CHARLES BARKLEY is sometimes known for making a right turn from the left lane in his sports analysis yet there are times when Chuck completely gets it right. Such was the case in Barkley’s “Inside the NBA” commentary on the historic news of NBA player JASON COLLINS coming out as a gay man… Chuck also cleared up reservations I had about the probability that Collins, now a free agent, would find a team to play for in...

Jason Collins compared his sexuality to baking in an oven. It took him 33 years for his “done” timer to go off. The news of Washington Wizards free agent center JASON COLLINS coming out as the first actively gay professional athlete in the four major US sports has been the buzz around the sports world Monday. The 34-year old Collins revealed his sexual orientation as the feature cover story in the May 6 issue of Sports...

Bosh Photo Fail: As Chris Paul accepts All-Star MVP award, Posh Bosh provides another oddly curious stare. If ever there was a more boring, suspect All-Star selection it has to have been CHRIS BOSH. Yet to add insult to injury, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra decided to start Bosh in injured RAJON RONDO’s vacant spot ahead of KYRIE IRVING and JRUE HOLIDAY, electing to “go big” instead of replacing Rondo with another point...

Mouth Wide Stupid: If London Fletcher had his way, he’d evict every Dallas Cowboys fan living in the District. Now that the Washington Redskins have their franchise QB in ROBERT GRIFFIN III, loud mouth Redskins linebacker  LONDON FLETCHER believes his team is now primed and very relevant in the NFC East. So much so that he tweeted a special message for the bevy of Dallas Cowboys fans living in the D.C. area: Lol! Hater indeed....

Despite his age, Kaepernick has been asked to keep the 49ers SB record spotless Sunday. I see him doing just that. The V-Damus made up for a lackluster divisional round with flawless picks in the conference title round. Both the 49ers and Ravens handled their business to push my record to 6-4 this postseason, setting up the Super Bowl finale in New Orleans. After Patriots fans decided to post a billboard of Ray Lewis’s retirement...

The Falcons cannot stop all of the 49ers playmakers. Look for Crabtree to play big for Kaepernick with VD doubled. The divisional round was anything but kind to the V-Damus. The Patriots were my only pick that advanced to the conference championship round dropping my record to a mediocre 4-4 in playoff picks. The Broncos failed, the Packers got run over and my darkhorse spech, the Seattle Seahawks, couldn’t quite pull off the...

Can’t stand the Heat: There’s a really good reason why Lakers scrutiny doesn’t compare to what the Heat endured. Without question, the biggest story dominating the NBA headlines these days is the demise of the Los Angeles Lakers. It seems a day doesn’t go by without the media bashing the porous Lakers in some way. Yet for all the pounding the Lakers have taken in the press for their poor start, Miami Heat superstars...

Moreno is psyched about his first-ever playoff start for Broncos. He’ll need to run like one to get to AFC title game. Last week, Vinstradamus went 3-1 picking the wild-card games with the Cincinnati Bengals being the only oddballs obviously not ready for NFL postseason primetime. Usually not one to pat myself on the back, I must say I nailed my rookie QB prediction (Mr. Wilson proved to be the lone young gun to advance) and was just...

Harvin made it clear that he isn’t satisfied with things in Minnesota. This off season will decide his fate with team. The Minnesota Vikings have an important decision to make this off season in what the club plans to do regarding the future of star receiver and top playmaker PERCY HARVIN. Harvin is entering the final year of his rookie contract (which will pay him $1.5 million) and on several occasions, has expressed his unhappiness...

Matthews and the Packers are hellbent on stopping Peterson. Such a move may open up the Vikes passing attack. NFL wildcard weekend gets underway Saturday with thrilling gridiron sequels expected in both the NFC and AFC games. Minnesota takes on Green Bay for the second time in as many weeks while the Bengals revisit the site of last year’s playoff exit in Houston. But my bold playoff prognostications foresee a different result for...
