R. Kelly can’t read?!?! What? Did you see this? While giving a motivational speech in Chicago (reason#87 the Olympics aren’t coming to Chicago) he said that he can’t read. Did he really admit that he’s illiterate? Before you jump on me for my grammar, that’s different. The fact that I have a tendency to ramble on and use run on sentences has nothing to do with the fact that a CELEBRITY/Millionaire can’t read. I’m amazed. How does this happen? Just because you can sing, you don’t have to be able to read?

What has happened to our society? I don’t want to hear this bull crap about how he was the youngest of four children to a single mother and was raised in the projects of south Chicago and never graduated high school. HE’S 42 YEARS OLD! Do you think at sometime between Bump n Grind and I Believe I Can Fly he could have paid someone to teach him how to read. Too busy? What about sometime between I’m Your Angel and Pee-gate? It’s bad enough he’s still in the public eye after he pee’ed preyed on young girls. Shut up I know he was found not guilty, notice I didn’t say innocent, but that brother pissed on them kids and you know it. And besides, I can write whatever the heck I want to. It isn’t like he can read it. I wonder if he needs an accountant?

Have a good week everybody.

I’m Just Sayin’

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I’ve had a pretty good one full of football. As you have most likely guessed from some of my previous posts, I absolutely love football. I wish it was played year round, everyday of the week. But there are other sports to help with the withdrawals. Two of the other major sports had big news events this week.

First, the NBA Hall of Fame inducted perhaps the greatest basketball player to ever “lace ‘em up”. Michael Jordan entered the Hall Friday. Jordan was a class act with a list of accomplishments that go on and on. From NBA Championships, MVP’s, Scoring Titles, Olympic Gold Medals, and more, the man had done just about everything, even trading slam dunks for strikeouts for a short while. You can argue the “greatest ever” title if you want, but NO ONE deserves a place in the Hall of Fame more than #23.

Major League Baseball made a little history Friday night too. Derek Jeter forever took his place alongside such great Yankee sluggers as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle. In the third inning of a rain soaked game, Jeter singled giving him the most career hits as a New York Yankee with 2,722. The record formally held by Lou Gehrig was 2,721 and had stood for over 72 years. I am a big New York Yankees fan, but even if I wasn’t, this still was a huge day.

My hats are off to the both of you Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter. For not just being sports heroes, but for also being true role models. With all these idiots in sports today always getting in trouble, getting arrested constantly, and almost advertising drug use, I would feel fine with my boys looking up to either of you. You have represented your teams, your fans, your family, and most importantly, yourself with respect and dignity. I’m just sayin’.
