Wednesday, July 28th, 2010A life is generally accepted as being priceless. There is no value that can be attributed to it. That’s the concept. The reality is quite different. When it comes to the life of a young Black male, especially when police are involved in removing that life, a value is often determined. Often it is several [...]
Movie Review: Predators
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010When a movie franchise hits the 3rd film in a series you can never be sure what you will get. Some franchises get better with time, like James Bond.

For those that read my half-time comments, you will note that I got the score, the number of players, and the order in which it would all happen correct. The only thing I failed to predict was that it would happen in overtime. The thing that really [...]
World Cup Final: Spain vs Netherlands – half
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Well there isn’t much to say about the match so far. Spain has dominated possession, but the Netherlands have had a couple of good counter-attacks. Passing for each team has been decent in the backfield, but a bit sloppy in the midfield. In all of that, the match has been less than exciting. Both teams [...]
