I really hadn’t planned on commenting on this story because I thought Tony Kornheiser statements about Hannah Storm’s outfit being “too tight“, “like she has sausage casing wrapped around her body” and was ”a Holden Caulfield fantasy” were just stupid. It sounded to me like Tony needed a little “me time” because his comments were more sexual than fashion conscious. And we all know that sex is a part of sports. That’s what cheerleaders are all about! I just saw a porn video being passed off as a March Madness preview!
When I first heard about the comments and the suspension, I thought he needed the time off to go to Vegas and get his “head right.” It’s not like the money loss would kill him. Because it was just a stupid thing to say. Before I had seen the outfit, I was expecting to see her half naked. Instead, the first thing I thought when I saw it was “sock-it-too-me.” Yes, I’m old enough to remember Laugh-In. The outfit Hannah had on was “funky.” Not overly sexual. Face it, I think Tony let the “little head” control what the “big head” thought and did. Not the first time that has happened right fellas? LOL
Sex has been a part of sports for decades. That’s why we have half naked women jumping, bouncing, and jiggling at many sporting events. Have you seen the “ring girls” at a boxing matches? Or how about the girls standing next to the Nascar and Tour de France winners? And do I need to elaborate on the cheerleaders on football fields and at basketball arenas? Sex has and will always be a part of sports.

I would wager to guess that most people who weren’t die hard Indianapolis Colt’s fans were rooting for the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl. Nothing against the Colts. It’s just that most people have at least heard of “Naleans‘ “, the Mardi Gras, and the French Quarter. And even more people remember Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that it brought to that city. The images of dead floating bodies, people wadding through water up to people’s shoulders, people trapped on their roofs waiting for help, and the Super Dome that had become a defacto home for tens of thousands of people. The city is still trying to rebuild itself from the storm. So for a lot of people the Super Bowl “needed” to go the the Saints. And with the win, another thing happened. The Golden Boy, Peyton Manning, showed himself to be not quite the Role Model we all thought he was!
With 31 seconds on the clock and after throwing the interception that sealed the loss for the Colts, Peyton Manning left the field. He didn’t what has become a tradition, congratulating the winning quarterback on the field. The same tradition he was the beneficiary of just a few seasons ago. This “class act” and “all around good guy” refused to show humility and thank the winners. I guess Peyton decided to take advice from Lebron James and disrespect the game, the tradition, and the other team and not shake hands with the winners. Is this what our so-called role models have turned into, POOR SPORTS?
During the press conference after the game, he still refused to give the Saints the respect they deserved. He stated a few times that the Colts beat themselves. Not that the Saints played an almost perfect game. Both offensively, defensively, and on Special Teams. It was a TEAM EFFORT and the better team won. What is so hard about giving the winning team Props?
This is just desserts. Drew Brees should have won the MVP this season but it went to Manning. But the creator has a way of righting the wrongs of us mere mortals. Because the Saints won and Brees was named the MVP of the Super Bowl!
Personally, only the creator could have written this script. His plan was to take down one more false idols, reward the city of New Orleans for its pain, right the wrong of the league MVP, and give it to the true owner, Drew Brees. God is god, ALL THE TIME!!!

If you are a basketball fan, Christmas was our day. there were FIVE GAMES on in one day. And for the most part, we were able to watch basketball from 9:00am until 9:30pm. And the only game that shouldn’t have been played being the Clippers against the Suns. The Clippers??? Who the hell wants to watch the Clippers? But I digress. the featured game of the day was the Los Angeles Lakers against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron against Kobe. Shaq back in Los Angeles. The two teams the league has been trying to wish into the finals. But it wasn’t the game that will be remembered by those who saw it. It is the fan revolt. Laker’s fans, used to getting BULLSHIT CALLS, especially at HOME, were mad because the refs let them play. And to show their displeasure, they threw the five-away foam fingers and some water bottles onto the floor . But what seems to have been missed in all of this is the FACT that the picture on the fingers is a GANG SIGN for Los Angeles!
I didn’t really look at the fingers as they were raining down from the stands. I was just GITTY that the Lakers were getting DEALT WITH, at HOME, on CHRISTMAS, for ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. It was a day later, after seeing the picture did I see the Gang Sign on the foam fingers. Here is a picture of the sign. The first picture is the original picture. The second picture turns to foam finger “right side up” so you can see EXACTLY what I am talking about. And here is the proof that this is an OLD SCHOOL gang sign for Los Angeles.

I don’t know if this was a new promotion or what. What I do know, after working with at-risk gang members for over 5 years, is what the different gang signs mean. And that includes gang signs that are local, statewide, or national. And the the picture on the foam fingers passed out to thousands of fans, was indeed a gang sign!
I’d love to know what the thought process was in deciding to try and pass off a gang sign in a Los Angeles Lakers game promotion. And I would love to know which person, who surely didn’t create the hand sign themselves, decided to promote the Lakers as a gang. Either way, the past can’t be changed. And the fact remains, the Lakers got DEALT WITH on Christmas and the Promotion that had a gang sign on it went terrible wrong!
