Politics, News & Issues > Football Does Art Monk belong in the NFL Hall of Fame?

2 of 7

In my humble opinion Art Monk should have been a first or second ballot nominee to the Hall of Fame. Maybe he was a victim of his time, or maybe a victim of sportswriters catching up from the past to bridge the future. When Art Monk left the game he had already surpassed Steve Largent's new record for most catches throughout... More..

Sports & Recreation > Football Players ESPN on a mission - The death of Terrell Owens

4 of 10

Terrell Owens can be a cancer to a team. He has all of the ability in the world but his past has been marred by personality quirks that has ruined his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles. After his debacle with the Eagles and Terrell hit the free agent market, many teams passed on him. They passed... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms How violence in entertainment affects our society

21 of 52

The entertainment industry is very powerful. People have and always will be influenced by what they see on television and the movies. Violence in the movies and t.v. does more harm than good to a society that already has lax gun laws, and restrictions. Marketing and the entertainment industry regularly use subliminal message...

Politics, News & Issues > Football Does the New York Giants' Super Bowl appearance enable Eli Manning out of Peyton's shadow?

3 of 7

Does the New York Giants' Super Bowl appearance enable Eli Manning out of Peyton's shadow? The National Football League is rather unique than most professional sports. The real football season is 16 games long and more if you make the playoffs. That's not enough games to show dominance, unless you are that good. Making the S... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Once saved, always saved?

15 of 28

Yes, being saved starts with the sinners prayer. It starts with an acknowledgment that I have a sinful nature and that I need a savior to save me from hell. I don't believe that God is in any stretch of the word, an Indian giver. He said that he is the doorway to heaven. Once you accept Jesus the Christ into your heart, your... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections on the American Dream and overcoming racism

4 of 6

America is a great nation. It is a melting pot of many diverse cultures. That has been a blessing and a curse. The very thing that makes us great is the very thing that erodes us at the core. Being a black man, I am first judged by the color of my skin. That precedes that fact that I am human and a man. This has been a great... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Football Who's the better career running back: Emmitt Smith or Barry Sanders?

10 of 14

Barry Sanders was the better career running back. If I had to choose between Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith, I would go with Barry. Emmitt played on a much better team. His supporting cast was "leap years" better than the Lions' teams that Barry played on. Emmitt had better blocking, passing, catching, and defense. Emmitt di... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Should NBA coaches be allowed to scout student athletes prior to high school graduation?

13 of 18

The NBA has already tried that experiment and it was not successful. I won't say it failed, because it wasn't a disaster, but it had its flaws. I know this is America the land of free enterprise and big business. Every man should be able to earn his wares when he is capable to do so. Sometimes there is a urgent need that nee... More..

Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues The absence of black fathers in the home

16 of 20

This is a big problem in our society. I do believe that it is more prevalent in my black culture. I believe there are several reasons why that is so. One reason is an eroding of our core values. We have placed more emphasis on the almighty dollar than we have on raising our children. Our values are on what makes you feel goo... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism Humility of the saints

5 of 6

As saints we are called to be as Christ. Christ taught us to be humble by washing each others feet, by serving one another, and by loving one another. Christ was our example. Christ was never boastful. He could perform miracles and you never heard of him gloating or taking credit. He always deflected credit back to the Fathe... More..
