Do you really hate the sight of a black woman's name this much?

Good morning Opel.

Thank you for another inaccurate observation and judgment on who I am and what I’m about.

Go back to bed.

If you want today to be a day of peace or another chit show, the keys are in your hand.

Kind of want to experience one. But not a bad one.

It has to do with an event in the Belgian Congo in 1962.

Speaking of toner, it's Arthur Ashe's birthday tomorrow but I figured I'd mention it today in case anyone wants to buy a card or plan a celebration.

Arthur Robert Ashe Jr. (July 10, 1943 – February 6, 1993) was an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam singles titles. He was the first black player selected to the United States Davis Cup team and the only black man ever to win the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open. He retired in 1980. He was ranked world No. 1 by Harry Hopman in 1968 and by Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph and World Tennis Magazine in 1975.[2][4] In the ATP computer rankings, he peaked at No. 2 in May 1976.[5]

Is Althea Gibson related to Bob Gibson ? Hopefully not construed as a nominal racist commentary.

Back in the day my two favorite AFC teams were the Chargers and the Oilers. Who doesn't like Earl Campbell with the tear away jerseys. I had an action figure of Earl Campbell when I was a kid. He had speed, agility and wrecking ball power.



In my opinion, he's right up there with Barry Sanders and Walter Payton as the mostest funnest RB's to watch in their era. Problem with Sanders and Payton is my Packers had to face them at least twice a year which was painful for my home team.

Saw Earl Campbell and his entourage at a gas station near the gas station. Talked to him for a few minutes. Dude could hardly walk. I got to my car and ran it through the car wash in the time it took him to walk from the front door to his car. Sad. I hope it was an acute thing that got fixed rather than a chronic thing.

Heading out to my buddy Jeff's place at the beach. Less than an hour drive. Swim and walk on the beach. Back before 5pm, in time to start the weekend off with my wife!

Can we name the next one ( 8's 500 rants)? It would be kinda cool to see someone do an entire 500 by themselves.

It is a chronic think for him. Saw a documentary on him. Think somewhere in the espn monolith of programming probably 10 years ago. He’s one big ball of arthritis, inflammation and pain. Too high a price to pay, but he sure did entertain.
