
Michael Vick can be anybody. One minute you're riding high and then the next knocked down and kicked in the ass. It can be for whatever reason the 'powers-that-be', what to implement.
But getting back to LT (it was a great segment by the way it might be up on CBS.com), his interview had me thinking a few things...1.) Why do our Black athletes and artists wear such big ass diamond earrings?
2.) Should leagues just start giving out Bentleys on draft night? And does everybody have the same 5 cars? 3.) Why can't athletes ban together for one common cause? You never see athletes pull their money together. Even Alan Greenspan donates to Bill Gates' Foundation, like he really needs the money.
In other news....
Today, the IOC banned Marion Jones from attending the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and may move to issue a lifetime ban. Her medals were also officially revoked and her name stripped from the history books. If they could, they probably would have us all look into one of those memory erasers from "Men In Black".I sincerely hope that Marion Jones stays strong. I can't imagine what she may going through. This is the time when people really need to rally around and support her. Steroids shouldn't make you a public misfit. DUI, Domestic Violence, and Failure to pay child support should. I can't be mad at anyone that uses steroids. You have to be one hell of a competitor to even risk losing everything you worked for just for the advantage. Like I said before, the talent has to already be there in order for the drugs to even give you an advantage. Its just a shame.
Deep Down Philly Wishes T.O. was still an Eagle....
The Eagles play the Cowboys Sunday, so of course we have been bombarded with Terrell Owens clips thus far, leading up to the game. You would think he played here longer than a season and a half.
On a final note....
This is Angel "Lola Luv" she's a model and she carries quite a load on her tiny frame. According to some people she has butt implants. According to others its all natural. According to me, it pays the bills and gets her on red carpets, so more power to her. I have never in my life heard Black women debate over another woman's ASSets. This is really out of control. Are we that consumed with bullshit that a woman that makes a living by a having a nice body is something to debate over? Is it real or is it fake? Does what Lola Luv eats make you sh*t?I've been told I'm Queen of the Haters Ball, but on this one, I have to say STOP HATING. There is absolutely nothing to hate this girl for. Beyonce, I understand she's amazingly talented and those gifts are bestowed on a few. I can understand being jealous or envious. But Lola Luv makes a living based on how her body looks, so if she has butt implants it worked. If she's all natural, she's blessed to not have the gut and thighs to match.
