At The Finish Line…Where Only the Truth Matters

•    I’m going to start with this cause I know how some of you Langley grads . . . Kevin Parker . . . have to start off slow and catch up!  (What?)  If you insist on going to the Jill Scott concert instead of coming to the City League Old School Par-Tay with the legend Sly Jock, come join the party when Jill Scott is done doing what she do.  Our Old School Par-Tay will still be poppin at the fabulous Blue Line Grille Uptown, Monday, July 13th.  Proceeds benefit the Pittsburgh City League Hall of Fame Inductions.  Call (412) 628-4856 for info.
•    Just checkin, you still reading Bax!  Holler.
•    The Cincinnati Reds have Gerrit Cole’s number and I don’t mean his cell number. Sometimes it just goes that way.  The important thing now is to forget the damage you caused in the first inning of game two and take the third game and the series.
•    It seems real simple to me.  Anyone driving around with a confederate flag just doesn’t like Black folks.  Think it’s just me?  What’s the chance anyone in possession of a German swastika flag ain’t that fond of Jews!
•    Karl-Anthony Towns will go to the Timberwolves first and Jahill Okafor will go to my Lakers second.  And that my friend, you can take to the bank.  Talk to me now Mike Booker.  It’s a new day in L.A. hoo-ray!!!
•    Virginia beat Vanderbilt to win the college baseball world series.  As if you care.
•    Tom Brady stated his case and Roger Goodell will decide, but you and I both know that Tom Terrific will come out smelling like a rose.  Goodell is damned if he do and damned if he don’t.
•    The Pittsburgh Steelers will honor the great Jerome Bettis on October 1st before the Baltimore Ravens game at Heinz Field.  Like Joe Greene before him, Bettis chose the Raven’s game because of the intense rivalry.  Heck, I’m still trying to figure out how Bettis didn’t go in on his first eligibility.
•    Terrelle Pryor was picked up by the Cleveland Browns and I for one am happy for him.  Terrelle, you keep chasing your dream to be an NFL quarterback.  Don’t listen to the haters and nay-sayers.  Nobody knows your potential better than you.  “Greatness Awaits You.”
•    Kevin Love, you’re about to find out how good you had it in Minnesota.  We heard through the grapevine that Bron-Bron and the boys don’t want ya back.  While you’re planning to opt-out of Cleveland, King James is trying to put you out.  “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!”
