2nd Childhood



"I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley..."

Chuck D - Rebel Without A Pause

Last Saturday I stayed in for a quiet night at home, and once the Eagles vs. Cowboys game was over...the real fun began...

Laugh out Loud

I grew up chasing after my older brother...as I would watching him react to the likes of the Philadelphia, New York, and DC sports teams. The first sport I learned to play was soccer, however once I was introduced to basketball, everything changed.

As I learned the game, I started listening to the Sixers on the radio because my family didn't have cable television...and when I got a little older I would catch them on the local network and cheer my heart out. One player stood out from the rest...as he would play, and speak with such conviction that it started a love for the game that I continue to quench now as a sportswriter.

Charles Wade Barkley will forever be one of my favorite sports figures and when I heard that he and Alicia Keys were going to be on SNL, not only did I tune in...I laughed like I was a 10-year old kid in elementary school...sans the trip to the principle's office.
