Obama is Going to the Super Bowl …if the Chicago Bears Make It

by DG

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is promising he’ll be at the Super Bowl if his beloved hometown Chicago Bears make it in.

It’s not clear, though, that his off-the-cuff comment represented a firm commitment — or just a lighthearted moment in a busy day.

The Bears would earn a Super Bowl berth if they beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Obama was asked about his plans Wednesday by reporters being ushered out of his Oval Office meeting with the president of China.

Obama said laughingly: “Oh, if the Bears are in the Super Bowl, we’re going.”

The Super Bowl is Feb. 6 at the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium in Texas.

Lil Wayne Speaks About Chris Brown, D. Wade & Lebron

by DG

In the new issue of Rolling Stone, Weezy discussed how he felt about having Chris Brown on the Carter IV.

“I cannot have Chris Brown rapping on Tha Carter IV,” said Wayne of keeping the “Look At Me Now” for himself instead of Chris Brown. “He ain’t sound bad. He’s spitting. But come on, man! Do you know how many rappers would be like, ‘I can’t get on Tha Carter IV, but this ni**a put Chris Brown on that bitch? Rapping?”

But since Dwayne is such a nice and thoughtful person, “Look At Me Now” was left for Chris Brown to have. “You can’t take a ni**a’s song and take him off of it. That’s saying a whole lot. That’s like telling him, ‘I think this shit is hotter without you,’” admitted Weezy. “I would feel played if a ni**a did me that way.”

In the same interview he spoke about Dwayne Wade and Lebron James not speaking to him when he sits courtside.

When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwayne Wade never came over to talk to him. “Them nigg*s never speak to a nigg*,” he says. “They don’t chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigg* spent all that money on them f*cking tickets … Come holla at me. We sit right by them little b*tch-ass nigg*s. At least come ask me why I’m not rooting for you.”

He looked and sounded the exact same back then. It’s crazy to think about a guy that big who can run the floor in high school.

ESPN Town Hall Meeting: Image of the Black Athlete

by DG

I watched this the other night on ESPN and was very fascinated. Spike Lee, Jalen Rose, John Calipari, Marion Jones, Randy Shannon, and Michael Wilbon were on the panel. Many of the problems they discussed are hardly mentioned in the media but always talked about within black communities.  I believe this is a very critical conversation to have and hope this spurs some type of debate. Hit the jump below to watch the meeting which took place in the church Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached in; Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA.
