GURU Talkin Sports

On this Veteran's Day weekend we had a lot of things going on. First off, a special shout out to all our Veteran's serving over the world and we will continue to pray for your safety. On November 7th, a very special series came out on Paramount Plus. "De La Calle" is translated From the street, this documentary show the influence and the contribution of the Latin world to HIP-HOP. In this year, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of HIP-HOP, we wanted to share the story of the first rapper that change the face of HIP-HOP forever. Our friend Danny Rivera aka Mr. Schick, is the first person to have rapped in Spanish on a record. He is known as the Neil Armstrong of HIP-HOP! We spoke with Mr. Schick on EPISODE 51 of this podcast, and he was amazing. I was honored and nervous as hell when I spoke to this living legend.
We will always acknowledge greatness. Thank you Mr. Schick! You can always hear this podcast on all platforms where podcasts exist, we are everywhere. Thanks for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will be back next week with Episode 194 of the GURU TALKIN SPORTS podcast.

Thanks for listening and joining me on this special episode. This weekend we celebrate the GURU's big day on Sunday. But this past Wednesday we lost another legendary college basketball coach, Bobby Knight. Knight passed away at 83, and when he retired from the game, he was the all time leader in wins with 902. His three championships will always be remembered with his undefeated season in 1976, led by his point guard and HOF'er, Isiah Thomas. I will always remember him not for all of the antics, but for being the greatest teacher and having the undisputed knowledge of the game of basketball. RIP Coach Knight. We also talked about the way the college football playoffs are shaping up and the impact of the first CFP poll. The GURU was RIGHT AGAIN! The NBA in season tournament? Wimby fever, the top five in both the NFL and the NCAA. The Breeders Cup Champ and remembering Walter Davis all in this one. Thanks again for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will see you back here next weekend with Episode 193. Take care, the GURU will see you real soon.

This episode isn't sports related. It's been 40 years since we lost 241 servicemen in Beirut Lebanon. On October 23, 1983 around 6am, one of the most tragic event in America's history took place. The Beirut tragedy is still memorable and unexplained to this day. As for me, I lost a cousin and a shipmate on that day. Just like 911, let us never forget the our fallen Marines and Sailors that came in peace, and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The baseball playoffs ARE SCREWED UP! HOW IN THE HELL ALL THREE 100 WINS TEAMS ARE ELIMINATING!!! Get off your butt Manfred and fix this injustice.
