Now the NBA is concerned about officiating??

Brandon King

January 2023, Boston Garden, picture it. All-world forward LeBron James drives to the basket for a potential game-winning basket , only to get whacked on the arm by Jason Tatum causing the shot attempt to careen harmlessly off the bottom of the rim. The NBA refs continued their precedent of making calls they shouldn’t or not making the ones they should and in the face of overwhelming visual evidence decided there was nothing to see and pocketed the whistles. We then saw an incredulous nearly 40-year old living legend of…

Albany State released statement on Marcus Stokes

Brandon King

Unfortunately for himself, the name Marcus Stokes is more known for his off-the-field misdeeds than his gridiron exploits. The quarterback out of Ponte Verda Beach, FL had committed to the University of Florida, but that all changed when he decided to engage in some anti-black racism but doubled down on his fatuousness by video recording himself spouting the granddaddy of anti-black epithets , the n-word, as he sang along with a rap song. Others offers dried up quicker than the Gobi Dessert as the video had made him nearly radioactive…

At this juncture…
