Denzel Washington "Alonzo" Sketch Drawing

No, I said a wolf. Not a rooster, a wolf.

FBF: Rosie Perez in Every "Soul Train" Appearance


The first dance she does in this video was always the only clip I've seen of Rosie Perez dance on Soul Train. But I never knew she did the show multiple times. 

And boy, did she have moves. 

Miss.Perez has always been an inspiration in my household. Not only for being Puerto Rican, but for making it successful from the streets of Bushwick, Brooklyn - not far from where I grew up, which is the westside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Nowadays you may say, 'what you mean being from Bushwick; it's not that bad of an area', well in today's day-and-age Bushwick looks semi California. Back then, in the 1980's and 90's, it was rough. And for Perez to come out of there and become something is pretty special. Because a lot of Puerto Ricans either stay in place or get into bad things or bad habits. I've seen it and see it.

She's the prototypical Puerto Rican girl, from Brooklyn; the way she looks, acts and talks. Perez's personality, is like a role a girl would have to act like in a movie, if the character is Puerto Rican from New York. Even Margot Robbie, whose from Australia, had to play a girl from Bay Ridge in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" and she sound similar to Perez, in that true, heavy New York accent. 

I got to see a little bit of "Soul Train" in the early to late 90's; obviously I wish I was an adult to witness Perez dance, but I was an infant at that time. I liked it. It should still be on television. Soul Train came on every Saturday afternoon and we (my family) would all watch it while eating breakfast, lol. 

So, I wanted to share this video, for a Flashback Friday. I ran into in the other on Youtube and loved it. Shoutout to the person who put this video together.

Will Rubio Ever Be A Knick?

From Ricky Rubio taking off the Timerwolves name from his Twitter profile, to Kristaps Porzingis following him on Twitter; to Rubio's cryptic tweet, we still don't know if the rumor -- 'done deal' trade (if there is such a thing) -- of Derrick Rose for Rubio swap, will happen.

Jon Niese Cartoon Sketch

Yankees sign former Mets pitcher, Jon Niese to a minor-league contract.

Can't complain about the move. I actually really like it. Lefties do really well in Yankee Stadium; the pitcher doesn't even need to have the best stuff. And Niese has been a decent pitcher in his days with the Mets.

Also -- something to remember -- Niese didn't have a spot anymore in the Mets rotation with the big name starting pitchers the Mets developed. So maybe a change scenery -- as the old cliche goes -- would do the help.

Besides C.C. Sabathia, the Yankees need another lefty in the rotation. Let's hope Niese has a surprising year.

VIDEO: Bill Maher Talked About His First Love - And No It's Not What You Think


Last Friday, on Bill Maher Realtime show on HBO, he gives his Valentine story about his first love. And no, it wasn't a human. It something else. Something -- I guess -- a little more important. 

Moments like this is why Bill Maher is the best television host, today. 

Comic Sketch: Jeter Playing Short with Baby

Nothing made my yesterday morning better, than to hear my captain Derek Jeter and his wife Hannah Jeter announce that they're expecting a baby girl.
Luckily Derek is retired from baseball, because if he wasn't.....

2017 Grammys: Chance the Rapper Ink Sketch

He met Kanye West and sure didn't fail.
Even though I'm very Chance the Rapper won Rap Album of the Year -- plus to other two other awards -- I felt like Kanye West's "The Life Of Pablo" album was 100-times better. Kanye has a great song from top to bottom in that album. But nevertheless, it's good to see a 'rapper' win a Grammy.

ESPN Embarrassed Oakley, More Than Dolan


Call me a fool for believing in James Dolan, but I believe the guy.

Cartoon Sketch: Oakley & Dolan

The New York Knicks handled this whole situation, terribly. With them knowing Charles Oakley had these feelings, you would think -- as a good organization would do -- they'd do whatever they can to ease the tension.
