Hello friends, particularly those whom I've met in St. Louis. I am writing with important news: my time in Missouri is coming to a close. I have decided to transfer to Monmouth University. I did not arrive at this decision hastily. I mulled it over for a long time during breakfast this ...

Have you felt as though your life were suffering from a deficit of listening to me talk about basketball? Were you yearning to hear me make jokes about white people? Step out into the sunshine, you huddled masses. On Wednesday I stopped by the Disciples of Clyde podcast for a sprawling hour ...

I don't know. My friend and collaborator Ty Keenan traded some emails this week with me about how it hurts to root for a horrible NBA team. You see, he rides with the Warriors, so he knows. Our epistolary exchange is up for your consumption on FreeDarko . Enjoy. P.S. The title comes from ...

- BK-One ft. Black Thought, "Philly Boy" Good lord, do I love this. Black Thought has always been able to wield an incredible sense of pathos. It stems from the combination of his voice, his lyrics, his common focus on tangible ideas and topics, the gravitas--real or aspirational--which the ...

Ever vigilant in her scan of the internets, my mother sent me an interesting link this morning : twelve observations about the economy from a Gluskin Sheff economist and Reuters columnist James Pethokoukis. There's a lot of interesting material here to consider, but my attention was stolen away ...

Either The New York Times can't tell apart basketball-playing Stephens (racists), or it masked a chronicle of Jackson's eccentricity with a headline about a player, Curry, more likely to grab the average New York reader's attention. I'm going with the former, as they've since changed the ...

I just like the picture of Madonna holding a baby in a yarmulke It's no secret that most rappers approach Jews with either casual contempt or the faint praise of positive stereotype. It's not that Jews are so affirmatively bad; they're not pushing weight or jackin' people up or terrorizing ...

Maybe you could have punched a baby this morning to make the day complete. For those keeping score at home, here are the numbers: Last year, Michigan was 3-9 overall, 2-6 in the Big Ten. It beat Miami (OH) and Wisconsin at home, Minnesota on the road. It lost to Ohio State, Penn State, ...

I have a friend at law school who loves making fun of how white women dance at law school parties. Some of them "keep their feet stationary and just sway back and forth like trees. It's painful. I was dancing with one of them and she started doing that and I lost all interest like that!" ...

Between this and "Michael, Michael," Ron is emerging as a lost member of Color Me Badd. Or maybe a basketball-playing Kid CuDi with a better voice and less vanity. The easy thing to do is call Ron insane, which he obviously is on some level. But I think there's something earnest and ...

Prospective GM's, get him now! Only owed $10.5m this year and $11m+ next! This caught my eye today : Eddy Curry won't be with the team as the regular season begins. The Knicks still have him working on his own to cut down more weight and get him able to be able to play at the speed the ...

The future of what? Posting while angry, like texting while driving, can be very dangerous. I am going to do so, all the same. Earlier this week, I wrote that Rich Rodriguez had restored to Michigan the wonderment of college football. In his second season, Rodriguez had again made it ...

P! Nothing works better on a Saturday around the house than some new Megasean. It's weird how all the tough talk and street life makes me appreciate the sun shining. Just one more sign that Mr. Price is the man. - Sean Price ft. St. Maffew, "Weed & Hoes"
