Denzel Washington Paid For Chadwick Boseman To Study At Oxford (Video)
March 5, 2018
Hey yo, King T’Challa, some dude named Denzel is outside and he says you know him… and owe him… for that tuition, sire. Haa!
Very awesome story. If paying it forward is in your nature, you end up blessing others in ways you cannot imagine. Denzel Washington has always blessed us with proper representation and performances that make us proud. Looks like he played a part in leveling up Chadwick Boseman to do that. It follows that the blessings will continue.
Chadwick Boseman reveals how he wound up studying acting at the University of Oxford thanks to Denzel Washington’s generosity and discusses the importance of the political conversations inspired by the Black Panther film.

Shooter Robert O’Neill Listened To Music From The Game Before The SEAL Team Six bin Laden Raid (Video)
March 3, 2018
Wow. Music from The Game as the ‘pre-game’ for a spec ops kill mission. Thinking that TMZ reporter might have overpromised on being able to set up that meet-up with Jayceon though.
The U.S. Navy SEAL who’s credited with firing the kill shots on Osama bin Laden says he listened to a banger the night of the raid, and we gotta say … it’s an excellent choice.
– TMZ
Oh. And we embedded that “Red Nation” vid after the jump. So. Yeah.

March 3, 2018
Ohhhhh, so that’s where the Austin 3:16 thing comes from!! And I knew about his podcast, but I need to see at least one ep of Stone Cold’s “Redneck Island” before I opine about its merits. Interesting interview with a very interesting guest. As always, Larry is the King of compelling interview content.
Steve Austin shows he’s not just Stone Cold but a good guy who enjoys the simple pleasures life has to offer. The WWE Hall of Famer reveals how he got to be the best in the biz & his choice opponent to bring him back in the ring.

So, but Steve could not see himself losing to Brock Lesnar in the ring, though? Okay, okay… no more spoilers. Watch!
