More G-Code

Business…this month on the BSN, I talk about John Chaney and what might be his final days on his job. Enjoy.

And sadly, the sports world is requiring that I continue to make clear parts of the G-Code. This time, Kobe Bryant is not the impetus of this discussion. This time, it’s Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul.

I hereby say that we either need to find the following clause on the Code, or we need to add it should it not already be there.

For a preview, what I’ve got to say is about as nice as his new album. You tell me what that means.

An evening with Savion Glover

So, Aden, LB, Luther, and I went to Dook to see Savion Glover tap dance tonight. Perhaps you’re familiar with Savion, the light-skinned brother with the dreads that can be found anywhere a tap dancer is needed (he is the only person I can name that pays his bills with the art) and starred in the brilliant Bamboozled. Maybe you’ve seen his infusion of hip hop into tap dancing and thought that going to see him would be a good idea.

I’ll just say this…good thing I didn’t pay to see him.
