:10 Hey, want to hear a good one? Sports talk station 93.7 FM—The Fan is running a promo on the air that’s says the station supports Black History Month. I know a way they can really support it…hire some Black people to do sports talk at your station!!!

:09 The Denzel Washington Top 10 List frenzy continues…and can somebody please tell me how I left “Hurricane” off the list? (Stephan Broadus did too) Hurricane may in fact be the best acting Denzel has ever done.

:08 Oh yeah, somebody did tell me, that somebody would be Dave Hughes. He walked in Nancy’s Restaurant and jumped right on me! So to Dave and his family, thanks for the heads up and you’re all now in “The Locker Room,” and this week you’re not by yourselves. To my boys hanging at Nancy's on the regular…Vince Neal, Jessie Jenkins and Sir Julius Redd, you're all now in “The Locker Room” and thanks for reading. Now Dave, run tell that! Say what???…Nancy’s Restaurant is over in Cookie Coleman’s and Dennis Briggs’ territory, Wilkinsburg. Best breakfast since Scotty’s Diner…back in the day. You remember, that’s where we all went at 2:00 in the morning after the joints closed. Me and Kenny Durrett did serious damage there…love ya and miss ya “K.D.!”

:07 Yeah, you knew it was coming next. Here’s The Kenny Durrett All-Star Classic Run Down-Sat. April 7—Location to be announced—Grade School Boys & Girls—9 a.m.-11 a.m., Middle School Boys & Girls— 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Community Game—1-2 p.m. and High School Boys & Girls—2-4 and 6-8 pm—All graduating seniors are invited to play. You must call in to register— coaches and scouts will be on hand. (Did you know the K.D. Classic is the longest running high school all star basketball game in western PA)?

:06 To the little ole lady sitting outside Gibson's Soul Food Restaurant waiting for your fish sandwich…hold on, I’m a coming!!

:05 You want Andrew Luck from Stanford to be the best college quarterback coming out in the NFL Draft…but you know it’s Baylor’s R.G. III, don’t ya…don’t ya…don;t ya???

:04 Ok. It’s really not funny anymore and it’s sure not fashionable and it never was. Please, please, please my Black brothers and sisters reclaim your sons. Stop this nonsense of wearing their pants down off their “BUTTS.” It’s not only embarrassing but it’s an insult to Black pride and manhood. And I am sorry but that does mean some of you dad’s have to pull yours up too!!!!! Let’s turn the tide. Let it start here and now. Let’s change this ridiculous degrading sight. We can do this as a people. Each one…teach one! But please understand you have to teach it not force it. That’s our Black History Month entry.

:03 Pat Knight was right to call his players on the carpet. Play the game right, on and off the court or don’t play at all.

:02 Baseball's Ryan Braun said he didn’t do steroids, the lab test were mistreated for two days. I say he’s innocent until proven guilty. Now where have I heard that before?

:01 “At The Buzzer,” this is the First Friday you don't want to miss. Friday, March 2 at J.T’s Joint at the Club in Monroeville…it’s Karaoke Night for cash prizes…you know the rest of the drill! Looking for volleyball teams for “The Volley With The Stars” volleyball tournament. Sat., March 24. It’s a ton of fun. Yeah, Chuck Sanders and Richard Portis, you missed it. Gabrielle and The Diamond Models turned the Savoy to standing room only…photos coming at ya next edition.
