DJT did nothing tonight except given SNL maybe their greatest satirical opener ever. 🤣

So I'm hearing that the speech was nothing more than placing blame on Biden and spilling a zillion lies. When your approval rating is in the tank I guess you have to defend yourself? What an idiot!

Finally, on this day in 1989, "The Simpsons" premiered on Fox T.V. as an animated series. The show may be the longest running show in television history on now for 36 years.

Also, on this day in 1965, the Houston Astrodome held its first concert with headliner, Judy Garland. The opening act was a group of young ladies from Detroit known as "The Supremes."

Good Morning; On this day in 1957, the "Nat King Cole Show" aired its last episode due to lack of national sponsorship. We all know what that meant for the brother!

2 time MVP Steve Nash looking fly in the double breastfed jacket. 👍

Did anyone tell Coach Thibbs that the bench was responsible for the win with Bridges not even on the floor to close out the game?

Congrats New York Knicks! The town will party tonight for sure. Those Spurs will be a problem once Wemby is off restrictions. We may see them in June.

Spurs are starting to falter. They could use a Chris Paul in these situations.

Amazon Prime highlighted all of these folks in the crowd but not the great Spencer Haywood? Once again basketball played before the 80's gets dissed!

NBA Cup tonight. Spurs/ Knicks. Who you got? Glad that it's 2 teams that play both ends of the floor for 48 minutes. Being a one-time New Yorker, we need some kind of championship but won't be mad if the young bucks in San Antonio get the win.

CBP is back in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Let's run them out again!

African Americans make up 27% of the population, roughly 1.4 million people. How we remain a non-voting factor due to gerrymandering is appalling. Alabama should be state that turns Blue for sure.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow." ~ Albert Einstein A portion of todays' America believes that we should live in tomorrow as fear of progressing forward may place them at a disadvantage. We must advance through the ignorance of those dormant in the past

America: It is clear that a very sick individual is running this country in DJT. The depth of his evilness has no end, and we should not be looking for any sort of humanity to breathe from the mouth of this despicable person. If you are among the 80 million people that voted for this, you're liable

Finally, on this day in 1985, " The Color Purple" premiered in NYC. The film adapted from the novel by Alice Walker, starred Whoopie Goldberg and Danny Glover. One of the greatest films in history with a powerful Black cast!

Also, on this day in 1969 the film adaptation of " Hello Dolly" premiered staring Barbara Streisand. The film would go on to win 3 Academy Awards. What a fantastic voice!

Good Morning; On this day in 1940, Joe Louis defeats Al McCoy with a 6th round KO to gain the Heavyweight title here in Chicago, Illinois. Joe Louis may have been the most popular champ prior to Ali.

The occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is pure garbage. To defame the deceased in Rob Riener and his lovely wife is another exhibition of Trump's human scum. I try to have patience with all but at this point, any and all who voted for this man is garbage as well.

Finally, on this day in 1791, the U.S. BIll of Rights is ratified becoming Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution. Virginia becomes the final state of approval. Thing is, most Americans only zoom in on parts of the amendments that fits their interest. IE: everyone can quote the 2nd amendment.

Also, on this day in 1961, Martin Luther King Junior is arrested for joining 500 other civil rights protesters in Albany Georgia. We all must sip from this cup of resistance in our quest to fight in upholding democracy.

Good Morning; On this day in 1939 "Gone With the Wind" premiered in Atlanta. The film starred Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh. The film won best picture in 1940. Hattie McDaniel becomes the 1st African American to win an Oscar in a supporting role.

Kicker! Ugh.....

4 degrees right now in the Chi for Bears kickoff. Go Bears!

Finally, on this day in 1991, the 57th Heisman trophy went to Michigan's Desmond Howard. Living in Ann Arbor at the time I witnessed the exploits of the versatile athlete weekly. Desmond is now an outstanding NCAA contributing analyst for ESPN.

Also, on this day in 1969, The Jackson 5 premiered on the Ed Sullivan Show as they Sky rocketed to fame.

Good Morning; On this day in 1933 African American singer and dancer Josephine Baker performed in Amsterdam. Ms. Baker would be greatly accepted abroad while still facing racism in her native land of America. A true legend!

I knew the Spurs would be trouble. A good match up for OKC. Who had Knicks/ Spurs on their dance card for the final?

If the rest of the NBA would compete like these two teams, Spurs/ Thunder the league wouldn't get the bad rap it's getting for lackadaisical play. This is highly entertaining.

Wemby on the floor for 7 minutes and a plus 20! Gotta have him on the floor Spurs, please?

Knicks are in the Cup finals. Who will join them, Spurs or Thunder?

Anyone gonna play Defense in this Knick/ Magic Cup game?

After the Colts called up 44 year old Philip Rivers, the Bulls should consider 62 year old Michael Jeffrey Jordan. 🤣🤣🤣

No real college football today. Ugh..... It's 7 degrees right now in Chicago so I guess it's time to read a book and drink hot cocoa.

Ok, I watched the Taylor Swift Eras special last night out of curiosity and the young lady had talent and knows how to capture an audience. I was tapping my toe all night. I get it now and I'm not her target audience.

So appropriate for today's America.

Finally, on this day in 1989, the film " Driving Miss Daisy" opens starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman. The film wins best picture in 1990. Freeman would grow into a class A actor though I'm not a fan of his indifference to discussions on race in or outside of Hollywood.

Also, on this day in 1975, SNL uses a time delay due to the controversial Richard Pryor hosting. It turned out to be one of the funniest episodes in SNL history. 🤣🤣🤣

Good Morning; On this day in 1957, the Dodgers trade Jackie Robinson to the Giants for a Pitcher and $35,000. Rather than being traded Robinson would retire. Enough said!

Meanwhile, " The Felon in Chief" continues to perform in the way of a felon. WTF?

This, is what makes Chicago the greatest city in the world! Yes, I'm bias.

One more? On this day in the year 2000, SCOTUS rendered a 5-4 decision in "Bush v Gore," handing the presidency to George Bush after the Florida recount disaster. Today SCOTUS continues to be the 3rd " House of Congress" instead of abiding by the rule of law. America, we are in trouble!

Finally, on this day in 1968, Arthur Ashe becomes the first African American tennis player to be ranked number one. When we speak of African American heroes we somehow forget the trail that Mr. Ashe blazed in his quest for equality in the sport that he loved. 🙏

Also, on this day in 1900 James Weldon Johnson's poem " Lift Every Voice and Sing" was set to music by his brother, J Rosamond Johnson. The hymn becomes " the Black National Anthem. " The hymn being sung today at major sporting events irritates some white folks, but it's here to stay!

Good Morning; On this day in 1787, Pennsylvania became the 2nd state to ratify the U.S. constitution. What a historical event for the state of my birth. Yet, today we fight on the domestic front to keep the constitution alive from as our own president tries to ignore it.

And who is surprised that this racist actor is siding with MAGA ?

Finally, on this day in 2008, Bernie Madoff was arrested and charged with Securities Fraud to the tune of fifty billion dollars. Yet, we have the king of Grifters running this country! Make it make sense?

Also, on this day in 1981, Muhammad Ali lost his final fight to a young Trevor Berbick by unanimous decision in the Bahamas. " And still!" The Greatest.

Good Morning; On this day in 1967 the film " Guess who's coming to dinner" premiered on NYC. The film starred Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, and Katherine Hepburn who won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance. Note that Bea Richards and Isabel Sanford played in the film as well. 2 greats

Job well done ESPN. 👏👏👏👏
