Portis' comments had Twitter all abuzz.  Jemele Hill, columnist on ESPN's First Take, went back and forth with the Shock Exchange on the matter.  The Twitter conversation went as follows:

Late in the Ravens - Jets game, Ray Lewis shows Dustin Keller the true meaning of Hard Knocks.  But to his credit, Keller shook off the hit and made a catch on fourth down that fell one yard short of extending the Jets' last drive.

Some good advice?

According to TMZ, Harris stated that Mayweather began yelling at her "I'm going to kill you and the man your (sic) are messing around with . . . I'm going to have you both disappear".  When I heard the involvement of CJ Watson, I immediately thought back to my childhood during gatherings with my family in VA.  Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors would be everywhere dancing, playing cards, talking smack, etc.  But there was always that one song by Johnny Taylor that would send the women into a frenzy . . . they would get up and dance, tell "inside jokes" and generally have a "cheshire cat grin" plastered across their faces.  The lyrics would go something like this:

As many of you know, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is upon us.  Twice a year American fashion designers display their designes to a crowd of journalists, celebrities, socialites, and "fashionistas".  This year the event has been moved from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center which has 30% more space.  Not only do fashionistas get to see the new collections from their favorite designers, but they get to rub elbows with celebrities that they would see on the regular.  That said, Coach Baker has turned down all invitations to Fashion Week this year. 

Can you imagine all those beautiful women dressed in haute coutoure and all lathered up over the various festivities?  The parties . . . tall tales being told, etc.  Apparently, the mere thought of these women asking for his phone number, grabbing on him on him, asking him "What your name is" causes him extreme agita . . . "Yeah I think I am going avoid Fashion Week this year.  Though it is probably one the best time to meet beautiful, smart, accomplished women, on Friday night I will probably hit the gym (in order to keep my weight up) and then head home so I can curl up with a good book.  That way I will be well rested to watch college and pro football on Saturday and Sunday.  Besides, the the last time I went a Fashion Week event this happened . . .

Lakers forward Matt Barnes was arrested and booked Wednesday night into Sacramento County Main Jail on a domestic charge for alledgedly obstructing the use of a telephone line, according to a report in the Sacramento Bee.  According to the report, Matt and a woman believed to be his girlfriend had a physical confrontation and both persons had visible injuries.  Barnes posted a $50,000 bond and is to appear in court early next week.  Formerly with the Orlando Magic, Barnes recently signed a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers and is known as one of the best defensive players in the league.  Barnes may be better known for his appearance on Basketball Wives, the hit docudrama on VH-1 created by Shaunie O'Neal, Shaquille O'Neal's ex-wife.  The showed featured Matt and his fiance, Gloria Govan, and their two kids.  There were a few verbal altercations between Govan and Dwight Howard's ex-girlfriend on the show as well as a twitter beef between Barnes and a few other castmembers, resulting in a Twitter trending topic #MattBarnesWho.  Matt and Govan were scheduled to get married but abruptly called off the wedding this summer.    

What goes around . . .

The results for African Americans were in line with what you would expect with African American men mentioning that they liked ESPN, god-fearing, soul food, playing basketball, Menace to Society, Kanye West, Gucci Mane, Alicia Keys, Boondocks, XBox360 and playstation (what the what ... how old are these dudes?), etc.  African American women mentioned soul food, The Color Purple, Alicia Keys, Tyler Perry, lip gloss, god-fearing.  Since the men liked Boondocks and the women like Tyler Perry, it seems clear where the two groups would side in the recent spoof by Boondocks.  I also thought it peculiar that the men are predisposed to Gucci Mane, despite the fact that he (and a few other Southern rappers) get knocked publicly for his lyricism (or lack there of).  Gizodo drew a few conclusions from the study but one in particular, pertaining to African American women threw me for a loop:
