A reality TV star became a two-term president—and opened the floodgates for unqualified candidates everywhere. @carronjphillips.bsky.social

Michelle Tafoya, Jay Feely, Derek Dooley, etc. I wrote about how sports personalities’ political aspirations ring hollow without interest in local government. A reality TV star became a 2-term POTUS and the floodgates for unqualified candidates opened. contrarian.substack.com/p/trying-to-...

My latest. Read it. Share it. Take it in.

If you’re frustrated with Black coaches who lose high-profile jobs for misconduct, you’re not alone. “Ime Udoka And Mel Tucker Just Added Sherrone Moore To Their Group Chat“ By: Me ✍🏾👨🏾‍💻 @newsoneofficial.bsky.social newsone.com/6677226/sher...

“The governing body of the world’s biggest sport bent the knee to America’s smallest man. In this somewhat hilarious yet troubling comedy of errors, who was the bigger fool: Those who sold the dream, or the person who bought it?” carronjphillips.substack.com/p/fifa-playe...

Oh man, I forgot the one dude fumbled Nia Long 🥴

Give Shannon Sharpe honorary membership since he wanna be done so damn bad

“The governing body of the world’s biggest sport bent the knee to America’s smallest man,” writes @carronjphillips.bsky.social in his latest.

My latest: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This point is really the most frustrating part of all this. There is already barrier for black coaches. You already got a target on your back, then you do something stupid (because you don’t see color and try to align with whiteness) and they quickly remind your black ass that you don’t belong

“Moore, Udoka, and Tucker had the opportunity to push the door open even further for Black coaches. Instead, they did the thing that frustrates every coach — committed unforced turnovers.” I wrote about Sherrone Moore…and his decisions. @newsoneofficial.bsky.social newsone.com/6677226/sher...

Column No. 2 of the day: “Donald Trump finally received his “prize.” The emperor was gifted new clothes. Neither gift was real.” @contrariannews.org contrarian.substack.com/p/fifa-playe...

Give him a shiny and he'll do whatever you want.

I was prepared. Saw all the rumors weeks ago. Oh well. Buddy did it to his self. HAIL #GoBlue 〽️

I’m not saying the committee didn’t make the right decision — both times. But, I totally understand why the ACC is infuriated about Duke not being in it after winning a conference championship just years after FSU was left out after winning a conference championship.

“The Clippers made a move that neither improved their team nor helped their reputation. And that in itself is the greatest description of who the Los Angeles Clippers have always been, and will continue to be — losers.” newsone.com/6660125/the-...

Accountability in America for privileged white men in power seems non-existent — if it ever existed. Even a “smoking gun” proves useless. Elections have consequences. carronjphillips.substack.com/p/the-damnin...

Of Course, The Los Angeles Clippers Did Chris Paul Dirty — They’re The Clippers! For @newsoneofficial.bsky.social, I wrote about how this isn’t just about a team mistreating a legend; it’s about a franchise that’s addicted to making bad decisions. newsone.com/6660125/the-...

As Americans headed into the holidays, a Georgia judge threw out Trump’s last remaining criminal case over the 2020 election. @carronjphillips.bsky.social

“Audio exists of Trump trying to bully an elected official into helping him ‘find 11,780 votes’ to overturn an election he lost — and it still didn’t matter.” My latest on the damning dismissal — on Thanksgiving Eve — of his election interference case in GA. contrarian.substack.com/p/the-damnin...

By me. ✍🏾👨🏾‍💻

If a case like this--which is shockingly obvious in its intent to subvert the Constitution--can be thrown out we are in big trouble in this country.

🚨 👇🏾 From @shalisemyoung.bsky.social

some things never, ever change. there are 136 fbs schools, which means close to 300 coordinators. we’re supposed to believe there isn’t a single non-white coach that’s worthy of this list? foh.

Bill Belichick’s first season at UNC was a complete circus. It was a train wreck in every way possible. However… He still won more games this season with a lesser roster than ole boy did at Colorado. 😬🤷🏾‍♂️

4-8 9-4 3-9 Deion is 16-21 in 3 years at Colorado. He was 0-2 at the Celebration Bowl @ JSU & 0-1 in bowl games at CU. JSU won the CB AFTER he left. He’s one of the 5 highest paid coaches in college football. Fired. Part ways. Doesn’t matter. End this charade, Colorado.

I wrote about working nights, weekends and holidays — and how even a “dream” job still has its tradeoffs. Explaining (to aspiring sports journalists) is not the same as complaining: nicoleauerbach.substack.com/p/working-fo...

As we enter Thanksgiving, remember two things. 1. Keep the less fortunate in your prayers. 2. Never lose sight of the things in this note from 2023. It’s timeless.

Add NFL players to the list of people working through Thanksgiving.

I wrote about the gruesome history of lynching. The President has insinuated that it should happen to his political rivals. The imagery of white bodies hanging from trees would definitely be some “strange fruit.” My latest: ✍🏾👨🏾‍💻 @newsoneofficial.bsky.social newsone.com/6628180/trum...
