It's just facilities access, for the most part. Not many pools in impoverished areas and not many trips to the beach either by kids from BedStuy or Cottage Grove or Compton or the SWATs or North Philly. Same way if hockey was played with less required gear and rinks were all over those hoods, best believe some kid with "La," "De" or "Jay" in the beginning of his first name would be fucking with Gretzky's records by now.

And, while not widely known in the "broader community," black women generally don't swim for vanity reasons.

Ha. I'll never forget in medical school at a Black med student conference, the host students scheduled a pool party (on Friday night of the conference (during Easter weekend). 5 guys showed up and no women. They had gotten their hair done for the conference and stayed far away from the pool.

Thank god for rap videos
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Ah, and particularly god bless Luke's "I Wanna Rock" video. SIr MixALot could have just played his song over the footage from that video.

Of Clowns and Criminals:
The performers that worked for these men held no illusions. "The clubs were owned by bootleggers and even a few killers," explained actor George Raft, who worked as a dancer in New York supperclubs. "In my time I knew or met them all. Al Capone, Joe Adonis, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, Dutch Schultz, Machine Gun Jack McGurn, Lucky Luciano, Vinnie Coll - most of them were around. That didn't bother the patrons. We all worked the same places. The clubs were fun and a proving ground for talent. They're part of the history of this country." But somewhere along the way things changed. Remarkably, the Mob would lose its grip on show business. The Mob was once an untouchable entity and friendly with politicians. A revolving door of money and handshakes ensured cooperation. With the advent of the nineteen seventies, a paradigm shift occurred. Soon it was corporate America that proudly held the mantle of being above and beyond the law. A new kind of criminal exchanged money and handshakes with the political establishment. The Mob was replaced.

After a successful decade as Joey Bishop's prodigy, comedian Lou Alexander observed the power shift. "When I was working Vegas the Mob ran Vegas," he explains. "Then it became corporate. Today it's corporate! Today it's like Disneyland! But in those days all the people that ran Vegas loved show people. They were great to us and they would give us everything - whatever you wanted." Despite the fact comedians were often surrounded by Mob violence, today's survivors are steadfast in their preference of Mob dominance over corporate rule. In many ways this is astonishing. Comedians ran afoul of the Mob more than other performers, inevitable, as a comic's vocation was ridicule. Every comedian of the era has a hairy story. Comedian Jack Carter managed to escape Mob hitmen in four separate cities. Shecky Greene was relentlessly beaten by contract killers. Sammy Shore and Rusty Warren managed to power through their respective acts while a Mob hit took place in the club during their shows. And yet, despite such bloodletting, Shore conforms to the opinion of his peers when he says, "Working for those guys, you knew they were the Mob... and they were just the greatest guys in the world."

that was a good read - always fun to read about the mafia. Drake's wife had some big ole natural titties.

So far the Florida-Virginia game is my toughest pick. That's going to be a good game.

Check that, all 7-10 games seem to be the best matchups.
