:10 I have never, never, never – ever started off with a movie review, but lord knows this is worth it. For all you real old school cats, I mean Cisco Kid, The Rifleman, Cheyenne and Wyatt Earp old school cats. Do – Not – Go – See – The – Lone – Ranger! It is immediately one of the top ten worst movies of all time. I am talking TERR – I – BLE. Clayton Moore and the real Tonto are not just turning over in their graves, they’re thinking about making a comeback. Trust me. They could do no worse dead or alive. I give it no basketballs . . . matter of fact, I give it minus 5 basketballs!!!
COURIER SPORTS COLUMNISTS BILL NEAL & AUBREY BRUCE
:09 I don’t say this as much as I should, but I’ll tell ya again. My partner in sports Aubrey Bruce sure can write. I mean, he’s good. Me, I get lucky every now and then. But “Bruce” man he’s got skills. (Just look over to your left you knucklehead).

The Lakers will rise again. “Don’t nobody give us our guns and tell us to ride!”

:07 People come on. Be serious. You don’t expect the Pirates to win every game do ya? And they will slide a little. But the objective is to make the playoffs. Winning the Division is icing on the cake. Finishing the season with the best record in baseball is the cake!
SETH JONES (AP File Photo)
:06 Seth Jones, the son of former NBA star “Popeye” Jones, was selected the #4 overall player in the NHL draft, making him the first Black to go in the top five. And now for me and the other ka-zillion Brothas out there that’s all you know about hockey . . . oh shut-up. It is so. You didn’t even know he was on the planet.
:05 If you wanna put a stop to NFL players being arrested, just put in the One Time you’re arrested and you’re out of the league rule and watch the numbers come down. This stuff is not complicated people. Set the rules and follow them. That’s all.
