Happy Juneteenth Rod, Karen and the Cincinnati Jengals,
I hope all is well and y’all are enjoying y’all Juneteenth.
I didn’t know that if an NFL draftee had not signed with their team then they could re-enter the draft after the season…until I saw folks say Shemar Stewart could end up doing that since the Bengals are trying to stick this young man with contract language that could void future guaranteed money. The Brown family legacy must be finding the cheapest hills to die in. Mike Brown was recycling jock straps and not paying free agents, so (and this is my assumption) his kids are trying make up for paying Burrow, Chase and Higgins by nickle and dimeing rookies? Unserious poverty franchise putting on for the state of Kentucky (Cincinnati is not part of Ohio, it’s airport is across the river).
Enjoy y’all evening and thanks for the dope shows!
Peace,
Dough
Hello Rod, Karen, and Jark Walter & LA Jodgers,
The Dodgers really stepped in it this time. There’s already people upset that they didn’t have a proper statement regarding the brushfires and them sending the team to see Trump & the Whte House for their victory lap. Add them initially allowing ICE to operate on stadium grounds, them trying to ban the woman who sung the official Spanish version of the National Anthem a the game, and them not saying anything about the ICE raids.

Today on Juneteenth, they got a ICE-Protesters standoff at their gates. Considering the fan base and the lingering controversy over how the land was taken from Latinos to build the stadium, I don’t understand how the Dodgers weren’t prepared for this blowback. I hopefully this lack of public awareness doesn’t follow over to the Lakers when Walter takes over.
Peace Always,
Doug B
Happy Juneteenth rod, karen and jance stephenson,
Oh the ancestors would be proud to see this negro not fighting one fellow negro but 2. Lance got into it with dwight howard and then jordan crawford. Gillie had to pull him to the side and say hey man dont fuck this up for cube, which i found funny.
Next lets talk about stephen A smith or as i like to call him Solitaire A smith, as he got caught playing solitaire during a game of the nba finals. His defense was he was doing it during dead balls and timeouts. And that the critics can kiss his ass. Now you see that last part proves you was guilty. These analysts already getting a bad rap for not watching the games but just talking, so this dont look good for him or his colleagues.
Lastly, Rod let me get the ray lewis one time please. This one is a doozy, sheduer sanders of the cleveland blacks gets pulled over and cited for speeding in excess of 101 mph, on these ohio streets. Word on the street is he was racing his girlfriend and she was doing 92 and got a warning. So who really won that race?
Not to be out done tho, as me move over to indiana, zach edey of the grizzles, was charged with reckless driving and also was driving, you guessed it…. 101mph. Now edey got a bad ankle on the court, but apparently not behind the wheel.
I have a question, maybe you have an answer. When you get nil in college, does it stop once turn pro or is it turned into a regular endorsement or what? Just curious
Happy juneteeth again!
Congrats to okc if tonight is the night
Have a great weekend
Stay cool
Fyahworks out
Hey Rod, Karen and Jophie Cunningham,
Rod, can I submit this for the “uh oh — these niggas fighting” segment? Except in this case it’s the white girls! The Fever and the Sun had a technical foul filled game the other day, ending with this:
https://www.si.com/wnba/fever-sophie-cunningham–jacy-sheldon-foul
Sophie Cunningham (aka Maga Barbie to the WNBA fans) decided to choose violence on Jacy Sheldon with 50 seconds left in their game the other day, resulting in both getting ejected right before the game ended. This all followed after Jacy Sheldon, Caitlin Clark and Marina Mabrey (and a few other folks) doing some shit talking to each other all game.
https://sports.yahoo.com/article/sophie-cunningham-turns-heads-cryptic-055256051.html
Let me tell you, the girls are FIGHT-ING. The WNBA reddits have been filled with people mad Mabrey didn’t get ejected earlier in the game, and the usual race war stuff with people saying CC should be “protected better”. Marina Mabrey’s family even posted a tiktok joking about their reactions to Marina always starting shit. I’ve just been on the sideline with popcorn because now the whites are fighting and it is CINEMA.
Love the show!
-D
Happy Juneteenth to the greatest Sporting show we need.
Just wanted to point out that Sabalenka is World #1 and both majors our girl Coco Gauff has won, was by beating her. So she was hurting really bad especially after winning the first set which rarely anyone comes back from losing to win, and Ms Gauff did it. Oh she cried, she blamed the wind, her emotions and everything, I was ready for DEI tbh. She did it right after the match and later at the press conference added that home gurl who she beat in the semifinals would have beaten Coco Gauff unto her excuses. I was like you should have said DEI. Anyways champion Gauff responded that it doesn’t matter cause she whopped that girl too last time that they met. I said yaaaaaaaaaas. I found my race war and I’m all in training for the next clash between Gauff and sabalenka who has now officially tendered a new apology. But it’s too late to apologize, I’m with all the pretty brown skin gurls vs sabalenka in Tennis (maybe new book idea?)
Luv you guys, great show as always. Paravai-Kaaran out!
Hi Rod, Karen, and Jephen A. Smith,
Oh happy day, happy day. The Lakers are no longer gonna be a mom and pop shop in a city full of Costcos and Walmarts. Not only were we broke, but because of this family business BS, we were inept. At one time, our scouting dept. was run by Jim Buss, a former horse trainer! Now we will have a real analytics dept. and training staff and facilities. Fuck. That. Apron.
Also, Stephen A is going more and more off the rails. Did you see him going after Ja? This guy really thinks he’s as big as the players. But I guess that’s the least of our problems. As you know, Nick Wright touched on it, but he is getting more political, and, well, given his leanings and his huge platform, I’m worried about the men he will influence. What is the end game for this guy? He already got his money.
Thanks for all the great work – Happy Juneteenth!
