The finals are a long way to go, and the season has yet to even begin. But, I see the Lakers are making some interesting moves in the offseason and look to be in for a possible run. Do you think the recent trades and signings are good enough to get them another title?

They just added Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, and Russell Westbrook. So to me, it looks like they are looking to add veteran players to make sure they win another title. What do you think?

Patrick Mahomes is a beast of a player, and has already won one super bowl. He may have lost the last one he was in, but hey, he still made it to two super bowls. Anyway, I feel like he is the best QB today, at least in terms of talent and what he has around him. You could argue that Tom Brady is still the great, and also Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson being out there. I still feel that Mahomes is the best QB the league has. What do you guys think?

Deshaun Watson, the QB for the Houston Texans has been accused by many women of sexual abuse. The Texans haven't been doing much with him as of late, as he originally wanted a trade out of there, but the allegations and current lawsuits have kind of stopped that.

What do you guys think about all of this? Do you think Watson is done in football altogether? Or will he win the many lawsuits against him? Part of me thinks the dude is for sure done in the league, and I don't think there's getting back from any of it.

There was news of him possibly being traded to the Dolphins, but I don't even know if they would take a chance on the guy with what is going on. What do you guys think?

Yes, you read right…3/4ths of million people are at risk of being evicted due to the moratorium being lifted.

Given the slow pace of rental aid disbursement, Goldman's analysts expect that between 1 million and 2 million households will remain without support and at risk of eviction when the remaining state and local eviction bans expire at the end of September.

So while the US Government is saving Afghans and setting them up with housing, they letting you get kicked out your place.

When will Americans wake up and see that this shit is a farce.

I heard about this. He is an asset to the team and this is likely going to hurt them. Some people are saying he might miss most of the season, others are hoping he will be back in 4 to 6 weeks. Either way, this has to come as a sting to the Vikings. They did sign on Chris Herndon as a fill-in for him. At least they went in with a plan.

Let’s be real Cam, is at the tail end of his career…do you think he should wrap it up now?

There are so many these days, I have a hard time picking. I seem to like at least one or two things from every spot. What do you like the most out of all of them? You can include things that aren't "fast food" in the drive-thru sense as well. Just has to be food made at convenience so things like pizza can be an option as well.

Here is a video of her crying about people chastising her. What are your thoughts?

I personally think she a skank hoe who gets the treatment she deserves. Remember when she showed her ugly fat ass at the laker game?

this new movement where people are shaming people for not accepting stank hoes like lizzo, cardi b, and Meg the stallion is done for me.

it’s ghetto snipe shit and not worthy of respect.

This is a post I made on another board:

She almost have more Grammys than Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Patti Labell, Glady Knight, Etta James and Nina Simone combined. If you remove Aretha Franklin and her 18 Grammys, the. has more than twice of all of those other ladies put together.

If you replace Aretha with Ella Fitzgerald, she would actually have more than everyone of those ladies put together.

Yet not a single classic album.

How the hell is that possible?

Edit: Alicia Keys dropped her Songs in A Minor album the same year she won songwriter of the year.

What y’all think of this? Are they out there buying Grammys? Or is she really black history?

This guy is a total douche canoe. Saying the N word and everything. My guess is he was required to wear a mask on the plane and he threw his cry baby tantrum. Like honestly, you can't wear a mask for a short period of time? I don't understand how someone can throw a fit like this over something like wearing a mask.

I'm surprised people didn't flip out when they found out the remake of wonder years would have a black family. I'm happy no one complained about it. Then again, I'm sure some people did complain, they always do.

Anyway, the trailer just came out, and it looks pretty good. Has narration from Don Cheadle, as the adult version of the main character. You going to tune in?

I am someone who likes to stay in and party, maybe with some friends, get some drinking done, hang out and game, the usual. Maybe catch some football games on Sunday as well. But I don't usually ever go to the club or to bars. With covid it has been a bit tough anyway. But my friends have been asking me to go to the club soon, and maybe meet some ladies. I don't really want to, because I never have been one for going to the club. I don't mind going to the bar every once in a while though.

No judgement if you want to go to the club or a bar. More power to ya I think. I just want to know your preferences. What do you prefer?

American history is full of racism and hate and I think often that stuff gets overlooked today. I don't know how schools teach history these days, but I found out recently when I went into college, that I didn't even know about a lot of what happened in our history. There's so much of history that kids don't know, that if they did, they would see the US being even worse.

I remember learning about a lot of horrible things the US did when I was in elementary school, but I feel like kids these days, are taught about it differently. I blame it on how people want things to be safe for their children. So I have a feeling that a lot of schools don't teach about horrible things until someone is a teen. I feel like this stuff should be taught early on, to teach them that hate is bad, and that we need to learn from the past to be better. We have come far since then, but there is a ton of work that needs to be done even today.

I think it starts with schools. They need to teach our children and their children about not just the good, but all the horrible shit the US has done to its own citizens. idk, I just feel like it's being overlooked by schools these days to make schooling more safe for kids. That's how I'm seeing it anyway. What do you think?

The robber was looking like Larry Holmes flabby and sick but he hit a nice lick $28k! I wouldnt be wearing all that shit if I was cutring, too many people coming in and out of the barbershop.

This twitter post got me thinking about what would I do if I was in a confrontation and I had to defend myself:

White dude had no idea what he was doing. He ended up being a punching bag. I've worked as a corrections officer and as nightclub security, but I'm not a fighter. I try to avoid confrontations as much as possible. (Plus I usually wear my glasses)

Where do y'all stand?

I feel like after you spend so much on quality, you are just paying for the brand or label and it seems frivolous to be throwing money away like that.

I have certain brands and qualities I look out for. I will try to find stuff on sale when I can. But like when you are buying jeans for example, the quality doesn't seem to go up after $100. So what is the point of spending more other than to flaunt the label? Maybe this is just me. Just randomly thinking about it.

I was always curious. I was actually tempted to get one done a few years ago but I am glad I decided not to because some of the bigger companies were selling off the information of people to corporations and businesses. That felt really shady to me so I haven't wanted to get one done since. Don't know who I could trust!

Have you ever gotten one? If you did, did you learn anything new about yourself?

Yes, you read that right. This was supposedly a team-up with the estate of MLK and Epic Games. So it wasn't some random thing Epic Games did, MLK's family agreed to it. What it is, is a lobby gamers in Fortnite can join. You can't shoot or do much of anything, but I am hearing you can still emote, so you can do dance moves and all that. Kind of distasteful if you can emote during it.

Here's more info on it with a preview of what you can see and do:

I think it's a cool way to educate children, and people who may have forgotten what MLK was about. If it helps kids learn, I'm all for it. I'm glad they didn't release MLK as a playable character, because I think that would be extremely messed up.

What do you guys think of this? Do you find it kind of weird? Or do you think it's a cool way to educate children about MLK?

NFTs still confuse me, but I want to learn more about this, because they do sound somewhat promising. Would you ever spend money on an NFT yourself? Or would you rather attempt to sell your own NFT?

I don't know if I have any skills to make my own NFTs, but I think if you can invest in NFTs, I may give that a shot.

And for those of you who have invested in any or have made their own, how is it?

Some bad news to share with you all. I watched the Jake Paul Vs Tyron Woodley boxing match, and I gotta say, I was sad not to see Jake Paul get knocked out. Sad news is, that Jake Paul won via split decision and I hate it. I was hoping Woodley would have rocked this dude throughout the match, and during one round he nearly did it. Hyped up Dave Chappelle who happened to be in the audience.

But, it wasn't enough, as that round was the only round he would take, with maybe one more round out of the 8 total. Hate to say it, but it was a mediocre fight. Woodley looked awkward at times, but he kept with Jake Paul the whole fight. Paul wasn't faring much better as he clearly was tired early on.

Anyway, think Tyron Woodley will be back to boxing? Or is he done here? I hope we get an actual boxer to take on Jake Paul next. Whoever faces off against the Paul brothers next, I hope they KO them.

A few years back I got into a serious fight with this one college guy. He was this annoying white dude who said some racist stuff at a party, I confronted the dude about it, but he didn't seem to care all too much. I then called him out for being racist and he blew up. We ended up getting into a little scuffle after he wouldn't shut up. Turns out, the dude was training to be an MMA fighter, so during the scuffle, he gets me in this arm bar and cranks my arm pretty good before his friends come in and pull him off. Thankfully he didn't break it, but he messed it up pretty good to where I had to get it checked out.

I would have pressed charges, but he ended up leaving before that could happen. I just said forget it, and went home. I just told the doctors some of my friends got into it and that was it.

But yeah, enough on story time, have you ever gotten into a serious fight that resulted in any injuries?

The album is named after his mother, which I can respect. I haven't listened to it in full but I did skim the tracks a bit. I am not really feeling it. I mean a few tracks sound decent but I feel like he transitioned too far away from his own style. I really enjoy his older work. Maybe this has more to do with me not liking most modern rap than his actual album or ability. Did you hear it yet? What do you think about it?

During the Olympics, Simone Biles didn't play through a lot of the Olympics. It was rumored to be her neves, or anxiety. I also heard that she wasn't able to take certain medication, as it was against the law in Japan, and due to that she was unable to compete.

Anyway, when she sat out, people went mad on the woman. I don't get it, they called her a quitter, and I think even some called her a baby. I never understood why she got so much hate. Even if it was because she sat out, while others had to miss out. I call BS on that, because no matter what, someone else got to play in her place. So she if anything allowed another young woman to shine while she sat.

Honestly, this is more about mental health. We shouldn't hate on someone because of their nerves. If they can't go, no one should face criticism for it. Just like with Naomi Osaka, that tennis player who backed out of the major tennis event.

Mental health isn't something to hate someone for.

I used to party every weekend with my lady and friends. But I turned 30 and I honestly couldn't deal with the hangovers, and to be honest, I kind got bored of doing it so much. My weekends these days are hanging with the family, meeting friends on occasion, and maybe gaming, watching movies and when covid ends, traveling.

Have you grown out of partying? I don't mind partying, just not as much as I used to.
