Live Footage From ‘United We Stand: Rally for Colin Kaepernick’ (Video)
August 25, 2017
When does a protest gesture become a movement? When others get involved. Rosa Parks took a stand by refusing to stand and go to the back of the bus, then boycott, then movement. Kaep took a stand by taking a knew because he felt he could no longer stand our American nightmare (injustice, police brutality) that is our current situation. You have no doubt heard talk about boycotting the NFL. Do we now have a movement?
Time will tell. But for right now, we do have a rally. Check it out.
We’re live at the NFL headquarters in NYC as demonstrators rally in support of unsigned quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

If you saw this, you immediately said or thought: “Okay, BeastMode. Gotcha.” And really understood what he was saying (well enough to ‘translate’ for anyone who did not ‘get it’ right away). Stuff like this is why the press always presses Marshawn Lynch to say something…ANYTHING.

Nate Robinson: Is A Pro Football Career A Slam Dunk For The Former NBA All-Star? (Video)
March 18, 2016
You’ve watched sports contests on the tube, and from time to time likely thought, “Look at the big man. He could bowl ’em over on the field as easily as he bangs down low to the bucket,” or… “Dude can move! Even at his size, he’s dunking over the crossbar AFTER leaving everybody 20 yards behind!”
Let’s call them crossover [football or basketball] ballers. Now, who among the retired greats of one sport do you think could come back and do the damn thang in the other? Quickly… times up! How about Nate Robinson? Is anybody thinking Nate Robinson can do it? Well, Nate is…and he could give a damn whether you agree or not.
Nate Robinson, the three time Slam Dunk champion and one of the most dynamic athletes in NBA history is considering a run at the NFL. Friends (Jamal Crawford, Glen Davis), former coaches (Rick Neuheisel), and NFLers (Marcedes Lewis, Brendon Ayanbadejo) think Nate has what it takes. Do you?
Could Nate be that next-level crossover baller? Looks like we are about to find out!

Donovan McNabb Speaks On Terrell Owens, Cam Newton And More (Video)
February 20, 2016
Well. If ANYBODY can speak on it, former Philly football beast QB Donovan McNabb can. And he’s talking to Tiki and Tierney on CBS Radio. Plainly spoken, straightforward, honest, real. What T.O.’s former teammate has to say about him may or may not sit well, but you can tell he’s speaking his truth… about Owens, Cam Superman, his own time in the League… so much.
(Interesting take on Cam and that Super Bowl fumble.)

Actually… Jerry’s disguise is pretty solid. He can go shopping low-key. Still hilariously wonderful though.
See what happens when Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice turns on Driver Mode for a day and takes a few unsuspecting Lyft passengers for a ride around town.
Watch the whole song and dance above.

60 Minutes: Football And The Brain (Video)
November 28, 2015
Well… with Frank Gifford’s post mortem diagnosis of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), we get yet another headline and reminder that football – like it or love it – is a dangerous COLLISION sport wrought with injuries…when playing and for the decades beyond. Try and try as American football’s flagship (the National Football League) might, no one has been able to reengineer injury out of the game. Look no further than comments from the NFL commish Roger Goodell in the 60 Minutes clip (embedded after the jump, or click the pic above) for a dose of football-injury reality.
Steve Kroft: You think the game is safer than it’s ever been before?
Roger Goodell: I do. I’m convinced of it. I think the changes that we’ve made have had real results. And we’re seeing that.
Steve Kroft: But do you believe it’s safe?
Roger Goodell: I do believe it’s safer. But injuries are part of active sports and they’re certainly part of football. Football is a contact sport.
Or you could boil it down to retired Ravens’ linebacker Ed Reed’s response…
Steve Kroft: Can you take the violence out of football?
Ed Reed: No.
Truly engaging treatment of the the topic in “Football And The Brain” on CBS News’ 60 Minutes.

Marshawn Lynch’s ‘Skittles’ Super Bowl Press Conference (Video)
January 29, 2015
Marshawn Lynch gives an exclusive Skittles press conference to discuss the most pressing issues in football.
Leave the brother alone, won’t you? Just trying to ‘not get fined’ – showing up and saying as little as possible – but noooo… they keep inviting (read: forcing) him to go to press conference after press conference. Here’s another… supposedly assembled to discuss football topics… but…

October 18, 2012
50 Cent took over at the Fox NFL Sunday Pre-Game show. Dopenesss! He uploaded the video, too, in case y’all missed it. See?
https://twitter.com/50cent/status/258776330089414656
“You’re only as relevant as your record!” Damn right, 50. And he’s been putting out some heaters recently, by the way. So, 50’s taking some well-deserved time off to play around at Fox… or is he. Nah! Dude is staying relevant…maybe even “auditioning” for a spot on the network. Might be having fun, but it’s not a game. A’ight then, 50.
