Former Buckeye Mike Conley is the Engine Behind the Memphis Grizzlies
The NBA Playoffs are here, and the Memphis Grizzlies are continuing to look like the favorite in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies play a tough brand of old-school basketball that grinds the other team into a pulp. After defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in convincing fashion the Grizzlies are up 2-1 in the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Grizzlies have All-Stars Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol playing at a very high level and making it a pain for them to be handled in the paint. The world knows and respects the tandem of Gasol and Randolph, but Mike Conley Jr is making a name for himself as well. Tony Allen, Mike Conley, and TayShaun Prince are the perfect compliments to the Randolph and Gasol. With Conley being the floor general he places everyone in the best position to succeed. Since the trade of Rudy Gay Conle ...

Buckeye Football Can't Come Soon Enough
Last season was magical as the Buckeyes went 12-0. No the team wasn't rewarded from a national standpoint, but to win twelve games in a row without a loss is a testament to how far this group of young men came from a season ago. With Coach Urban Meyer in the fold for years a come this may be a trend to how football seasons will be at THE Ohio State University. The spring game was exciting to see. Players such as Mike Thomas, Chris Fields, Noah Spence, Curtis Grant, and Aldophus Washington opened a lot of eyes with their play. We all know that Braxton Miller, Bradley Roby, Ryan Shazier, Carlos Hyde, and the Offensive Line brings to the table, but it is good to see that other players are stepping up as well. I am itching to see the Bucks suit up this season. With last season's success it is only right to expect a similar output. Th ...

Q&A (excerpt from my book)
Is prison really like what they show on TV? Prison is nothing like what you see on TV. I cannot speak for every person or prison but I can speak on my stay here. Television can't describe how mentally challenging prison can be. Having a lot of time can be vice. When I first started my time I had no idea of what to do with myself. Everything about prison is primitive on a lot of levels, so there was a major lifestyle adjustment initially. Different mentalities from different decades and cultures mixed with uncomfortable circumstances don't always make for good environments. I would honestly have to make a week's work of posts to accurately describe prison and it probably wouldn't do any justice because I'd just be describing my personal situation. Every individual sees this experience different. I am just giving you my extre ...

Open Letter (excerpt from my book)
I was given your name by your cousin currently in this facility with me. We good friends and he cared enough to ask me if I could send out some words of encouragement to you. He said you seem to be losing focus in life. I don't have a problem doing this simply because I enjoy the possibility of helping to potentially change someone's life. I started out by asking a little about you and he gave me a brief description. The first thing that popped into my head as he talked about you was George needs to learn to be a leader. Let me let you in on a little secret. Nothing good ever happens when you're hanging out and entertaining yourself with the peanut gallery. I know all the nonsense and foolishness is entertaining at times but please understand this; something you find funny and so entertaining can either put you in an early grave or behind ...

Big, Buff, Buckeye Football Players and Pedicures
Did my title catch your attention? Good, because that’s exactly what this post is about- big, buff Buckeye football players getting pedicures at a local mall. Does that imagery put a smirk on your face? Of course it does because the thought of strong, burley young men, known for engaging in a violent gladiator-like sport, getting their feet massaged and cared for is a funny thought. The irony of it all is undeniable. In the end, I really want to get your feelings on if it’s “okay,” from a masculinity standpoint, for a man (more specifically football players) to “get his feet did?” Here’s how the story unfolded: I was witness to this event several months ago, just before the start of the 2012 football season. My mom, daughter, and I were visiting Polaris Mall here in Columbus. While leaving the food court, I noticed a sm ...

Traffic (excerpt from my book)
I am who I am. I do what I do, and it is what it is. It takes a lot of courage and character to keep going on after what I've been through. Some people have gone crazy and have never recovered from the crazy state of mind due to the stress that was imposed on them. Respect the fact that I've put in the work necessary to get my life back in order. Extreme depression and excessive amounts of stress can mess up anyone's life. If everyone will just take a moment to imagine with me an 18 year old who is not well traveled or formally educated and has only been faced with urban challenges. In a nutshell that's who I was when I was dealing with problems that I didn't have the capacity to understand, manage, control, or properly assess. I didn't have the intelligence or the resources to reach out to the appropriate human resources to help me out i ...

Not My Guy
The Torg, one half of the notorious “Common Man and The Torg” radio show which airs on 97.1 here in Columbus, may have just stamped his ticket to work at “the Citgo.” Over the weekend, Scott Torgerson tweeted a comment about College Game Day’s (and Michigan alum) Desmond Howard. The content of that tweet (pictured below) has sparked a mini-controversy for The Torg and the “Flagship Radio Station of the Buckeyes.” The blowback was swift. The Torg has been suspended for an indefinite amount of time and was not on the show Monday afternoon. Here’s my biggest issue with how this is being handled and it lies with the show’s hosts. If you’ve listened to the show, which I do, then you know that the personalities of the two men are very brash and unapologetic, which is fine. But they spend so much time ripping at ...
