Is Israel Behind the Genocide in Darfur?
According to Haeretz, at least one international leader believes this to be the case. Read on: “Why do we have to hold President Bashir or the Sudanese government responsible when the Darfur problem was caused by outside parties, and Tel Aviv [Israel], for example, is behind the Darfur crisis?” Gaddafi suggested without presenting any evidence … Continue reading
Rich Black Folk and Cultural Suicide (1932)
On the question of Leo Frobenius and the African Legacy: “To the best of my knowledge there is nothing more odious in the eye of the ang-sax eddikater than a man or book showing unusual perceptive aptitude, and nothing for which it is more difficult to find a place in our stultified and stultifying system. … Continue reading
Arizona Goes “Steelers West”
Cornerback Bryant McFadden signed a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals this week. The indications out of Pittsburgh were that, for all his talents, the team was not willing to pay market value. McFadden did what was best for him. From Impaler to Teammate in 2 Short Months

A word to the new man on the block: Never let ‘em catch you like this — if and when you roll to the Motherland. Bush in Africa — And Hating It. Simply moronic!
Congratulations to the Cleveland State Vikings
One of the most difficult things in sports is to defeat a rival three times in a single season. Last night, the Cleveland State Vikings, led by coach Gary Waters, showed resilience and grit in beating Butler for the Horizon League championship, 57-54.

Terrell Owens: The Head and Soul Speak Out
Last season, the Dallas Cowboys finished 9-7 and failed to make the playoffs. Two years ago, the Cowboys finished the regular season at 13-3 and were heavy favorites to march to the Super Bowl and face the New England Patriots. As fate (or the Giants front four, take your pick) would have it, neither the … Continue reading
Terrell Owens: Village Scapegoat – Part II, The Links

Terrell Owens: Village Idiot or Village Scapegoat?
On this one, I’m going with scapegoat. Here’s why: He was not the principal cause of the Cowboys demise last season. He and the media have the sort of relationship that makes it difficult to discern where the problems really lie with the Cowboys. For me, it’s fairly simple. When the Cowboys lost last season…
Clinton Portis: Where Does He Rank?
I have a friend (one who may very well comment on this thread) who simply does not like Clinton Portis as a running back. Part of me can understand that, but I believe he is missing the big picture. On another blog, someone else generated a number of valid reasons for expressing a similar disdain … Continue reading
