:10—You know ordinarily I would tell you I’m at my spot bringing you the update, but this time I’m going to tell you where I am and hope it makes you like me even less than you do now. Oh come now, let’s not get it twisted. Some of you can’t stand me and you know I’m right…yet you continue to read me week after week…huh? Anyway, I’m way down here in Jacksonville, Florida with my brother Larry “Bax” Baxter. Funnin’ in the sun baby. Now DROP – THE – MIKE!!!
:09—That being said, the Warriors and OKC are knotted up at one game apiece in OKC tonight and they’re feeling it. My guess is OKC gets this one on energy and GSW gets the next one. More than likely we’re going seven games, but at this point I really can’t tell ya!
:08—Toronto finally got some grapes and decided to go all “bad boys” on LeBron and the boys. Hey, you gotta do it. You have to give the Cavs and LBJ something to think about when they come down that lane. Let’s see how the Cavs respond.
:07—Hey Black and Gold…no, I’m not talking about your boyfriend in a gold sweater, I’m talking to the Black and Gold Steelers nation…the season kicks off September 12th against the Washington, D.C. football team. Let’s get ready for this Super Bowl!
:06—The Pens and Tampa Bay are tied two games apiece in the Eastern Conference finals. That’s all I can tell ya. And my guess is you didn’t know much more than that anyway.
:05—Hip-hip -hooray…hip-hip-hooray…hip-hip-hooray!!! And that’s for “Lady D.” The fabulous and famous Debbie Norrell received the Legacy Award from the Pittsburgh Black Media Federation to a long thunderous standing ovation from her peers and others. Well done and well deserved for the Pittsburgh icon that has done it all. Walked the runways, T.V. and big screen, newspaper and radio and has interviewed some of the greatest of all time from James Brown to Denzel Washington. Congratulations Ms. Norrell. It couldn’t happen to a better woman.
:04—Speaking of Denzel Washington, and I was if you were paying attention, the trailer is out for the reboot of The Magnificent Seven…the greatest western ever made! Like I told you before, they better come on strong or go home. The legend of the seven is no joke!!!
:03—To my brother at the Pittsburgh International Airport that reads Overtime every week…thank you sir and keep on flyin’! You know who you are. You are now “In the Locker Room.”
:02—Hey ya’ll…write this down. And for you City League grads, have somebody get some pencils and do this for ya, (C’mon man, I’m just kidding. “You people” are so sensitive.): No. 1 —The 2nd Annual Master Jacquet Bazemore Memorial High School Life Skills Seminar will be held Saturday, June 11, 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Plant-A-Seed Agency on Baum Blvd., across from the library, next to the Presbyterian Church, for boys and girls 10th, 11th and 12th grades who want to get a head start on being successful after high school.
