Professional Speak On Athletes Coming Into Money & How Much (Or Little) Their Leagues Look Out For Them [Video]
November 20, 2019
I went from a dorm room… a dorm room… to a million-dollar house, and did not understand it, but had to act like I knew what I was doing every day…
Real, REAL talk about money & wealth here; the comings and [unfortunately] goings of it. The NFL’s responsibility to make sure retirees aren’t broke? Interesting. Who wouldn’t be in favor of, at least, the idea of the athletes not being broke after years of playing a game that leaves their bodies broken.
Tommie Harris, Clinton Portis and Jack Brewer discuss the money they made in the NFL with financial expert Michael Bapis.
– The Players’ Tribune
And the revelations that come from this discussion… DEEP! Great clip.

Sports: NBA To Crack Down On Verbally Abusive Fans (Video)
October 30, 2019
Okay. I’m for this. I mean, I would hear the old argument, “That’s what they get paid millions for… to put up with fans’ outbursts.” But I was ALSO a proponent of once your mouth ‘writes that check’ that 6’7″ brother you slurred should get to ‘cash you out court side’ (fines issued on a case-by-case basis, of course). I mean, hey, ALL speech is free… but no one is free from the consequences (just saying).
Nowadays, though, why don’t we just mandate some decorum on both sides. If you don’t think your seat was worth what you paid for it, don’t feel like you can “get your money’s worth” with hateful heckling. Nah, son. That day is done.
I especially like that even a ‘borrowed’ season ticket seat can be lost if the borrower acts out of pocket.
Only potentials issue I see: No ‘instant replay’ in the stands. A lifelong fan losing that season ticket seat for a ‘misheard statement’… well, taking that L would hurt a fan working for $50K a year way more than that athlete who earned $5MIL last year.
Let’s see how this plays out. Let those players play in [relative] peace from now on.

Combat Sports And Hip Journalist Ismael AbduSalaam Speaks On ‘Beats, Boxing & Mayhem’ On Odell’s Roundtable (Video)
June 4, 2019
Aha! My dudes! A no-brainer that I had not thought of… until Odell put it together here. Why not have @ArtByOdell and BeatsBoxingMayhem’s Ismael AbduSalaam just start talking and record the jewels! Yeah. And how much content are we talking here? Enough such that we had to post the two-parter. Start above, and continue after the jump.
Ismael AbduSalaam is a well respected journalist who covers Music & Boxing primarily. He joined me on the Roundtable where we talked how he got into covering Boxing & working with great sites like AllHipHop.com before creating his own site BeatsBoxingMayhem.com. I also shared with him how I almost got into a fight at a Camp Lo concert he was covering for AllHipHop.com which if it happened might have changed the chance of us ever meeting.
– ArtByOdell
WHAT??! Somebody disrespected Odell and his lady?? Why do I still feel a way about that? Like I need to pick up something blunt and get my bro’s back on that… But it’s over. It’s just that Odell is such a chill dude. Anybody starting sh!t with him gets me heated. Wooosah!

Sports: Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale Ends With A First Round Knockout! (Video)
May 20, 2019
Sometimes you gotta just let them hands do the talking. However, in boxing, commentary helps make the moment. I have longtime ties to Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide) Alabama, so I was hollering BOOOOMMMB SQUAAAAD with the hometown hero Wilder. But when Breazeale caught that Thor’s Hammer to the jaw… It was the commentator’s WOWWW that got me.
Makes me keep playing this clip on repeat.
WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber†Wilder delivered the 40th knockout of his career in devastating fashion, sending mandatory challenger Dominic “Trouble†Breazeale flat on his back with a trademark right hand in front of a raucous crowd at Barclays Center.

LeBron James & Lonzo Ball Speak Their Minds On Magic Johnson’s Departure From The Lakers Organization (Video)
May 9, 2019
Enjoy catching ‘The Shop: Uninterrupted’ on HBO when time allows. Good chit-chat based on the barbershop paradigm. Nothing off limits. Of course, LeBron and Lonzo are certainly too smart to risk multi-million dollar paychecks with controversial public reactions, but they are pretty candid in the clip above where they discuss how they found out about Magic Johnson leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lebron came to the Lakers after talking with Magic. Think he might find a way to walk away now that Magic is? Well, hit the jump.
