I grew up in the small city of Springfield, Ohio. My family didn’t have a lot, but my parents did everything in their power to help give me a quality  education. My local high school faced challenges and eventually closed, but I was lucky enough to encounter a few great teachers and mentors who made all the difference. I remember my high school English teacher, Mrs. Bodey. She saw potential in me and pushed me to excel. I write songs for a l...

You can watch the entire Muhammad ALI 30 for 30 documentary piece right here, as well as read more about the story from those involved. Ali risked his reputation, health and safety for the freedom of prisoners held by Hussein as "human shields" to deter U.S. military strikes.  On January 16, 1991, only six weeks after Ali brought 15 hostages back home to their relieved families, Operation Desert Storm bombar...

Chrissy just got engaged to singer John Legend and I couldn’t be happier for them both. Like a national treasure like Chrissy should be enjoyed by only one person.

The new rendition highlighted points that both Stephen A. & Bayless debated over the course of the 2011 NFL season. “Deny Kim K advances, and TV ballroom dances. Though it’s not a fantasy, because you all do is win.”  ”Skip would you please, just let it gooooo.” Nicely put, John. Check out the video after the break.

Of course, they would, even if that song takes a pretty direct shot at First Take’s Tim Tebow obsession. John Legend performed a song called “Extra-Ordinary Tebow” on First Take today, with the words imploring show host Skip Bayless to not talk about Tebow on every show with the line: “Skip won’t you let it go?” Legend also references tabloid stories that Tebow denied a date offer from Kim Kardashian and a chance to be a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.
