"Today is gonna be the day that they threw the verdict back to you. By now, you should've somehow realised what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody cheated the way you do... Look at ya now... And now you're on your way to play away at Grimsby... 114 charge aren't flimsy."

Hey y'all, I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 minutes. He was chillin' on Crenshaw, and he told me the Celtics sucked, the Warriors were delusional, and the Clippers made him laugh, which had never happened before. But he did say he liked the...composition...of my Lakers...

For college football fans, Paraguay is a MAC team that you think you can beat at their place, on a Thursday, and an hour in, you just hope that you can get out with the win and not too many injuries.

We had famed entertainment lawyer Lisa E. Davis join us on The Write Shade. She talked about how Black creativity has been stolen from Black people, almost since the day we landed upon these shores. Link in the comments.

Racism crafts artificial obstacles centered around malignant neglect, intentional ignorance, protecting a white mediocrity class, and killing Black people when everything else fails, via violence or health outcomes. This country has reaffirmed its commitment to racism via Trump.

For my next think piece for The Atlantic: "Mad Dog 20/20...how America lost its way by turning toward the weak male wines of Napa, as it ditched the masculinity associated with drinking one day fermented grape juice out of a paper bag while sitting on a curb."

SEC fans who hate the boycott by Black football players? A football position is color blind, and a white player can play it just as much as a Black player. You're not LOSING anything, and according to your logic, white players can represent the SEC as well as a Black player. You're all good. LOL

For all of those who believe Black college football players can't be convinced not to play in the SEC, you don't need all of them. Just get 10-20 of the ESPN 300 to SAY that they made a choice for X team instead of SEC team, and you'll have neo Confederates singing We Shall Overcome.

Here me out: Scrap the All-Star Game. Instead, send the All Stars all over the globe, one in each country, and have them play in that country's All-Star game. It would expose the NBA, the stars would bolster their brands, and it would be a dope 24-48-hour event. #NBAAllStar26

Someone on Twitter is keeping a running count of how many times NFL team owners or employees are mentioned in the Epstein files. As a Raiders fan, I was hoping they had photos of Mark Davis looking like this in them boys, all so the NFL would force him to sell immediately...
