The woman-cursing-the-Braves-over-Fulton County thing, trust me, ain't got jack on the Louisiana Superdome allegedly built atop an Indian burial ground curse...and we all know the N.O. Saints' history after moving into that building...Heck, at least the Braves won a playoff series, yet alone a world title...The Saints can't even close out a season to make the playoffs..(I'm no Saints fan, but i root for the home team) BTW, Vince McMahon buying a baseball team shouldn't be too far fetched. With the roids issue in baseball now, who better to get a renegade team of 'roided-up, DDT'ing athletes than Vinny Mac himself. And on a side note, David Duke has no more credibility with his good ol white folks after bilking them for millions of dollars...i think he just got out of jail, where he probably learned something about race relations (my bet: once you go black, you never go back) Granted, me being from south (souf in local hood dialect) Louisiana, I should know a thing or two about curses..

Of course the Braves have a title (lonely though it may be), so her curse must not be too strong.

The one world series win was just to make sure Braves fans didn't lose all hope, and that remain victims to the worst kind of you-know-what tease (keepin' it clean here). The baseball gods simply cannot allow a team owned by Ted Turner to have any real glory. If they did, Vince McMahon might try to buy a team, and Lord knows none of us needs to see that.

And every now and then, a little cursing is parsimonious. Why say with eight letter that which you can say with four? But just in case the nephew is smart enough to read this, I'll keep this in mind.

Cursing is used for shock value or because a person lacks a sufficient vocabulary. I know you do not lack the vocabulary. I agree with Dr. Jones.

Braves fan I loved and hated your article. You told our story more accurately than I've ever seen in print. I must admit that I had given up on the Braves chances of winning the division during this past offseason, there was no way we could lose that much offense and the Phillies gain that much offense and we still win the division, but lo and behold, we are still on top (for now). We're doing it with smoke and mirrors and it amazes me that people still don't want to give Bobby Cox his props! At any rate, the GOP has given up on being covert about their disrespect for Black dems at this point it seems, by running Keyes straight up against Obama. They would have been better off running David Duke. I am looking forward to reading your column on Africana. Take care! Well as a long time (Rafeal Ramirez and Ozzie Virgil and Rick Camp long!)
