Published:
We are ramping up production and this week we have another episode. This week we are importing a podcast from another feed. I recently did an away game with the homey Mickell Ford on his Podcast I Watched This As An Adult. It’s a podcast that takes on the duties of watching movies from the past that you were probably fond of but with a fresh set of eyes and cinematic standards. In this particular episode, we review ‘Romeo Must Die’ staring Aaliyah, Jet Li and somehow DMX makes it on the poster as well. It had been at least 15 years since I had watched the movie. I thought I was going to be thrilled to get nostalgic about my days but in fact, when we break down the film, we discussed some of the problematic things in the film that was much more prevalent in 2000. This also gave me an excuse to bust out my DMX impression. I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to but I was completely captivated by Aaliyah’s performance. If you are a fan of hers it’s a must-watch but everyone else could probably live without it. Thanks for listening!

Published:
Wudup Doe!? This week on the podcast we talk a lot of Atlanta Falcons because Sunday there is one last game in the Georgia Dome. It's probably the most meaningful game at the soon to be demolished building. There was an NFC Championship game in 2014 where the Atlanta Falcons gave up a 14 point lead to the then unstoppable, pre-"Freedom Fro" Colin Capernick. Only this time it't the actually unstoppable Aaron Rodgers that's in town with 52 cheesy challengers. So could you see why some of the die hard fans don't believe. I also had a lot of questions on how we got here in the first place so I called up friend of the podcast Aaron Freeman of FalcFans and the Locked On Falcons podcast, to figure out what's changed with the Dirty Birds and why they won't go back to who they were.

The Dallas Cowboys have a decision to make in whether to keep Dak Presscott starting or go back to Tony Romo. I understand there is momentum to protect. It seems that the media and the fans believe more in the narrative of Tony Romo being a screw up or someone who can't win when it counts instead of what he is. Which is he is a to 10 quarterback in the league. Sometimes you have to look at the stats and look at the sum parts. Dak isn't ask to do a whole lot and it's working. With Romo being out a few more weeks, the decision for the Dallas Cowboys will be even harder.

Wudup people? #DRDS is back with a new episode. On this edition we are joined by Sekou Smith NBA.com's Hangtime Blog.He also host a podcast with Lang Whitaker and Rick Fox with the same name. Sekou spent time as an Atlanta Hawks beat writer for the AJC and now covers the whole league. I felt like Smith would have some perspective in the culture shift that Hawks have and why they can't seem to command the respect a #1 seed. This is part 1 on of the interview. Thanks listening.

Published:
Wudup doe! #DaRundown Sports comes for the second time week. Joining me on this episode is new friend of the show Brian Anderson (@MrAnderson035)from Rant Sports. I had to have him on because what Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City Thunder are doing right now. Durant has been putting up 40 like he's on NBA2K14. (By the way I'm using the nick name Iceberg Slim because I'm agreeing with Jalen Rose.) We dove in about the other pieces that are making the team roll so hard. We agree it has something to do with Reggie Jackson and Scotty Brooks.
#DaRundown Sports Podcast Ep. 12: Pacers are sports "bridesmaids", NFL coaching moves, NBA trends
Published:
Wudup doe! Its #DaRundown Sports coming for a second time this week and to hold you over before the big game. Slim (@Eazyslife) and I discuss plenty today. For starters Slim gave his takes from the NFL Championship Weekend and all the Richard Sherman overreactions. From there he offers up his "Bridesmaids Theories" on the San Francisco 49ers and the Indiana Pacers. To put it quickly you have the 49ers who have been to three straight NFC Championship games. He drew a comparison to Buffalo Bills of the early 90's. They won four straight AFC titles and lost in the Super Bowl every time. I feel they resemble the Donovan McNabb and Brian Dawkins' lead Eagles in the 2000's. They went to four straight NFC title games and went the Super Bowl the last time in the run and lost to the Tom Brady New England Patriots. Either one you can see the similarities of going deep in the playoffs and coming up short of the ultimate goal a championship. The 49ers are coming short and it will be something to watch over the years and to see what kind of narrative is built up over the years.
