Sports Forum / Titans announce firings of several coaches EXCEPT head coach

« on: January 09, 2023, 06:44:58 PM »

…….so the Titans finished the season with SEVEN CONSECUTIVE LOSSES. Their season record was 7-10. Around midseason, the boss lady fired the general manager, said dude f’ed up when he mismanaged high draft choices.

Today, head coach Mike Vrabel announced the firing of the OC, the O-line coach, and a couple of other offensive coaches.

So let me see if I’ve got this straight. The Titans finished horribly, but it’s EVERYONE else’s fault EXCEPT the head coach, Mike Vrabel……REALLY?

Sports Forum / Quay Walker of the Lions shoves medical staffer

« on: January 09, 2023, 02:02:55 PM »

……I’m sure many of y’all have already heard about this. This clown on the Packers roster shoves a member of the medical staff while the meds were attending a Detroit Lions player who had gone down. Then some other fool from the Packers roster kinda intentionally bumps the same medical staffer. After ALL the national trauma we’ve endured damn near watching Lamar Hamlin almost DIE during the game last Monday nite, these fools do some stupid shyt like that.

Are these nuccas retarded or WHAT? My God………

« on: January 02, 2023, 04:56:25 PM »

…….guys, I’m confused. I thought Robin was ALREADY married to that white woman? They been living together for a minute, and Robin has been talking about how much she credits this gal for helping her through her health challenges.

And what’s up with ABC GMA personalities and these white women? First, TJ Holmes, now Robin Roberts. Lord, have mercy.

« on: December 28, 2022, 11:21:55 AM »

 ……..ok, while you poor saps are braving snow, ice and bitter cold, Joe and Jill said F the freezing cold in Washington, DC, let’s go “chill” in the sun and beach in St. Croix, VI for the holidays.

Ok, cool, no hating’ here. But y’all remember when President and Mrs. Obama would fly to Martha’s Vineyard or Hawaii for the holidays? Mofos went APE!!  Who do these nuccas think they are? That was the tone of much of the criticism.

Oh, well, the African’s journey on American soil continues…..

Sports Forum / Power outages in Nashville - Titans game in jeopardy

« on: December 24, 2022, 10:55:14 AM »

Well, here we go. Like many areas, Nashville has experienced record cold temperatures over the last 36 hours or so. That resulted in ALL TIME power consumption in the area yesterday. Yesterday’s high in Nashville never reached double digits. 

Titans are set to kickoff 12 noon, CST today. Projected temp at kickoff is 20 degrees. Beginning yesterday morning, we’ve had rolling burnouts so the system is not completely disrupted. Power has been out, intermittently, in my neighborhood 4-5x since yesterday morning.

This may turn out to be a Christmas Eve/Christmas your humble poster may not soon forget.

« on: December 21, 2022, 10:08:22 AM »

 ………well, so much for our best and brightest black HS football players returning to our HBCU’s. This is a story about Rod Reed’s son announcing his commitment to sign at Texas A&M. He flipped from an earlier commitment to Ole Miss.  Who is Rod Reed, some may ask?  He balled for Tenn State and is Eddie George’s immediate predecessor as head coach of his alma mater. And so it goes……….

Politics / Germany ain’t messing around…this country can learn some lessons

« on: December 20, 2022, 08:32:03 AM »

Guys, take a look at this story. This woman is 96 freaking years old, in a wheelchair, but she was convicted in a German court of “accessory to murder” by assisting the commandant of a concentration camp during WW2.  Her job - a typist and stenographer!?!?!?

But you know what, the Germans don’t give a phuck. That country is still reeling from the “stigma” of the Holocaust, 77 years after the war ended. But the woman whose allegations against Emmett Till resulting in his brutal beating and lynching remains free, and can’t even get ARRESTED in Mississippi. Sorry, but this is REALLY f’ed up.

General Discussion Forum / Cher and her “boo”

« on: December 02, 2022, 02:15:52 PM »

 .........ok, so in another thread, some of y’all expressed some revulsion over the fact that Keenan Thompson from SNL, 44 yrs old, is now kicking it with this lil 19 yr old white girl who he has been describing as his “mentee”.

So here is Cher kicking it with a boy FORTY YEARS her junior.   So what do y’all have to say about THAT?

General Discussion Forum / From Scratch - Netflix series

« on: November 29, 2022, 10:55:00 AM »

 ……..guys, I am simply ASTONISHED that none of you peeps have mentioned this Netflix series, one of the most beautifully done pieces of cinema I have seen in sometime.

For those unfamiliar, the series is based on Tembi Locke’s memoir of the same title, chronicling the love story that developed between the sistah and an Italian dude when Tembi did a semester abroad stint in Florence, Italy. They eventually marry, adopt a child, and a whole lot more.

Zoe Saldana is cast in the lead role and I realize the mere mention of her name may cause some of you to immediately lose interest. Casting her as Nina Simone was beyond absurd. But this gal is the real deal in this series, actually married to an Italian in real life, and when you see her speaking the language in the series, there is no dubbing her lines, she is speaking FLUENT Italian.

This series is outstanding and on a quality you simply don’t see in cinema much these days. A trailer is below:

Politics / Open intraparty warfare in MAGGAT Senate caucus

« on: November 16, 2022, 01:46:14 PM »

Guys…….take a look at this article. These mofos in the GOP Senate caucus are going at each other. Dey mad as a mofo they didn’t flip the senate as many thought they would and should, so now the long knives are being drawn.  This is STRAIGHTUP GOP cannibalism. Mr. Lincoln may not be proud, but their civil war will save the republic.

General Discussion Forum / Music to soothe the troubled soul

« on: November 16, 2022, 11:33:51 AM »

Guys…….was surfing through YouTube trying to find something else and came across this. This is one of my favorite spiritual songs. But, Lord, have mercy, few versions have moved a brutha as much as this did.  Had to take a moment to compose myself after listening to this.

Glory to God!

Politics / Catherine Cortez Masto wins senate in Nevada!!

« on: November 12, 2022, 09:58:24 PM »

 ………it’s now official, the Dems just got the 50th senator elected to maintain their majority in that body. So what does this mean for that RACIST runoff election in Georgia, one might ask? Well, we need our Georgia peeps to show up and show out so we’ll at least have a little cushion when Joe Manchin starts his bullshyt.

C’mon, Georgia, you did it once, you can do it again.

Politics / CU….get in here boss, Fetterman/Oz Debate

« on: October 26, 2022, 06:26:35 AM »

 ……….ok, so last nite in Harrisburg, PA, was the only senate debate between John Fetterman and Dr. Oz. Your humble poster did not see the debate, but have seen vid clips and read reports and it appears it wasn’t a good nite for the Dem, Lt. Gov. Fetterman.  It’s trench warfare for control of the US senate, and the Dems NEED this pickup.

Wanna know what other peeps think, especially my man, CU, who is (was?) based in Harrisburg.

General Discussion Forum / Vanessa Williams in concert!

« on: October 22, 2022, 12:03:45 PM »

So one of the iconic entertainers of our time is performing in Nashville in a three-night run with the Nashville Symphony. Tonite is the last nite of the run, I went last nite.

I’ve always been a big fan. Was actually watching the Miss America pageant the nite she won, 40 years ago next September she mentioned last nite. Have always loved her music; but, as with many folks who’ve been performing for decades, you question and wonder whether it’s the same sound you heard 30 years ago.

She did not disappoint. Always hailed for her stunning beauty, she is now around 60, but beautiful and classy as ever. She did a bunch of the R&B and ballads, and the voice was as crisp and fresh as ever. I was really enjoying the concert and was upbeat. But she closed out the night, fittingly, with my favorite, really a crowd favorite. And a brutha was really moved, almost reduced to tears. The singing I heard last nite is the same in this video.
