:10—Of course she gets top billing. Anytime a “13 year old girl” is mowing down boys her age and older like a John Deere tractor, she gets all my attention. Mo’ne Davis is throwing heat and captivating the nation as she leads her Taney Youth Baseball Association to the promise land of the Little League World Series. Now that’s what I call a…“You Go Girl” if ever I’ve seen it!
:09—Speaking of the Little League World Series, and I was, for the first time in 30 years there’s going to be an all-Black team in the mix. The Jackie Robinson West Little League team out of Chicago is on board. More news like that out of Chicago and less news about Blacks killing Blacks is the championship I want.
:08—No, seriously, what about O.J.? What is wrong with you people?
:07—You know I know my movies…I can tell you that there are two movies where a bunch of folks get killed. No. 1—“The Wild Bunch”, a cowboy flick starring William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and an all-star cast. (Please rent it). No. 2—You all know that “Scar Face”, aka Al Pacino, took a lot of non-believers with him to cocaine heaven. (I know you already own it). Well here’s all you need to know about “The Expendables 3.” They kill more bad guys than the Wild Bunch, Scar Face and the next three contenders put together. Fellas, take the lady if she’s got the stomach for it, but either way, go see Sly Stallone, Arnold, Wesley Snipes (who had the best one-liner in the movie) and a super star all-star cast. They – Blow – It – Up!!! I give it four basketballs easy and can’t wait for Expendables 4.
:06—I told you the Steelers ring in with an 11-5 record and now that you see the new set of young guns joining Antonio Brown, Big Ben set to run the no-huddle and new linebackers who can actually tackle, it’s on…like popcorn!
:05—I told each and every one of you two months ago that the Pirates can’t win without great pitching. Hell, for that matter, no team can. But, be assured without two serious closers…I mean sure ’nuff killers, all we’re doing is running the bases.
:04—In case you haven’t heard, Monty Meza Clay is still the Tasmanian Devil he’s always been. Now with a 36-3-0 record, the Rankin native has taken another step in his glorious career, joining forces with the great “Iron Mike” Tyson and taking care of business like he did with Alan Herrera of Sinaloa, Mexico. Monty Meza Clay is on the road to greatness once again.
:03—Attention…Attention…Attention…this call goes out to any and every Lincoln Park community member then, now and forever. There will be a Come-One, Come-All Reunion, Saturday, Aug. 30 at “our” Lincoln Park School. (Yep, it’s still standing just like we left it.)

:01—I don’t know why I have to keep telling you this stuff, but I guess someone has to do it. Stop acting like you didn’t get busy on both sides of the “Isley Brothers” LPs back in the day…ya’ll know. Pull out the CDs…greatest hits and I’m talking multiple CDs and get busy again, on both sides. Ya’ll know!
:00—DOUBLE OVERTIME–Be advised football season is here. Get ready to get ready. Let’s support all of our local teams, especially middle school, high school and our local colleges, including Pitt, Penn State and WVU. And let’s really support and take care of all the midget league teams.
