Christmas Day is my birthday.  I'm not at all a fan.  My wife gets upset that I am not excited about my birthday.  But honestly, she doesn't understand what it's like because...her birthday is not on Christmas.  Christmas is the only day of the year that you have to buy presents for everybody else on your birthday.  Listen in to the rest of the show to understand why Christmas birthdays are wickety wickety wack...  

Today we discuss Deion taking the Head Coaching job at Colorado and leaving Jackson State.  I was really hopeful that he would stay at least a little longer, but...that's how it works in big time college sports.

In this episode, I'm touching on Stephen A. Smith, Jerry Jones, Jimmy the Greek and the impact of race on sports.  Tune in...  

Family, please be careful out there.  This "Omarion" variant is creeping up.  This all seems like deja vu. I know we're pandemic weary, but don't get caught slipping.  Tune in and hear my cousin's story of how she became a statistic...

Two days into his re-election year, Trump - who rails against Middle Eastern entanglements - has plunged the United States into yet another one, with vast and unknown consequences.  By killing Qasem Soleimani, Trump has committed the United States to a risky open conflict that at best could stop short of all-out war with Iran.  And at the least, likely eliminates possibly for a generation, any hope that the United States and Iran can settle their differences through diplomacy.  The question now is whether Trump - an erratic, inexperienced leader who abhors advice and rarely thinks more than one step ahead - is equipped to handle such a perilous crisis.  Until then, Trump is playing with fire in the Middle East...
