:08—Four years ago, LeBron James said that out of respect, no one should wear #23 in honor of Michael Jordan. Hey LeBron, I agree with ya. Don’t do it. After all, Jordan is the second greatest player of all time…Wilt Chamberlain man!!!
:07—You need to know going in this is not your grandfather’s Pittsburgh Steelers team. Lots of new faces and lots of new expectations. I still say it’s a 11-5 season.
:06—The new James Brown flick “Get On Up” is all that and extra butter on your popcorn. 4 basketballs. Go see it!
:05—Okay, you baseball purists…aka Kevin Cameron…want to keep Pedro Alvarez around to hit home runs. No. 1 – he ain’t doing much of that and #2 – they got high school kids that make the throw from third to first with no problem. C’mon man!
:04—Speaking of the Steelers, and I was, yes, Ike Taylor has every right to not want a pay cut. You wouldn’t take one without a fuss, not to mention the Rooney’s got a ka-zillion dollars.
:03—Now that we, I mean The Lakers, have a new coach and Kobe’s healed up, let’s get back to playing Lakers ball. Coach Byron Scott was a 3-time champion with The Lakers. He’ll get it right.
:02—Hey, football season is upon us. Let’s get ready to support and participate with all the youth and high school programs in a peaceful way.
:01—I want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to a dear, wonderful woman and great friend, Oliva Jones, one of the best people ever. A lifetime YMCA lady and a true community spirit. God Bless You “Ms. O.” and may God Bless and keep your wonderful family.
