During a recent press conference, Kansas City Chiefs’ Head Coach, Andy Reid, was asked to name the top 3 rappers alive. He actually names four, two of which many people would agree on. However, the other two will have you rolling. Check out the video below.
Let me know what you think of his list, and for fun, drop your list of the top 3 rappers alive in the comments section below.
Sum up in one word your thoughts on any of the following hot 🔥 topics in sports!
After concluding a disappointing first season at Colorado, Coach Prime is locked in and focused on building for next year. However, a once promising recruiting class has taken a hit. Over the last several weeks, it has been reported that several commits have had a change of heart and will not be joining the Colorado hype machine. It also seems that several players from this season’s team are jumping ship and have entered the transfer portal (Most notably, starting LB Marvin Ham, II).
Before the start of the season, no one had any expectations for the Buffaloes. To the surprise of many, Prime’s squad started the season 3-0, including a victory over last year’s national runner-up, TCU. Colorado became the center of the College Football Universe and the Sports World in general. Despite much fanfare and great promise, the Buffaloes would only win one of their remaining nine games to finish a disappointing 4-8.
To be fair, Colorado was hit with several major injuries, including loosing two way star DB/WR, Travis Hunter, for several games and a late season back injury to QB Shaduer Sanders. Despite this fact, Prime’s Squad had enough fire power to win more than one of their last nine games. What happened to the Buffaloes? Oftentimes, the O-line seemed disengaged early in games, and the pass protection often broke down moments after the snap. Though Travis Hunter & Shilo Sanders showed flashes of greatness, the Buffaloes often left holes in the middle of the field, and the defensive play calling was abysmal late ij games.
Deion had a ton of success in his brief career at Jackson State. He was regarded there as a brilliant leader, motivator, innovator, and winner. Aside from the first few games of this season, many would argue that at the D1/FBS level, he has been anything but brilliant. Prime lost more games this season (8) than he lost in three years at Jackson (6). This has led some to ponder if he is really cut out to coach a major college program, while others are still 100% bought in and believe Prime is the next big thing in coaching.
Deion Sanders is a polarizing figure. He talks a lot. I mean a whole lot! However, the man is a winner! He was a standout as a player at all levels. In coaching he won at the high school level, he dominated at Jackson State to the tune of a 27-6 record. He drew attention to HBCU’s like no coach ever has. He has drive, charisma, and confidence that makes people believe he can accomplish anything he wants.
Colorado was 1-11 in 2022 before Prime arrived on the scene. They finished 4-8 this season. No one can argue that four is more than one. Therefore, he did have a measure of relative success. Though some recruits have backed out and a few players are transferring, Boulder is still an attractive destination. Prime has the ability to get people noticed, and in the era of NIL deals, young athletes want eyes on them in hopes that it correlates to $$$. I think that with the foundation they have, plus what he will add in the transfer portal and via recruits, Coach Prime will have the Buffs in a better position to be competitive next year. Perhaps a 7-5 season. So do I think Deion Sanders is overrated? No!

I was hanging out with a couple friends recently who grew up during my era. One of them brought up the classic video game NBA Jam. The 2 on 2 iconic basketball video game was originally released by Midway as an arcade game in 1993. It paved the way for many other sports video games that would follow, as it was one of the first video games to feature the full names and likeness of NBA players and teams. It was released in 1994 for home gaming consoles such as Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo.
My parents didn’t have much money, so I typically could not buy video games when they were first released. Instead, I would have to ride my bike to Blockbuster Video or another local video store and rent games that I wanted to play. I can recall renting NBA Jam multiple times until I could afford to buy the game once the initial hype waned. I had many, many epic battles for hours on end with my brother and cousins on my Sega and fuzzy 19” tube tv.
NBA Jam was a perfect combination of realism and hyperbole. The people depicted were real, but the stuff they could do on the court was heavily exaggerated! The players could jump so high that they defied human ability and physics and could earn turbo speed! There were no fouls, so you could freely elbow and push your opponents around like rag dolls. (Now that I think about it, maybe this is where Draymond Green got the idea for his famous groin punches, chest stomps, and headlocks!). The game featured commentary from a voice that closely resembled the great Marv Albert. I still hear his catch-phrases in my head loud and clear: “Boomshakalaka”, “He’s heating up”, “He’s on fire!”, “Hey come on, the rim has feelings too.”

We all know who the greatest of all time in the NBA is, however, that is a debate for another day. 🙂
Today, we are asking who is each NBA team’s greatest player ever??? Below is my list.
Now, before you start picking it apart and telling me how wrong I am, note the elements I considered in creating my list:
People often point out that stars in the modern era change teams too often. In researching for this post, I realized that even in what most of us 40-year-old+ fans call the Golden Era of the NBA (1976ish-1998ish), many star players played for multiple teams as well. Some players’ best years may have occurred on teams that they are not necessarily known for playing for. Others may be synonymous with a particular team, yet they may have only played there for a short time.
Check out my list and let me know what you think. If you think someone doesn’t belong, who would you replace them with? Sound off in the comments section and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

I know I’m late writing about this, but I can not resist. Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors was recently suspended for 5 games after putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock during a game. Checkout the entire altercation by clicking the video below.
If you are a wrestling fan, I’m sure you would agree that this was a textbook application of a classic wrestling move! 🤣
It made me think who has a better headlock the NBA’s current King of Pettiness AKA Draymond Green or the Greatest Wrestler of All-time, Nature Boy (Wooooooo), Ric Flair? What do you think? Share your take in the comments section below.

In recent weeks, the two most popular sports debate shows on television have undergone major transitions.
After leaving “Undisputed” back in June, NFL Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharpe has joined Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s “First Take.” The pairing of Stephen A. and Shannon has already yielded some pretty compelling debates (including the always fun Jordan V. LeBron debate). We have also already seen blunders like Shannon accidentally calling Stephen A. Skip (as in his former co-host Skip Bayless) during the first few minutes of his debut episode! The jury is still out on the pairing to say the least.
On FS1, after returning from a two month hiatus, Skip Bayless has a new theme song (“Good Morning” by Lil Wayne) and a stellar squad of debate partners. Skip has gone blow for blow with NFL Hall of Famers Michael Irvin, Richard Sherman, and Keyshawn Johnson. The show has also featured appearances by Lil Wayne and Rachel Nichols. “Undisputed” has been a bit clunky, with the panel frequently talking over each other. Skip has repeatedly reminded his cohorts that he gets the last word. Lil Wayne’s commentary has been somewhat insightful, but it’s still weird hearing Weasie talk about sports. There have been some good debates, but I’m not sure how long these strong personalities can co-exist.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed the new lineups? How long will it be before Skip goes too far and alienates one of his new cohosts? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

O No!!! What Did They Say This Time???
For anyone who knows me or follows this site, you know that my family typically hates all things sports! They usually watch games with me just to make fun of me and my fandom or to disrespect the game! They do however like to watch the Super Bowl, not because they like football, or for the excitement of the game, but for the commercials and the halftime show! As usual they had many funny anecdotes, sly comments, and downright mean things to say about the game though! Take a look and enjoy.

Some enjoy the commercials! Real fans enjoy the game! Everyone looks forward to the halftime show performances! Click the link below to test your knowledge about past Super Bowl Halftime show performances.
Kyrie, KD, & Russ are all on the move! While Kyrie showed up and showed out in his
debut with the Mavs last night, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant got ready to pack their bags to head to new homes!
Westbrook will be joining Utah Jazz. After coming off the bench most of the season, how will Russ adjust to once again being a cornerstone and major star for a team?
KD will be taking his talents to the desert. Is he the missing piece of the puzzle for the Phoenix Suns? How will he fit in with Devin Booker, CP3, and DeAndre Ayton? Does this make Phoenix the new favorites in the West?

The Lakers have one of the most stacked rosters in NBA history, headlined by four future first-ballot Hall of Famers (LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis). In addition, they have a core of accomplished role players and former all-stars (Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, Avery Bradley, D J Augustine, and Malik Monk). They have five players who average double figures and LeBron is in the top three in scoring on the season. On paper, this is at the very worst a 50 win team, yet somehow, they currently sit at an abysmal 31-48. Sadly with three games remaining, they have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Who is to blame for this terrible season?
Is it LeBron? The King has dealt with some injuries this year. He has only played in 56 games and the Lakers are 25-31 in those games! I’m not a big LeBron fan, but I have to say from looking at his stats, he has played consistently well in both wins and losses. King James does however average 3.5 turnovers per game, which ranks near the top of the league (Not Good)!
Is it Anthony Davis? The brow has only appeared in 40 games and the Lakers are 17-23 with him on the floor. His averages for points, rebounds, and shooting % from the field and from deep are both better in the wins.
Is it Russ? Of the Lakers’ superstars, he has played in the most games, starting 78 this year. The Lakers are 31-47 with Russ in the lineup. He is shooting about 44% from the field and 33% from beyond the arc in both wins and losses. He surprisingly turns the ball over more in wins than he does in losses (4.3 v. 3.4). He has committed a league-leading 286 turnovers this season! Wow!
The Lakers are 11-10 when the three stars are on the floor together. Clearly, they are better together, but far from great.
Is Coach Frank Vogel to blame? He has coached every game this year. He is regarded as a solid coach, yet L.A. is 26th in points allowed, they turn the ball over more than all but two teams in the league, and they rank in the top 10 for fouls committed. That says to me that they don’t play defense, they are reckless with the ball, and they lack discipline. I know coaches don’t play, but they do develop strategy, motive, & inspire. Seems as if Vogel has not done any of these things this season!
Vogel is not solely to blame for the lackluster outing this year, neither are the Lakers stars. I say they are all at fault. Collectively the Lakers have failed to stay healthy, make adjustments, or consistently play good team basketball.

They are at it again!
I had the pleasure of enjoying the NCAA Championship Game along with my Sports Hating Family! They were in rare form. They had a lot to say, I tried hard to capture the best comments they made, but they were so plentiful that I’m sure I missed some. Take a look below and try not to laugh too hard.
Sarcastically speaking: “Did you go to Carolina or Kansas? Why do you care? Why does anyone care?”
“I wouldn’t want to be the person who has to wipe the sweat off the court.”
“Do they ring out the sweat towel or do they get a new one?”
“Basketball is the sweatiest, nastiest sport!”
“How do you watch this? It’s like a new team every two years. How do you know who anyone is?”
Regarding ticket prices: “People pay that much money to get sweated on?”
“If I sat close, I’d have to wear a raincoat for the game to shield me from all that sweat.”
Speaking of Brady Manek: “Why he look so old”
“Kansas’ “outfit” (not uniform) is boring! It’s just plain white.”
“They got on new tennis shoes, I bet their feet hurt!”
During Hubert Davis’ 1st Half interview: “Ewe he’s spitting all on her, why are they so close, don’t they know Covid isn’t over???”
“What happens if they win? Is there any academic benefit?”
“Sports are so stupid”
“What is a Jayhawk?”
“Why am I up this late, I don’t care about basketball.”
“I’m tried of being material for your blog” …In her best Will Smith voice, “Keep my name out yo’ blog!”
Text from wife the next morning while I’m driving to work… “So, who won the game?”
The Tarheels have done what I knew they could, but what many thought they wouldn’t! They sent Coach K out with an “L” and in the process punched their ticket to the National Championship Game! Shout out to Caleb Love, Armando Bacot, RJ Davis, and Brady Manek! On Monday night, tune in as the Heels go after title #7! This was a truly great game! It featured a ton of lead changes, big shots, and exciting defensive moments (“cough, cough” Brady Manek blocking shots). Props to Coach K though in all seriousness. He is a legend and has meant a lot to the sport, his school, and the state of North Carolina! How do you feel about the end of Coach K’s storied career? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
For an unprecedented 21st time, the UNC Tarheels are Final Four bound!!!
The Heels will be vying for their 7th NCAA title at this year’s Final Four in New Orleans. As a third-generation Tarheel fan, I have to say that I am elated, ecstatic, excited, and a whole bunch of other happy words (lol)!!! How appropriate it is that the Heels will face off against their biggest rival, the Duke Blue Devils, with a chance to deal Coach K a loss in his final game as Duke Head Coach!
