Can Floyd Mayweather Jr. Read?
One of the ongoing jabs against the pound-for-pound undisputed greatest boxer (sorry, Vasyl Lomachenko) Floyd Mayweather Jr. is that while he’s a multimillionaire with several exotic women at his side, he has trouble reading big words aloud. Like “Worcestershire” and “mischievous.” I believe that the Mayweather rumor got started around the time that Mayweather was…

We Need to Talk About Sammy Sosa’s Face
Former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa did an interview recently, and I don’t think anyone heard a word he said because Sosa now looks like a chewed eraser. I don’t know what happened to him or who hurt Sosa, but the onetime Cubs great—minus the steroid-use allegations that followed him through the end of his…

Jason Whitlock Says Protesting Racial Injustice Is ‘Stupid’
The bulging, over-full colostomy bag who somehow maintains his rotund, deflated kickball-shaped figure despite participating in the daily yoga routine of perpetually contorting himself to always end up on white America’s side of any issue while criticizing and castigating anything or anyone remotely connected to blackness has opened his bile-spewing mouth again. Or—as some people…

Wait, Did Floyd Mayweather Jr. Just Get Out-Mayweathered by Conor McGregor?
The Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor spectacle officially began Tuesday as the two fighters kicked off their four-stop tour in Los Angeles to promote Mayweather’s Aug. 26 brutal assault of the MMA fighter. Unless the fighting contract requires Mayweather to box McGregor with one arm tied to his foot, this will not be an even remotely entertaining…

James Harden, the bearded dynamo guard for the Houston Rockets, signed a four-year extension with his team Saturday that will earn him a total of $228 million over the next six years.

The Real Reason Floyd Mayweather Is Fighting Conor McGregor
Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. is rich. Superrich. He’s also really shallow and vapid. As such, he has 100 girlfriends and almost as many cars. It’s hard to keep up with the reported $700 million he’s made during his fight career, but at one point, Mayweather was burning $100 bills in the club. Well, it turns…

Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers: Are a Man’s Pride and a Father’s Love Ruining a Basketball Franchise?
Let me preface all of this by saying that I am a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan. The Clippers will always be the JV squad in this city, and everyone knows it. It doesn’t matter how close they get to winning a championship or how bad a season the Lakers are having—this city rides for…

How Much Do Black Folks Owe Colin Kaepernick?
Colin Kaepernick went from cornrowed, flashy-footed quarterback to full-on Afroed protester in one season. One minute he was the hot boy who women were fawning over, then he sat down during the national anthem and became the hot boy with a mind and a blowout that would make the most righteous 1960s revolutionary jealous. And…

He might not be Michael Jordan, or even LeBron James, but Steph Curry has just agreed to what amounts to the richest deal in NBA history. The five-year deal with the Golden State Warriors is worth $201 million with no options, as confirmed by Curry’s agent Jeff Austin of Octagon. USA Today reports that Curry…

Serena Williams Beats Everyone On The Court, But Just Can't Win With White People And Black Men
I want to say that the first time that I heard Serena Williams called a man was middle school. I can’t say that with absolute certainty as middle school is generally universally awful and grades six through eight are a haze of mob mentality and chocolate milk but nonetheless, it wasn’t until my teen years…
