Anthony Davis Kentucky Basketball Recruit

I went to see Anthony Davis of Perspectives(Chicago) play for the first time last week in the Chicago Public Schools Holiday Tournament. I have to first of all say I was impressed,his upside is off the charts. He's 6 foot 10 195 pound shooting guard who handles the ball like a point, sees the floor well, and has shooting range to the parking lot. Also rebounds and blocks shots very well. He has to gain weight and also get used to his height. You see last year at this time he was a 6 foot 3 shooting guard. That's right: he grew 7 inches in a 6 month time frame. He's still learning how to play on the low block(he has a great turnaround jumper in the post already). He's also still getting used to his body being 6 foot 10. The best use of his ability will be in the future. As it is the game I saw he had 46 points 19 rebounds and 8 blocks in a 74-66 loss to Harper(Chicago),great for somebody still getting used to his height huh? He plays for a team that is very HORRIBLE talent around him. He stayed at the school for academics. How do I know? I asked him and his father the question after the game. I will say for the Kentucky fans you are going to love this kid. He's looking forward to coming to Lexington. You may only have him for 1 year but enjoy that year Kentucky fans. He may not win Mr Basketball (Ryan Boatright,or Wayne Blackshear will probably get that honor) but as far as PROSPECT I feel Anthony Davis is the Number 1 prospect in the country. This is my rant for Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. God Bless.

First 15 days of the Illinois High School Basketball Season

Well a great start to the high school season. Ryan Boatright (Connecticut signee) of East Aurora(Aurora) has a fabulous triple double of 55 points 10 rebounds and 10 steals vs St Charles North in second game of season. Anthony Davis(Kentucky signee) of Perspectives MSA(Chicago) is averaging 38 points a game and has had 1 triple double for an 0-6 team. Wayne Blackshear(Louisville signee) of Defending City Champ Morgan Park(Chicago) is dominating so far in a 2-0 start. Also Mycheal Henry(Illinois signee) of Orr(Chicago) is off to a fabulous start also. As for teams Whitney Young (Chicago) has had a shocking loss to Southeast(Springfield) at the Springfield Shootout. And Defending 4A Champ Simeon(Chicago) is looking like it could be one of the best teams of all time in Illinois in dismantling of Defending 3A Champ Hillcrest(Country Club Hills). Surprise team has been Notre Dame (Niles) with a 7-0 record. Leaders have been Quentin Chievous(son of Missouri All-American Derrick Chievous) and unsigned Rodney Pryor. Also getting help from 3 point specialist Ryan Tompkins. Most disappointing team has been Evanston with a 4-3 record. Tough sledding under new coach Mike Ellis. We will know more after Christmas Tourneys. Chicago Public Schools Tournament will probably be the best in the country even without Whitney Young(Chicago). 50th Annual Proviso West Tournament will be great as usual. This is my rant for today. Happy Holidays to everyone and God Bless. 

Black Athletes Being Slaves To White Audiences

This is a crazy subject for me especially since I played basketball for a living. I believe that black athletes are slaves to the white fans. I am not typing about monitary things because most pro athletes get paid a lot of money. Thing is once they are done why are they not becoming owners or in upper management in sports? It's the same cycle over and over. Most pro sports are populated with African American athletes but seems like it doesn't translate to ownership. Why? One of the reasons being that it's hard for blacks to move into the "good ol boy" network. Most of those positions are held by white men who love exploiting athletes at every turn. They have no problem seeing them entertain white audiences and making fools of themselves in the process. But when it comes to bringing them into the network it doesn't happen. When a black athlete has outlived his usefulness there is hardly ever an offer into upper management of sports teams. Or why isn't some owner taking a black athlete under his wing and teach him the business and groom him to be his successor? They do it for white athletes all the time. This has been happening for over 80 years. Majority of athletes that are in pro sports are black, you would think there would be some that own a pro team. In football guess how many teams are owned by a black man? Try NONE!!!!!!!!!! Baseball? Same thing. Basketball? A total of one (Michael Jordan). ONE BLACK OWNER IN THE 3 MAJOR SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't even mention hockey. LOL!!!!!!!!! So if whites really want to use equality and fair hiring practices put your money where your mouth is. Start encouraging African Americans to own pro sports teams. This is my rant for today. God Bless.     

Cameron Newton "Controversy"

The last two weeks the reporting on this recruiting situation on Cameron Newton has become out of hand. A couple of things: what is the big deal if he cheated at Florida or not? He is not there anymore first of all, and second of all if it was 3 times why isn't the NCAA-HOLES questioning the school? Letting him get away with it the first time was wrong. As for the Mississippi State situation HE DID NOT SIGN TO GO TO THE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any news story or "investigation" should center on if he got paid to go to Auburn. Every story I have seen is all speculation. All put out by Mississippi State coaches and Kenny Rogers a Mississippi State alum. You think this would have gotten out if Newton signed with the Bulldogs? This is the media again going overboard to mess with this kids reputation. And an African American kid at that. Another factor: the Florida Gators are not doing as well as expected this year. You think they regret now lettting Newton leave the school? He's tearing it up at Auburn and Florida's QB's are struggling. It would have been poetic justice if Florida made the SEC title tilt against Auburn. I would have loved to see Newton pass and run all over the Gators. This kid doesn't need the Heisman trophy. I feel he is going to be an All-Pro Quarterback in the NFL. And that he's not on the Top 5 QB's in the NFL Draft is a travesty. The good ol boy network at play again to disparage a black QB's ability. I am not surprised. I say blessings to Cameron Newton and his family. Hope things go well for you in your pro career.  This is my rant for today. Blessings to all.  

State of Illinois Top 5 High School Basketball Class of 2011

This is one of the greatest classes ever produced in the state of Illinois. It will hard to pick a top 5 since at least 50 division I players will come out of this class. 1) ANTHONY DAVIS 6'10" FORWARD-CENTER PERSPECTIVES CHARTER(CHICAGO) - The greatest recruiting riser ever in the history of high school basketball. Nobody knew about him at all last March. Growing 10 inches in 21 months will do that. As it is he's a Kevin Garnett light. He blocks shots, great ball handler,three point shooter and rebounder. Signed with Kentucky he has a chance to be one of the best players ever to come out of Chicago. Needs to add strength. 2) WAYNE BLACKSHEAR 6'5" GUARD-FORWARD-MORGAN PARK(CHICAGO)- This Lousiville signee is an awesome athlete that can jump out of the gym. Good post up player,rebounder,three point shooter. Needs to learn how to use athleticism to play defense and also improve his ball handling. Has a chance to be a great one in college. 3) MYCHEAL HENRY 6'6" GUARD-FORWARD-ORR(CHICAGO)- Known as a knock down three point shooter this Illinois signee is so much more. He can put the ball on the ground,rebound, and is a good passer. A great get for Bruce Webber and the ILLINI. Has a chance to be an NBA Player. 4) MICHAEL SHAW 6'8" FORWARD-CENTER-DELASALLE(CHICAGO)- He's ranked higher on my list because he plays hard and has a myriad of skills. Can shoot it out to three point range, rebounds, and blocks shots. Most think he has reached his ceiling. I for one don't think he has. Illinois signee will have a great senior year. 5) Chasson Randle 6'1" GUARD-ROCK ISLAND- The Stanford signee is a combo guard that has a chance to play point at the next level. Can shoot,pass, and is quick with the ball. Solid build that is ready for the college game. Plays lock down defense also. There are a lot more deserving players not on this list. As I said this is a great class comparable to 1998 class of Quentin Richardson, Corey Maggette, and Frank Williams.

State of Illinois High School Basketball Class of 2012 (juniors) Top 5

This is a hard one for me. This is one of the weakest classes ever in the State of Illinois. Very few big time prospects and no future McDonalds All-American in the bunch. 1) Steve Taylor 6'7" FORWARD Simeon (Chicago)- This kid came on strong over the summer. Is good on the interior, blacks shots, rebounds, good wing span. Needs to work on his perimeter game to advance to a big time level. 2) Jay Simpson 6'8" FORWARD Centennial (Champaign)- He was on a State 3A Champion as a freshman, he has skills on the wing and plays decent inside. The Purdue commit has the potential to be Number 1 on this list. Has to upgrade the intensity of his game. 3) Aaron Simpson 6'0" GUARD North Chicago- Stone cold scorer of the Allen Iverson mold. Quick with good ball handling, can get to any spot on the floor he wants. Scores a variety of ways and has range on jumper. Needs to play defense with more intensity but is a Division I prospect. 4) Derrick Randolph 5'6" POINT GUARD Whitney Young(Chicago)- Will be key to Young's season. Academic issues could be a roadblock. As it is he's quick, strong, and gets into you defensively. Has a good three point shot and can get into the lane and use his floater to score. Good at running a team but to me is a low Division I prospect at the moment. 5) CJ Jones 6'0" GUARD Orr (Chicago)- Another small stone cold scorer, not as explosive as Simpson. Plays harder than any high school player at the moment. Pretty good outside shooter and can get to the basket. He's gonna have to learn  to play point guard at the next level. Not much happening with this class but somebody has to be Top 5.   Next will be Class of 2011.      

Pre Season Top 10 Chicago High School Basketball Part 2

Here's my 6-10: 6) Orr (Chicago) - This team is ready to become A Chicago Public League Power led by Illinois commit All-American Mycheal Henry (6'6" senior guard) but he's not the only talented player, CJ Jones (6'0" junior guard), point guard Santonio Stiggers is a key. This team will contend in 3A this year. 7) Benet (Lisle) - This team took Simeon to overtime in the Supersectional last year. They are ready to make another run with Northwestern commit David Soblewski (6'1 senior point guard) and Wisconsin commit Frank Kaminsky (6'10" senior forward-center). Key for them is forward Matt Parisi as to how far they go. 8) Proviso East (Maywood) - This team is led by a couple of juniors point guard Keith Carter (6'0") has been running the team for three years now, and Trashaun Carroll (6'5 center) who is rugged on the glass and blocks shots. Wild card here will be Sterling Brown (6'4" sophmore guard-forward) the younger brother of NBA player and LA Laker Shannon Brown. Question: Will they have enough size to hit the boards to help Carroll?. 9) Hillcrest (Country Club Hills) - Defending Class 3A state champ lost a lot and will have a tough go with other teams dropping to 3A. They still have Juice Brown (5'10" point guard) and Toledo commit running the show. Question will upcoming talent step in to help Brown? 10) Glenbard East(Lombard) - Made it to Sectional Title game last year but lost to Benet. They will be led by Johnny Hill (6'3" swingman) committed to Illinois State and point guard Zach Miller. This team had a great summer winning two tournaments. Can they carry it over into the regular season? 10) (tie)   Evanston- This team has a new coach Mike Ellis from Peoria Richwoods. He has said this team will play man to man pressure defense to take advantage of their athleticism. The leader is 4 year varsity player Garrett Jones (5'11" guard) committed to Cornell and James Farr (6'8" forward -center) also a Division One prospect . Also should get help from Clark Rosenberg (6'3" forward) and Mike Gillette (6'0" guard). Question? Will Lorenzo Dillard(6'1" sophmore guard) be a part of the program this year?    

State Of Illinois Top 5 High School Players in Class Of 2013(sophmores)

1) Jabari Parker - Simeon (Chicago) 6'7" Guard-Forward - The undisputed leader of defending 4A State Champs, one of the top 5 sophmores in America. Parker is very skilled and a student of the game(son of ex-NBA player Sonny Parker), ball handling,midrange jumper,passing, and low post game are solid. More athletic than given credit for, has tons of schools already trailing him. Will be a McDonalds All-American senior year. 2) Thomas Hamilton - Whitney Young (Chicago) 6'9" Forward-Center- son of ex-NBA player Thomas Hamilton is the latest in a long line of talent at Young,very good three point shooter for any size, also a monster in the low post when he wants to be.  He needs to play with more intensity and keep weight under control. Seems to run the floor very well for his size. One to look out for and could also develop into a McDonalds All-American. 3) Alex Foster - DeLaSalle(Chicago) 6'7" Forward-Center - Played off the bench last year as a freshman, is strictly a low post player at this point, and a very good one. If he doesn't grow anymore will need to work on his wing skills, dribbling,outside shooting,etc. Will have a bigger role at DeLaSalle this year. 4) Kendrick Nunn Simeon (Chicago) 6'3" GUARD- Surprisingly got good playing time on a loaded squad as a freshman. All the talk is about Parker but this wing  guard has a myriad of skills. Outside shooting, passing, and ball handling skills are above average. Has a good chance to develop as a point guard in the future. 5) Billy Garrett  - Morgan Park (Chicago) 6'4" Guard - Good ball handling skills for a big guard. Can play point with his skill level, good decision making, and understanding of the game (son of  DePaul assistant coach Billy Garrett) can also hit the three pointer with consistency. With more strength has a very bright future. I HAD A HARD TIME WITH NUMBER 5 AS THERE WERE A LOT OF DESERVING GUYS. Jalen Tate- DeLaSalle(Chicago), Markee Williams - Morgan Park(Chicago) to name two. This is going to turn out to be a great class on par with Class of 2011. Next will be Class of 2012.  

State of Illinois Top 5 High School Basketball Players in Class of 2014(freshman)

My Top 5 players in Class of 2014: 1) MILIK YARBROUGH 6'4" GUARD-FORWARD ZION BENTON( ZION)- I know most say Okafor of Whitney Young but Yarbrough has a  very versatile game. He can play inside or outside and is very strong for a freshman. I have been told he's better than Jereme Richmond(Waukegan and University of Illinois) as a freshman. Will have huge impact on varsity right away. 2. JAKIL OKAFOR 6'8" CENTER WHITNEY YOUNG (CHICAGO)- A load and monster in the paint. Weighs at least 240 pounds and has some nice back to the basket moves. Also a good free throw shooter for a big man. Has to improve on his explosiveness off the ground which can come with time and regulating his weight. 3) PAUL WHITE 6'6" GUARD-FORWARD WHITNEY YOUNG (CHICAGO)- Another impact freshman for Young's varsity I feel he has the best upside of any of the freshman because of his ball handling and perimeter skills at such a young age. He will grow into his body and needs to learn how to take advantage of his size in the low post. 4. LARRY AUSTIN 5'11" GUARD LANPHER (SPRINGFIELD)- Very explosive and quick athlete who can jump out of the gym. Best freshman at Lanpher since Andre Iguodala(NBA Philadelphia 76ers). Needs to work on his ball handling and outside shooting. Also needs to learn how to run a team. Very good passer. 5) ERIC LOCKE 5'9" GUARD RIVER FOREST (OAK PARK)- This was a hard one as Miles Reynolds of Whitney Young is just as deserving. I went with Locke because he physically looks like he's ready for varsity play right now. Not sure he will start out at Oak Park but he will have an impact. He gets to the basket very well, has a funky looking jump shot with not good form. Good passer when he wants to be plays hard and tough defense. Shoots a little too much for a freshman. Will have to tone it down at Oak Park. This freshman class is very strong and we will see how these guys develop in the future. Peace to the creatures. God Bless. Tomorrow I will do the Sophmores(Class of 2013).  

Pre Season Top 10 Chicago High School Basketball Part I

1) Chicago Simeon- Defending 4A State Champs return a ton of talent led by super sophmore Jabari Parker(6'7" son of ex-NBA player Sonny Parker). At least 10 and maybe more Division I prospects on this team. Question? Will the kids keep playing the Simeon way or go to their own devices? 2) Chicago DeLaSalle-the biggest challenge to Simeon with a starting lineup averaging 6'5". Illinois commit Michael Shaw (6'8" senior forward) along with Dre Henley's(6'6" senior guard) return they should challenge for the title. Question? Will coaching and coming up short in the playoffs the last few years haunt this team? And will Alex Foster (6'8" sophmore) advance his game? 3) Chicago Whitney Young- Class 4A runner up probably has the most talent in the country (at least 11 Division 1 prospects) led by Ohio State commit and jumping jack Sam Thompson (6'6" senior), Thomas Hamilton(6'8" sophmore and son of ex-NBA player of the same name), and three top freshman coming in. Can they win their 2nd State Title in 3 years? Also same questions as Simeon do they have too much talent to succeed? 4) Chicago Morgan Park- Defending City Champ might have caught a break with drop to 3A. They become instant favorites for State Title in that class. They are led by All-American Wayne Blackshear (6'6" senior Louisville commit) and can he jell with the sophmores led by Markee Williams (5'9") and Billy Garrett Jr (6'3"). Question? Will they become complacent with drop to 3A? 5) Chicago Brooks- Yes I have them this high with 4 Division I prospects that have started for 4 years. Leader of the pack is Wisconsin commit George Marshall (6'1" senior), also will the Gray twins Keith and Kevin (6'7" senior for both) finally play up to their immense potential? Biggest question: Will the coaching change with Bobby Locke coming in from Evanston be better or worse than Chris Head was? Rest of the Top Ten tomorrow. That is my rant for today. Peace to the creatures and God Bless.

The Fallacy Of Barack Obama

I am the first to admit I cried the night of election day 2008. I was glad a black man was elected into office. Then slowly but surely I found out it was all a farce. We have been bamboozled. I will say that today I voted along with millions of other people. Why? To honor my ancestors who fought and died for the right to vote for my people. What would they think of their sweat and tears today? First of all democrats have taken the black vote for granted for years. Also this two party system is only to divide and conquer. This is the motto for the Bilderberg Group and Tri Lateral Commission. I would explain further but you will have to look them up to find out more. I will say their sole purpose is to create a One World Order. Thing is we can't stop it because if we do the prophecy of Jesus Christ coming back would not come to fruitition. So far I have not seen Obama do much for blacks and minorities. All I have seen is the President send more troops to Afghanistan, and try and repeal don't ask don't tell (I wrote about that earlier). I find a few things about him funny and tragic. One, what happened those two years "missing" of his time at Columbia University? I have a theory on that one: he was being groomed by the Bilderberg Group to get ready to be President. Two, who takes a $12000 a year job when he can make 20 times that at any major Law Firm in the country? Three, (and you have to live in Chicago to understand this one) how did he get past the Chicago Political machine without any collateral damage? Barack Obama seemed to come out of nowhere to become President of the United States. If you study politics at all a person has to pay his dues (Governor,Vice President, etc) to get a sniff at the Presidency. Also look at his Cabinet, all of them are either Bilderberg Group,Tri Lateral Commission or affiliated with one or both. I know it's sacriligious for an African American to question President Barack Obama. But this same thing has gone on since the private bankers(banksters) killed John F Kennedy because he was going to expose them in Dallas. Also why keep showing Kennedy being violently killed on television over and over again? It's the Bilderberg Group warning future Presidents this will happen to you if you don't play ball. And people seem to also forget this fact: President Barack Obama is black AND white. He doesn't belong solely to black folks. So on this election day I say Barack Obama is a puppet for the Bilderberg Group and private bankers led by David Rockefeller, and David De Rothschild. This economy will not get better. It will get worse before it gets better. That is my rant for today. Peace to the Creatures and God Bless. PS Our only hope is to bring as many people to Christ as possible before the New World Order completely takes over.       

Saga Of Enes Kanter

Who is Enes Kanter you ask? He's a 6'11" 260 pound center that is at Kentucky on a basketball scholarship. He's been cleared to play academically but there are questions about his amateur status. I have played professional basketball overseas so here's the deal. The teams overseas bring a kid at 14 onto their lower club teams. They play him and develop his skills. Technically you can't sign a contract until you are 18. The club can pay for expenses such as gas,food, etc. Usually the kid stays with the club until they get drafted by an NBA team. Then the club "claims" they have the kids rights and the NBA team that drafts him has to pay a "buyout" to get the kid to the NBA. Problem (for the club team) with Kanter is he came to the US at 16 because he wanted to play college basketball. The Turkish team that "developed" Kanter can't have that happen. Why? Because once he plays college  basketball, the Turkish team loses their "rights" to Kanter. Which means no" buyout" for the club, no return on their investment for "developing" Kanter. So the Turkish teams comes up with  a  trumped up charge that they paid Kanter and his family over $100,000 US. The (PARDON MY LANGUAGE HERE) NCAA-HOLES are too stupid to realize this farce trumped up by the Turkish team. Kanter should be ruled eligible immediately. Where are the canceled checks? Where is the paper trail on this supposed $100,000 US? It should be an easy case to decide. But no........THE NCAA-HOLES want to show their gestapo powers and show Kanter who is boss. This is a high profile case and it will have repercussions in the future for the 2AY. More foreign players might want to come and play college basketball. And in the Commonwealth a lot of "FREE ENES" shirts have popped up. Free him from what? He is not a slave or in chains. It's very stupid of Kentucky fans to have those shirts. As a Kentucky fan myself I feel this case is simple. LET KANTER PLAY IMMEDIATELY NCAA-HOLES!!!!!!!!! That is my RANT for today. God Bless and Peace to the creatures.    

Dont Ask Don't Tell

There has been a lot of controversy on this subject. Folks thinking that people who don't support "gay rights" are homophobic. First of all I as a Christian do not have to support your cause as you don't support Christianity. And I am a Veteran so I can speak frankly on this subject. And a phobia or phobic means you are scrared of something. I am not scared of anybody, I fear our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So I am not homophobic or any kind of phobic. Be that as it may here is my rant about the subject above. I for one don't feel it's a good idea to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell". It's about trust and having faith in your buddy during war time. That is a big thing especially in a combat arms unit (infantry,artillery,Marine amphibious unit, etc). You have to be able to trust the person in the foxhole with you in order for, both to stay alive, and to kill the enemy.  People making these decision have never served or been near the military. I know President Obama is Commander In Chief but I think he is misguided on this one (as are most Democrats). Also as a Christian I am tired about the gay community trying to force their agenda on me. I don't think it should be forced on the military either. The Gay struggle is not the black struggle. I and many of my black brothers were born with the color of our skin. Being gay is a choice, you are not born with it. Nothing our there has shown that a person is born gay. It is an excuse that is used so they can go on living that lifestyle without being accountable to God. Yes heterosexual people do a lot of wrong every day. But it's in the Bible that God detests homosexuality (and I don't think I am paraphrasing). So I am saying that we as Christians should not be made to accept the practice of homosexuality. It does not mean we hate gay people or even dislike gay people. We don't like the behavior, it does not necessarily mean we don't like the person. So if gays want to serve of course that is their right as a US citizen. But it doesn't mean the military should accept them being open about it. And that's my spiel and rant for today. I'm here all week. Peace to the creatures and God Bless.

High School Basketball 2010-2011 in Chicago Area

This should be an interesting season in the Chicago area. Top teams Simeon (Chicago), Young (Chicago),DeLaSalle (Chicago) and Morgan Park (Chicago) are loaded with talent. Lots of Division One prospects on all those rosters. Also should have two and possibly THREE McDonald's All-Americans this year in Louisville commit Wayne Blackshear (Morgan Park),Kentucky commit Anthony Davis (Chicago Perspectives Charter), and Illinois commit Mycheal Henry (Chicago Orr). Class 4A favorites are the teams already mentioned earlier in article. Class 3A favorites are Morgan Park,Orr,Rich South(Richton Park),Brooks(Chicago). The interesting thing is defending city champ Morgan Park dropping from 4A to 3A. Defending 4A Champ Simeon is loaded with most of their team coming back. But they are not overwhelming favorite. Class 4A runnerup Whitney Young will be in the mix with top incoming freshman Jakil Okafor,Paul White, and Miles Reynolds. All will play significant minutes. It's also gonna be hard to pick the All-Area team for the Chicago Sun Times as Class of 2011 has as many as 50 division one prospects in that class alone. Later on I will pick my preseason Top 10 teams regardless of classification. I look forward to checing out all the talent here in the Chicagoland area. Happy hunting fans. Peace to the creatures.

Mosque Being Built Near Ground Zero

This is a sensitive subject to all Americans. I say let them build,they have the funds,the building to do what they want. It's the American way. Why religious freedom for some and not all Americans? People forget there were 60 Muslim Americans that died  on 9/11/2001. And I don't believe Muslims were involved in the attack at all(that's for another blog). As Christians we should embrace this and show we are tolerant people. What would Jesus do? He would not oppose this I believe. As Christians lets put the money where our mouth is and support building it. There are strip clubs,liquor stores, and all other things of illrepute in this same area. But folks have a problem with a Mosque being built there? Sorry I don't get it?    

Women in NFL Locker Rooms

My take on this is that women(and men) should not be allowed in NFL locker rooms at all. Players have a right to some kind of privacy immediately after the game. It's human nature that we are attracted to the opposite sex. As it is I agree with Clinton Portis when he says the woman is going to be attracted to one of the 53 men in the room. Folks it's human nature and nothing wrong with it. I just think the NFL locker room is a place that no reproter especially a woman doesn't belong. If a woman wants to do her job and be in the locker room fine but don't get upset at the catcalls and other things that go on there. If a reporter wants to interview a player immediately after a game, then do it on the field of play or after the player has gotten dressed. Either way I don't think it is appropriate for a woman to be in the locker room of NFL players. You don't see male reporters in the locker room after a WNBA Game or a women's tennis match. Should be no double standard there at all. This is one of many of Timothy's Rants. Have a Blessed Day.
