Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is are the Eagles, who were up 17 points in the 4th quarter and go down in overtime. Also taking an ‘L’ is my vow not to get all upset about them dudes. See this is why I root for Pittsburgh and any other team I think of [...]
Ain’t Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) is probably one of the more important songs in my life, in the sense that it’s been around for a long time, and at very different stages. I was first aware of the song back in the 70′s when it came out. I was very [...]
Every once in a while, something comes along that just flat-out surprises me. This most recent surprise comes courtesy of the fact that there seem to be a whole lot of people who think Eli Whitney was Black. Frankly, I don’t understand how anybody could have that misconception. Or maybe put a little milder, I [...]

Black America Web reports some early findings on a study done by Thomas Dee, an economics professor at Swarthmore, that seem to suggest that the gender of the teacher can have some influence on the performance of the student. At first glance, this makes sense. Not necessarily a whole, whole lot of sense, as in [...]
I’ve been planning to go to some NFL city other than Philadelphia (or any other city in the NFC East) and act like I’m a fan of their team for quite some time, now. On Columbus Day weekend, I actually plan to do it. My original idea was to do the AFC West, but we [...]
